• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5C787 - TemSe object &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message 5C787 indicates that a TemSe (Temporary Sequential) object with the specified name already exists in the system. This error typically occurs when there is an attempt to create a new TemSe object with a name that is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Object Name: The most common cause is that the system is trying to create a TemSe object (like a spool request or a temporary file) with a name that already exists in the database.
  System Configuration Issues: Sometimes, configuration issues or inconsistencies in the system can lead to this error.
  Concurrent Processes: If multiple processes are trying to create the same TemSe object simultaneously, it can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing TemSe Objects: Use transaction code SP01 to check for existing spool requests or TemSe objects. If an object with the same name exists, you may need to delete or archive it.
  Use a Unique Name: If you are programmatically creating TemSe objects, ensure that the names are unique. You can append a timestamp or a unique identifier to the name.
  Clear TemSe Buffer: Sometimes, clearing the TemSe buffer can help. You can do this using transaction SP12 (TemSe Administration) to manage and delete unnecessary TemSe objects.
  Review Custom Code: If the error is occurring due to custom ABAP code, review the code to ensure that it handles object creation correctly and checks for existing objects before attempting to create new ones.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no locks on the TemSe objects that might be causing the issue. You can check for locks using transaction SM12.
