Lock table name required please

[Former Member]

Hi,

When iam executing program, iam getting lock table overflow error.

Detailed error as follows:

Lock table overflow

Message no. MC 603

Diagnosis

This table overflowed when trying to enter SAP locks in the lock table.

System Response

The locks could not be set.

Procedure

Contact your system administrator. If this error occurs frequently, change the size of the profile parameter 'enque/table_size'. This parameter defines the size of the lock table in KByte.

Could anyone tell me the lock table name plz.

Thanks

HI,

This means that there are many locks in the system which you are using at that point of time. So go to SM12 transaction to view all the locks.

Why do you require this table name, this is not a DDIC table, forget SE11, only C program of the SAP kernel manage this "table".

The lock table is a shared memory, not a database table.

Look at [Note 552289 - FAQ: R/3 Lock management|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/552289] for more information, try transactions SM12, RZ11, and contact Basis Team, also read [Analyzing and Solving Problems|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/f0/b57338788f4d72e10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm] in [The SAP Lock Concept (BC-CST-EQ)|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/c2/2d7037ecc92a7ee10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm]

I would suggest you to contact Basis and ask them to change the size of the profile parameter 'enque/table_size'.

This will require some analysis of the parameter.

Hope its help you.

The size of the number of entries allowed in the lock table is controlled by a system parameter enque/table_size

Details can be found here :

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/37/a2e3ab344411d3acb00000e83539c3/content.htm

This parameter will need changing by your basis team if you are trying to select a large number of table records.
