Step3. Run the first report and an exclusive lock is granted for SCARR table and you can see the lock entry in  SM12 transaction. This report locks table SCARR for 5 mins(300 seconds) and then release the lock.

Step4. Here the lock table SCARR entry in SM12 transaction.

Step5. Now after the lock is established for 5 mins, this report wants to request a lock for the same table and if lock is granted wants to update the database table entries and then release the lock.
