Some1 said me , that pressing the REFRESH button on the Right hand top will display latest time. I cannot try that without knowing the exact function.

Dharamveer/ Gaurav ,

Many thanks. Can you tell me probable situations based on your previous experience when do locks like this occur.

Also it is a role of a basis consultant or a XI consultant to moniter the activities of Visual Administration.

I know I sound nuts, but I am just a novice.

HI Arnab

The SAP system is equipped with a special lock mechanism that synchronizes access to data on the database. The purpose of the lock mechanism is to prevent two transactions from changing the same data on the database simultaneously.

As per my understanding of Adapter locking happened due to many cases like High volume , Accessing same data again and again, test mode multiple access etc

Locking works on SEXO

S shared lock

E exclusive

X Exclusive but not Cumulative

O Optimistic lock

Check for SAP Locking. That applies to ABAP as well as Java
