SAP S/4HANA Error 153: Transaction Serialization Unlock Required
Description
This error indicates a failure in the transaction serialization process within SAP S/4HANA. It typically occurs when the system attempts to process concurrent transactions that require exclusive access to the same data or resource, leading to a conflict or deadlock scenario.
Error Message
ERR_TX_SERIALIZATION_UNLOCK_REQUIRED
Known Causes
4 known causesConcurrent Data Access
Multiple transactions are attempting to modify or access the same database records or resources simultaneously, leading to contention.
Transaction Deadlock
A deadlock situation where two or more transactions are blocked indefinitely, each waiting for the other to release a resource.
Inefficient Application Logic
Application code or custom developments are not efficiently managing transaction boundaries or resource locking, increasing conflict probability.
High System Load
Under heavy system load or peak usage, resource contention can increase significantly, making serialization failures more common.
