• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /AIF/GENERATORS035 - A transparent table with the entered name exists ?

  The SAP error message /AIF/GENERATORS035 indicates that there is an attempt to create a new object (like a data structure or a generator) in the Application Interface Framework (AIF), but a transparent table with the same name already exists in the system. This can happen when you are trying to generate an interface or a data structure that conflicts with an existing database table.
  Cause:
  
  Name Conflict: The name you are trying to use for the new object is already taken by a transparent table in the SAP database.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the AIF setup where the naming conventions are not being followed properly.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, it is possible that a previous developer created a table with the same name.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Tables: Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if a transparent table with the same name exists. If it does, you will need to choose a different name for your new object.
  Rename the Object: If you have control over the naming, select a unique name for your new generator or interface that does not conflict with existing objects.
  Review Naming Conventions: Ensure that your naming conventions for AIF objects are consistent and do not overlap with existing database objects.
  Delete or Modify Existing Table: If the existing table is not needed, you may consider deleting it or modifying its name. However, be cautious with this approach as it may affect other parts of the system.
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for AIF to ensure you are following the correct procedures for creating new objects.
