USMD_GOV_API353
- Hierarchy &1 in version &4 is locked by change request &3 ?The SAP error message USMD_GOV_API353 indicates that a hierarchy in the SAP system is currently locked due to an active change request. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when a user attempts to make changes to a hierarchy that is being modified or is in the process of being transported.
Cause:
- Active Change Request: The hierarchy you are trying to access or modify is locked because it is associated with an active change request. This means that another user or process is currently working on that hierarchy, preventing you from making changes.
- Transport Lock: The hierarchy might be locked due to a transport request that is in progress, which is common in systems where changes are being moved between development, quality assurance, and production environments.
Solution:
Check Change Request Status:
- Use transaction code SE09 or SE10 to check the status of the change requests in the system. Look for the change request that is locking the hierarchy.
- If you have the necessary authorizations, you can either complete or release the change request.
Wait for Release: If the change request is being worked on by another user, you may need to wait until they complete their changes and release the lock.
Contact the User: If you know who is working on the change request, you can reach out to them to see if they can expedite their work or release the lock.
Unlocking the Hierarchy: If you have administrative privileges and determine that the lock is no longer needed (for example, if the change request is abandoned), you can unlock the hierarchy using transaction code SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to manage locks.
Check for Background Jobs: Sometimes, background jobs may also hold locks. Check if there are any background jobs that might be affecting the hierarchy.
