SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UMG - Message Class for the Unicode Migration Tool.

• Message number: 388

• Message text: User &1 is already maintaining the Reprocess/INDX Log of table &2.

What causes this issue?

You tried to maintain a Reprocess Log for a table which is already
processed by another user. Therefore a lock was set for the table to
avoid parallel processing of a Reprocess Log of a single table.

System Response

No language assignments can be done as long as the lock exists for a
table. Currently only the display of the Reprocess Log is possible.

How to fix this error?

Wait until other users finished their work for the table. You can take
a look in transaction SM12 to see which user has the lock for a specific
table. In /SM12 use
<NP> Table name: UMGINFO</>
<NP>Lock argument: RL*</>
<NP> User name: <empty></>
to view the locks currently set for the Reprocess Log maintenance.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
