  SAP Error Message:
  W+564 Catalog &2 blocked by user &1 => Conversion not possible
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the catalog (identified by &2) you are trying to convert or process is currently locked or blocked by another user (user ID &1). Because the catalog is locked, the system cannot perform the requested conversion or update operation on it.
  In SAP, catalogs (such as classification catalogs, material catalogs, or other master data catalogs) can be locked when a user is editing or processing them to prevent data inconsistencies or conflicts. If another user has locked the catalog, your operation will be blocked until the lock is released.
  
  Typical Scenarios:
  
  You are trying to convert or update a classification catalog or a material catalog.
  Another user is currently editing or has locked the catalog.
  The system prevents simultaneous changes to avoid data corruption.
