Summary :
SAP Note addresses the issue of lock table overflows, indicated by syslog GEG "Lock table overflow".

The solution involves a kernel patch for versions 4.6D, 6.40 and above, storing information on lock owners and arguments contributing to the last ten overflows. Data retrieval from overflow incidents can be done using transaction SM12, and the information is saved in the ENQHISOVR file on the enqueue server.
