WEBFI_MASTER356
- Your data is currently being processed, and is therefore locked ?SAP Error Message:
WEBFI_MASTER356 Your data is currently being processed, and is therefore locked
Cause:
This error occurs when the data you are trying to access or modify is currently locked because it is being processed by another user or background job. SAP uses locks to prevent simultaneous changes to the same data, ensuring data consistency and integrity. The message indicates that the system has detected an active lock on the data object, so your transaction cannot proceed until the lock is released.
Typical scenarios causing this error include:
Wait and Retry:
Often, the lock is temporary. Wait a few minutes and try again after the other process completes.
Check Lock Entries:
Use transaction SM12 to check for lock entries on the relevant data.
Contact the User or Administrator:
If the lock is held by another user, coordinate with them to finish their work and release the lock.
Manually Delete Lock (with Caution):
If the lock is stale (e.g., due to a crashed session), an administrator can delete the lock entry in SM12.
Check Background Jobs:
If a background job is processing the data, wait for it to finish or check with the Basis team to monitor or stop the job if necessary.
Review Custom Code or Enhancements:
If this error occurs frequently or unexpectedly, review any custom developments or user exits that might be locking data improperly.
Lock Mechanism in SAP:
SAP uses enqueue (lock) and dequeue (unlock) mechanisms to manage concurrent access to data objects. Locks are managed by the enqueue server.
Transaction SM12:
Primary tool to monitor and manage lock entries.
Common Objects Locked:
Financial documents, master data records, batch input sessions, etc.
Impact:
Locks prevent data inconsistencies but can cause delays if not managed properly.
