BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE Lock Error !

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

Iam using BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE to update the characteristics for equipment.

The code is somthing like:

call Function BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE
	|
	|
Read it_return -  for any error messages.
	|
	|
Bapi_commit.

.

The problem here is, when run on Batch Mode sometimes this Bapi gives out the error 'Equipment is locked by user.'

There is no other parallel job running at this time. But also we get this error. Sometimes able to replicate and sometimes not.

I searched in SDN and found few others also faced the same problem with this FM BAPI_OBJCL_CHANGE.

The thread i viewed for your ref:

Kindly suggest me the suitable solution.

Should locking and unlocking the equipment using FM enqueue/dequeue before calling this bapi will help?

or

Should this Bapi be called in Update task?

Kindly suggest me.

thanks,

Padma

Hi,

You can use CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_ALL'.
