• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/FORCE121 - Error when unlocking object &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FORCE121 typically occurs when there is an issue related to unlocking an object in the SAP system. This error is often associated with the SAP Data Intelligence or SAP Data Hub environments, where objects such as data pipelines, data flows, or other artifacts may be locked by a user or process.
  Cause:
  The error message /ISDFPS/FORCE121 indicates that the system is unable to unlock the specified object (denoted by &1 and &2 in the error message) because it is currently locked. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  User Lock: The object is locked by another user who is currently editing or using it.
  System Lock: The object may be locked by a system process or job that is currently running.
  Session Timeout: A previous session that was editing the object may not have released the lock properly due to a timeout or crash.
  Insufficient Permissions: The user attempting to unlock the object may not have the necessary permissions to do so.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the /ISDFPS/FORCE121 error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check Lock Status:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the object. You can search for the object using the relevant criteria (like user ID or object name).
  If you find that the object is locked by another user, you may need to contact that user to release the lock.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can manually delete the lock entries in SM12. Be cautious when doing this, as it may affect other users.
  
  
  
  Check for Running Processes:
  
  Use transaction code SM37 to check for any background jobs that might be using the object. If you find any, you may need to wait for them to complete or terminate them if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Permissions:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to unlock the object. If not, contact your system administrator to grant you the required access.
  
  
  
  Restart Session:
  
  If the issue persists, try logging out and logging back into the SAP system. This can sometimes clear temporary locks.
