  Cause:
  
  User Lock: The table is locked by a user who is currently editing or customizing the settings related to the Fiori Launchpad or UI5 applications.

  System Issues: Sometimes, system issues or crashes can leave locks in place that are not released properly.

  Solution:
  
  Identify the Locking User: Use transaction SM12 to check for locks. You can filter by the user ID mentioned in the error message (&1) to see which user is holding the lock.
  Release the Lock: If the locking user is not actively working on the customizing settings, you can release the lock from SM12. However, be cautious when doing this, as it may lead to data inconsistency if the user is indeed making changes.
  Check for Long-Running Transactions: Use transaction SM66 to monitor active processes and identify any long-running transactions that may be causing the lock.
  Wait and Retry: If the lock is held by a legitimate user who is actively working, it may be best to wait until they finish their work and the lock is released automatically.
  System Restart: In rare cases, if the locks are not being released due to a system issue, a system restart may be necessary, but this should be done with caution and typically requires coordination with your Basis team.
