E-recruiting - lock entry in SM12 table 'plogi'

Hi,
When we create an activity in E-recruiting, on a candidacy or an application, a lock is created for that candidacy or application, in SM12 for table 'PLOGI'. After leaving the application, the lock remains in SM12. We have to delete the lock to 'free' the candidate, or candidacy or application. Or we have to wait until the user leaves the portal session to unlock the entry.
We have had an upgrade of our system to 7.01 Netweaver. Before the upgrade, these entries were always unlocked in SM12, without delay.
Has someone had the same problem? And does anyone know a solution?
kind regards,
Ruth

Hello Ruth,
are you using the new business function for recruiter / admin requiring sap portal? are you on an up to date support package (at least e-rec EHP 4 SP 6)?

ITS Session produces lock entry in SM12

Hi
I'm new to the ITS technology.
I have to integrate a Dynpro into a WebDynpro.
Me was told to use the Iframe component in WebDynpro to integrate the "normal" Dynpro via ITS.
In a prototyp I have a WD-View, let's call it View1, where I can press a button to navigate to a second view (view2) where my Iframe is included. The Transaction is called automatically.
That works fine so far. The dynpro is visible in the webdynpro.
Now to my problem.
If I navigate back with the WD-Navigation button to the view1 and then with my button to the view2 again, the Transaction (that is called autom.) says that the data is already locked by me.
I assume that the first session is not closed with using the webdynpro button.
(A lock entry is listed in SM12)
How can I tell the ITS-Server explizit to end the session?
Thanks for your help!
regards, Tom

Hello Tom,
what type of ITS service are you calling? It sounds as it isn't a SAP GUI for HTML (~webgui=1) service. What does the service looks like? Which ITS parameters are defined?
I wonder why the ITS service does not use the Distributed Session Management provided by many of the SAP clients. However, SAP GUI for HTML brings its own client session management with it. Though it is not supported by SAP, the parameter ~disconnectonclose (that is responsible for that client session management of the SAP GUI for HTML) also can be turned on for so called EWT or IAC services of the ITS. You can find more information in note 689291. Please attend to the notes!
With best regards,
TJ

About lock entries

hi all,
I have seen lock entries in sm12. tables are ATPENQ,VBAK. so what should i do?
please help in this regard.
regards
praveen

The purpose of lock management is to monitor the lock logic of your system. You can determine the locks that are currently set. Locks for which the backup flag is set (because they have already been transferred to the update task) are highlighted.
This enables you to detect and rectify problems, for example, by deleting locks that are no longer required.
You can display lock entries according to the following criteria
        Table in which rows are locked
         Lock entry argument
        Client
        User who set the lock
This corresponds to the entries in the lock table.
The lock entries are shown in different colors:
Blue means that the locks have already been transferred to the update task, with the result that the backup flag is set. These locks are also rewritten to the lock table when the enqueue server is restarted.
Black means that the lock (still) belongs to the dialog owner. The backup flag is not set.
By choosing Edit - > Sort by, you can display the locks according to user, time, table, or host system (host).
By double-clicking a lock entry, you can display detailed information, including the host name and number of the SAP System in which the lock was generated.
What should you do first if a problem arises?
Use the diagnosis functions:
sm12 Extras - >Diagnosis and then
sm12 Extras - >Diagnosis in update
If a problem is reported, back up the trace files dev_w, dev_disp, dev_eq and check the Syslog.
Hope this would help you in understanding SAP lock management.

Urgent: Could lock entries (sm12) overflow?

Dear experts,
I lock the data of a Z table in a z-program .
at the same time, I receive hundreds of calls from users, that they are locked out of their jobs(which are un-related to the z table).
Could it be that the lock entries of my table, overflow something?? so it cannot lock any more?
Please help.
Thanks,
Roxani

Hi,
yes there's a limit from ~ 2.000
so generalize your lock entry (e.g. per bukrs or werks)

Lock entries for FM - 'ALM_ME_READ_CATALOG_PROFILE'

Dear Friends
Whenever the following function modules are called it create lock entries in sm12. So it restricts transaction QS41 for edit Mode.
ALM_ME_READ_CATALOG_PROFILE
QM09_READ_CATALOG_PROFILE
I want these lock entires to be deleted automatically after it is called. I tried to remove lock entires using the following function module and it never worked.
Call function 'DEQUEUE_EQQPGR2'
      exporting
        mode_qpgr = 'X'
        mandt      = sy-mandt
        katalogart = 'P'
        codegruppe = 'PTRTY'
Kindly help me.
Thanks

Hi Meghana,
I am not sure about the FM. But the CRM table COMM_PCAT_ITM contains the relation between product catalog and the product. In this table the product guids are stored in the field 'OBJECT' and corresponding product catalog guids are in the field 'PARENT_CATALOG'
Hope this helps to debug further.

PFAL Lock Entries

Hi,
I have noticed that transaction PFAL is producing a number of lock entries in SM12. For example running PFAL for object type P and message type HRMD_A is producing two lock entries (PLOGI + PREL) per object. Anyone who knows why these locks are set and if it is possible to remove them?
Thanks!
/Elvez

Hi,
the locks removing from "standard" after ending PFAL, aren't they?
If yes you shouldn't remove them by your own during run of PFAL..

Montioring lock entries

Hello,
I want to automate the lock entries in Sm12 , Please suggest me a suitable way to get my work done .
My main motive is to monitor the entries which are 24 hour old.
Thanks,
Piyush

Hi,
You can find all locked entries using FM ENQUEUE_READ.
All locked entries with details will be in return table ENQ.
To get all locked entries more than 24 hrs, just get the date (ENQ-GTDATE)and time(ENQ-GTTIME) from ENQ table
and use FM SD_DATETIME_DIFFERENCE to get the date and time difference.
If return field datediff is GE 1, locked entry duration is more than 24 hrs old.
Cheers,
Vikram

Other solution for locked entries in smq2

Hello everyone. Good day!
I have two entries in smq2 that are not moving. However, the status text indicates that they are running. 2 hours has elapsed since the entries started not to move. I have tried unlocking the queues and resetting the message causing the block. After resetting the message, the status text became Object Requested is Currently Locked by User. Thus, I deleted the locked entry in sm12. After deleting, I reset the entries again, then the status was changed to running but the entries are still not moving.
It seems that the steps I performed above do not work. So, my next step is to look at sm37 if there is a failing job. But I found none. I also checked sm59 to see if there is a connection problem with our Java server. But the connection is fine.
Do you have other ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance!

Me too not sure, how to check in SMQ2.:-(
We ca do this in SXMB_MONI. Here you will find your msg with green flag.
Here there will be a column for queue name. If you click on this it will take you to the screenyou see from SMQ2. In SXMB_MONI, there will be a column which says PE/AE. If it is PE then the msg corresponds to a BPM. Click on PE to know about the steps completed in the BPM.

Does locked documents in sm12 can cause system to slow down in reading

hi experts,
When I check locked entries in sm12, i found some locked entries which are already past 8 hours and sometimes more. Do those entries contribute to the system's slow performance? When should I delete those entries? I hesitate to delete locked entries and kick users out of the system because they maybe editting some documents and have'nt saved them yet.
Thank you in advance for your response.

Hello,
System Lock mechanism doesn't slow down system. But sometime it's required to delete the entries of hanged uses login processes, which can be done through SM04/AL08 as described by GURUS.
But sometime though you try to delete from these T-Code the process doesn't get delted, then you can proceed for the below mnetioned two steps:
1. SM50 and delete the corresponding process through PROCESS > CANCEL WITHOUT CORE
PROCESS > RESTART AFTER ERROR -> NO
2. If you have access to OS level, then the same can be deleted by following command:
kill -9 <process no.>
In case any issue, please feel free to revert.

Lock entries for table SWWWIHEAD in SM12 Urgent

HI
From last few days, In SM12 there are lock entries coming for workitems of table SWWWIHEAD even though workitem is completed successfully. Time of lock entry shows it is time when approver started taking action on it.
Please let me know is there any impact of this on system and how it is happening and what we should do with these lock entries.
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Shiv.

Dear,
Actually we faced an issue related to this like the approver took action on it. after that the item got locked. the basis is telling there could be the RFC session from SAP Portal inbox which is not closed somehow. may be session is exited without properly logging out. in this case the item was still in his inbox and when the approver tries to open it, the error message says workitem is locked bye the same user id. The basis is telling the lock will be removed after the default stipulated time (in my case, its 8 Hrs ! ).
hope this helps.
with regards,
Sudhahar R.

Unalbe to delete lock entry table using Dequeue function module

Friends,
I display a base ALV list with custom app. tool bar. When i click on a button, i submit another report which updates a z-table for that corresponding row. I create a lock object for this entry before submitting the report. After updating the table, I try to delete the lock object using dequeue function module in the called report, but though the subrc is 0, the lock entry is not getting deleted in SM12. The called report, after dequeue, again submits report 1 (the caller). So, when i try to do some operation for the same row which I first selected, it triggers Foreign_lock exception. When I completely go out of the base list, only then the entry is deleted. Can anyone tell me the reason? I have tried with parameters _SCOPE & _SYNCHRON, but same result.
Regards,
Sathish R

Hi,
The triggering of the dequeue is not in the proper position as it need to be placed.
Thats the only problem as per u have described the issue.
Place the deque as soon as the report is return the value.
I hope it may work ur issue.

Lock entries standard table

Hi Experts,
Please help in finding which SAP Standard table can we find the lock entries(SM12 transaction).
Thanks!

Prerequisites
You have generated the demo data for the SQL Tutorial.
Log on to the database instance DEMODB as user MONA.
Examples
You can use the system table LOCKS to determine the following database information, among other things:
●     All locks that are currently held on table ROOM
SELECT lockmode, lockstate, rowidlength, rowidhex, rowid
FROM DOMAIN.LOCKS
    WHERE tablename = 'ROOM'
●     All locks that the current user holds in that database session on table ROOM
SELECT lockmode, lockstate, rowidlength, rowidhex, rowid
FROM DOMAIN.LOCKS, SYSINFO.SESSIONS
    WHERE tablename = 'ROOM'
      AND locks.session = sessions.sessionid
●     All locks that are currently held on the table with the hexadecimal internal identification 000000000000035D
SELECT lockmode, lockstate, rowidlength, rowidhex, rowid
FROM DOMAIN.LOCKS
    WHERE tableid = X'000000000000035D'
If the current user is the database administrator (DBA user) or the database system administrator (SYSDBA user), then all currently held locks are shown.
Users that belong to other user classes only see the locks held by that one user.
