UCS0052 - Details

• The SAP error message UCS0052 indicates that a task cannot be executed because the data is currently being processed by another user. This typically occurs in scenarios where multiple users are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously, leading to a lock situation.
  
  Cause:
  
  Data Locking: SAP uses a locking mechanism to prevent data inconsistencies. When one user is processing data, it is locked for other users to ensure that no conflicting changes are made.
  Long-running Transactions: If a transaction takes a long time to complete, it can hold locks for an extended period, causing other users to encounter this error.
  User Sessions: Sometimes, a user may have multiple sessions open, and one session may be holding a lock on the data.

  Wait and Retry: The simplest solution is to wait for the other user to complete their task. Once the lock is released, you can try executing the task again.
