Hi,

How do we release a document which is locked by other user.

i would like to do posting on this particular document and I get error message as F5, 302.

Is there any possibility to unlock this document?

Hi Venkat,

You can delete any lock by using the transaction sm12, where you will get a list of all the locks put on by a user in that system.you have to be careful thought to delete only the relavant lock for the document in question else it might cause inconsistency if you delete something in the middle of a transaction.

Venkat,

As Vikas explained, SM12 might work but, worst case, try SM04 and drop the session (from user ID you see is blocking document). Sometimes some sessions get lost open in system... If it doesn't work either, look for any ongoing process (in SM50) from that user ID that could be still running.

Edgar
