• Key Concepts: 
  An update session is a process in the SAP ABAP Runtime Environment that allows users to make changes to the database without affecting other users. It is used to ensure data consistency and integrity by locking the data that is being changed until the update session is completed. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use an update session, a user must first open the session by issuing an “open session” command. This will lock the data that is being changed and prevent other users from accessing it. The user can then make changes to the database and commit them by issuing a “commit” command. Once the changes have been committed, the user can close the session by issuing a “close session” command. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  It is important to remember to close an update session after making changes, as leaving it open can cause problems with data consistency and integrity. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all changes are committed before closing the session, as any uncommitted changes will be lost.
