Solved: Unlock Editor Lock

How do I remove an editor lock from a program?

RichHeilman · ‎08-13-2008

The editor lock functionality is there for a reason, but I understand if you need to remove the lock, say a consultant has set it, and left to go to another project, and now you need to change the program. This is valid. Of course the right way to set it off, would be to create the user id who locked it, sign on as that user, and switch it off.

If you want another way to do it, I can not tell you that directly in good conscious, but here is a link which will tell you how to do it.

To unlock the object lock

Go to the transport organizer se10,

click on the transport .

If you select particular program and delete from the request

you can delete the lock .

If you need to move the change in another request,you can manually paste the program in other request and lock it

Hi,

if the person who added the lock has left, then you need to modify the table TRDIR for that object entry.

Or use SAP Note 1167258 very very very carefully... (as documented in the source code)...
