• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/CDM_DPS005 - Another deployment is already running ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/CDM_DPS005 Another deployment is already running typically occurs in the context of the SAP Fiori Launchpad or when deploying UI5 applications. This error indicates that a deployment process is already in progress, and the system does not allow a new deployment to start until the current one is completed.
  Cause:
  
  Concurrent Deployment: The most common cause is that a deployment process is already running. This can happen if a previous deployment was initiated but not completed, possibly due to a long-running process or an error that caused it to hang.
  System Lock: Sometimes, the system may have a lock on the deployment process, preventing new deployments from being initiated.
  Background Jobs: If there are background jobs related to deployment that are still running, they can also cause this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Deployment Status: 
  
  Go to the transaction code /UI2/CDM in the SAP GUI to check the status of the current deployment. This will show you if there is an ongoing deployment and its status.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion: If you find that a deployment is in progress, you may need to wait for it to complete. Monitor the status and ensure that it finishes successfully.
  
  
  Cancel Stuck Deployments: 
  
  If a deployment is stuck, you may need to cancel it. You can do this from the same /UI2/CDM transaction by selecting the deployment and choosing the option to cancel it.
  
  
  
  Check Background Jobs: 
  
  Use transaction code SM37 to check for any background jobs related to the deployment. If you find any jobs that are stuck or running longer than expected, you may need to terminate them.
  
  
  
  System Restart: In some cases, if the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, a system restart may help clear any locks or stuck processes.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages that might provide more context on why the deployment is stuck.
