  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CONF019 indicates that there is an attempt to create or register a Web Dynpro configuration that already exists in the system. This error typically occurs when you are trying to create a new configuration for a Floorplan Manager (FPM) application, but a configuration with the same name or identifier is already present.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Configuration: The most common cause is that the configuration you are trying to create already exists in the system. This can happen if:
  
  You or someone else has already created a configuration with the same name.
  There was an attempt to import or transport a configuration that already exists.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Naming: Sometimes, the naming conventions or identifiers used for configurations may lead to conflicts.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Configurations:
  
  Go to the FPM configuration management transaction (usually FPM_CONF or similar).
  Search for the configuration name or identifier you are trying to create.
  If it exists, you can either modify the existing configuration or delete it if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Rename the New Configuration:
  
  If you need to create a new configuration, consider using a different name or identifier that does not conflict with existing ones.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If this error arises during a transport, ensure that the transport does not include configurations that already exist in the target system. You may need to adjust the transport request.
  
  
  
  Check for Development and Production Environment:
  
  Ensure that you are not trying to create a configuration in a production environment that was already created in a development environment without proper transport.
