How To Fix XT062 - User &1 is currently editing TMS configuration

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: XT - Transport Management System

• Message number: 062

• Message text: User &1 is currently editing TMS configuration

What causes this issue?

You want to change the configuration of the TMS transport domain.

System Response

The TMS configuration is already being edited by another user and is
locked (ENQUEUE lock).

How to fix this error?

You cannot change the TMS configuration until it is no longer being
edited. If the ENQUEUE lock is stuck in lock management due to a
session terminating or other serious problems, and no one is editing
the TMS configuration any longer, you can use transaction <LS>SM12</>
to specifically remove the lock (table RSTABLE lock argument
<LS>TMSMCONF *</>). This action is logged.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XT062 - User &1 is currently editing TMS configuration ?

  The SAP error message XT062 indicates that a user is currently editing the Transport Management System (TMS) configuration, which prevents other users from making changes simultaneously. This is a common issue in environments where multiple administrators or users may need to access and modify TMS settings.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A user has opened the TMS configuration in transaction STMS and is currently making changes.
  The system locks the TMS configuration to prevent conflicts and ensure data integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the XT062 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the User: Check who is currently editing the TMS configuration. You can do this by using transaction SM04 (User Overview) or AL08 (Global User Overview) to see active users and their sessions.
  
  
  Wait for Completion: If the user editing the TMS configuration is actively working, the best approach is to wait until they finish and save their changes.
  
  
  Contact the User: If you can identify the user, you may want to contact them directly to see if they can complete their changes more quickly.
  
  
  Terminate the Session: If the user is inactive or has left the session open unintentionally, you may need to terminate their session. This can be done by:
  
  Going to transaction SM04 or AL08.
  Selecting the user session that is editing TMS.
  Choosing the option to log off or terminate the session.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks: You can also check for any locks in the system using transaction SM12 (Display and Delete Locks). Look for locks related to TMS and see if you can release them if they are stale.
  
  
  System Restart: In rare cases, if the lock persists and you cannot identify the user, a system restart may be necessary, but this should be done with caution and typically as a last resort.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  TMS Configuration: The Transport Management System is crucial for managing transports between different SAP systems (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production).
  User Roles: Ensure that users who need to access TMS have the appropriate roles and authorizations to avoid unnecessary lock situations.
  Best Practices: Encourage users to log off from TMS after making changes and to communicate when they are working on configurations to avoid conflicts.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the XT062 error and continue with your TMS configuration tasks.
