Hey @Anonymous ,

 

what does it say when you "Copy details"?

Usually there are the more important information.

 

I also think you have to share the data model and tables. Usually it's otherwise not possible to detect the locking conflict.

 

If you need any help please let me know.
If I answered your question I would be happy if you could mark my post as a solution ✔️ and give it a thumbs up 👍
 
Best regards
Denis

copy details info is below, so basically i am using a hierarchy in a visual in  another page which was really taking a long time to load. Do you think the hierarchy caused this ? Do you also need the log and trace files ?
