SQL error 1205 when accessing a table "XXXXXX" - deadlock

Hi Experts,

I came across a dead lock situation on my Solution Manager System and ST22 has lot of ABAP dumps "DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR" and still continuing.

Application : SAP Solution Manager 7.1

OS : Windows

DB : SQL Server 2008 R2

Short text

    SQL error 1205 when accessing table "MES_DB_AGGREGATE".

What happened?

    Error Text of the Database: "Transaction (Process ID 87) was deadlocked on lock

     resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim.

     Rerun the transaction."

I have gone through many sap notes on this dead lock, but still not clear on what is the exact solution for clearing this locks.

Can someone please throw some light on this?

Regards,

Leela.
