    VO717 Unexpected return code ENQUEUE_E_TMC2F: &


    1. Cause

    • The error VO717 with the return code ENQUEUE_E_TMC2F typically occurs during lock handling in SAP, specifically related to the enqueue (lock) mechanism.
    • The enqueue error code ENQUEUE_E_TMC2F indicates a problem with the lock object or enqueue request, often meaning that the lock could not be set or released properly.
    • This can happen due to:
      • A lock table overflow or lock table inconsistency.
      • A lock request on an object that is already locked or locked incorrectly.
      • Problems with the enqueue server or enqueue work process.
      • Inconsistent or corrupted lock entries in the enqueue table.
      • Network or system issues causing enqueue communication failures.

    2. Solution

    • Check the Enqueue Server Status:

      • Use transaction SM12 to check for existing locks.
      • Identify if there are any stale or orphaned locks related to the object in question.
      • Delete stale locks carefully if they are no longer valid.
    • Restart the Enqueue Server:

      • Sometimes restarting the enqueue server (enqueue work process) can clear lock inconsistencies.
      • This can be done via transaction SM51 or by restarting the SAP instance.
    • Check System Logs:

      • Use transaction SM21 to check system logs for enqueue or lock-related errors.
      • Look for enqueue server errors or communication issues.
    • Check for Lock Table Overflow:

      • If the lock table is full, increase the size of the lock table parameter (enque/table_size) in the instance profile.
      • After changing the profile parameter, restart the SAP instance.
    • Apply SAP Notes:

      • Search for SAP Notes related to enqueue errors or VO717.
      • Sometimes specific patches or corrections are available.
    • Debugging:

      • If the error occurs during a custom program or transaction, debug the enqueue calls to see why the lock request fails.
      • Check if the lock object is correctly defined and used.

    3. Related Information

    • Transaction SM12: Display and manage lock entries.
    • Transaction SM21: System log for error analysis.
    • Parameter enque/table_size: Controls the size of the lock table.
    • Enqueue Server: Central lock management in SAP.
    • SAP Notes: Search for notes with keywords like ENQUEUE_E_TMC2F, VO717, or enqueue errors.
    • Common SAP Enqueue Errors: ENQUEUE_E_TM* errors relate to enqueue lock failures.
