• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE317 - Window name &1 of component &2 can only be configured once ?

  The SAP error message APB_FPM_CORE317 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of a Floorplan Manager (FPM) application. Specifically, it states that a window (identified by the name &1) of a component (identified by &2) can only be configured once. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to define the same window multiple times within the same FPM application configuration.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Configuration: The most common cause of this error is that the same window is being defined more than once in the FPM configuration. This can happen if:
  
  The same window is added multiple times in the FPM configuration.
  There is a copy-paste error in the configuration XML or UI configuration.
  The configuration is being reused incorrectly across different components.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Component Usage: If the same component is being used in multiple places without proper handling, it can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the APB_FPM_CORE317 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Open the FPM configuration for the application where the error occurs.
  Look for the window name &1 and component &2 in the configuration.
  Ensure that the window is defined only once. If you find multiple definitions, remove the duplicates.
  
  
  
  Review XML Configuration: 
  
  If you are working with XML configurations, check the XML file for any duplicate entries for the window.
  Ensure that each window is uniquely defined and not repeated.
  
  
  
  Component Usage: 
  
  Verify that the component is being used correctly. If you need to use the same component in different contexts, consider creating separate instances or configurations for each use case.
  
  
  
  Testing: 
  
  After making the necessary changes, save the configuration and test the application to ensure that the error is resolved.
