Monitoring Lock Entries (SM12)

Execute Transaction SM12 and put '*' in the field User Name

SAP provides a locking mechanism to prevent other users from changing the
record that you are working on. In some situations, locks are not released.
This could happen if the users are cut off i.e. due to network problem before
they are able to release the lock.
These old locks need to be cleared or it could prevent access or changes to
the records.
We can use lock statistics to monitor the locks that are set in the system. We
record only those lock entries which are having date time stamp of previous
day.
