SAP Note 690449 - Transport buffer lock file (.LOB) remains blocked on Windows

Component : Windows - Transport Tools

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/690449 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
The SAP transport buffer lock file (SID.LOB) issue arises when the OS doesn't release the lock on the file, which is meant to prevent simultaneous access by multiple tp processes. This file should be deleted post-transport buffer update by tp.exe and resides typically in the \\hostname\sapmnt\trans\tmp directory. If the .LOB file still appears locked, verification steps involve checking the presence of the process ID from the .LOB content or, if absent, using "net file" to remove the network handle and then manually deleting the .LOB file. Persistent issues suggest disabling opportunistic locking by tweaking the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Lanmanserver\Parameters.
