• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CFG/ACTIVATION078 - Request unlocked by user &1 at &2 ?

  The SAP error message /CFG/ACTIVATION078 Request unlocked by user &1 at &2 typically indicates that a transport request has been unlocked by a user at a specific time. This message is often related to the transport management system (TMS) in SAP, which is used to manage changes and transports between different SAP systems (like Development, Quality Assurance, and Production).
  Cause:
  
  Manual Unlocking: A user manually unlocked the transport request, which may have been previously locked for changes or for transport.
  System Process: The system may have automatically unlocked the request due to certain processes or configurations.
  User Action: A user might have performed an action that required the request to be unlocked, such as modifying or releasing the request.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request Status: Verify the status of the transport request in the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10). Ensure that it is in the correct state for the intended operation (e.g., released, modifiable).
  Re-lock the Request: If necessary, you can re-lock the transport request if it should not have been unlocked. This can be done through the Transport Organizer.
  Review User Actions: Check the logs or audit trails to see which user unlocked the request and why. This can help in understanding if it was an intentional action or an error.
  Communicate with Team: If the unlocking was not intended, communicate with the team members to ensure that everyone is aware of the status of the transport requests and the processes in place for managing them.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes for any specific guidance related to your version of SAP and the transport management system.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understand how TMS works in SAP, including the roles of transport requests, transport layers, and the transport directory.
  User Roles and Authorizations: Ensure that users have the appropriate roles and authorizations to manage transport requests to prevent unauthorized unlocking.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues or bugs related to transport requests and their management.
