Additional key words

Cause and prerequisites
Scheduling of a language import is terminated with the error message
1. "No action is currently possible, as a previous action is still   running" (start via SMLT)
2. "Import refused; there are jobs that are not yet processed"    (start via SMLT)
3. "Language Transport Utility locked. Administrator is active"    (start via SMLT)
4. "IMPORT_LOCK: language import is locked" (when called from    R3up).
The following causes exist:
1. A previous language import terminated. In this case, the lock    flag could not be reset.
2. The scheduling module found active or released language import    jobs. Before any further scheduling can take place, you must    check whether it is necessary to cancel the available jobs.
3. The transaction found that another user is scheduling a    language import at the same time. It is not possible to schedule    two language import jobs at the same time.
4. The scheduling module was started from R3up and recognized one    of the two situations described under 1. or 2.
Solution
1. Manually reset the lock flag.
   Start transaction SMLT and select
   -> Utilities -> Reset lock flag
2. Use transaction SM37 to check whether language import jobs are    released or active.
   On the selection screen of SM37, select
  Job name                = SAP-LANGUAGE-IMPORT*
  User                    = *
   Start after event      = *
   Jobs without start date = X
   Jobs with previous job  = X
   For active jobs, check whether the status is correct.
   If the released / active jobs are no longer running, delete the    jobs or set the jobs to cancelled.
3. No further action is necessary.
4. Proceed as described under 1. and 2.
