• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BRP_ICON_UPLOAD004 - File &1 exists more than once (case-sensitive) ?

  The SAP error message BRP_ICON_UPLOAD004 indicates that there is an issue with uploading a file because the specified file name already exists more than once in the system, and the check is case-sensitive. This means that there are multiple files with names that differ only in case (e.g., "File.txt" and "file.txt").
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate File Names: The system has detected that the file you are trying to upload has the same name as another file that already exists in the target directory, but the names differ only in case.
  Case Sensitivity: The file system or the SAP application is treating file names as case-sensitive, which is common in certain operating systems (like UNIX/Linux).
  
  Solution:
  
  Rename the File: Before uploading, rename the file you are trying to upload to ensure that it does not conflict with any existing file names. Make sure the new name is unique and does not differ only by case.
  Check Existing Files: Review the existing files in the target directory to identify any duplicates. You can do this by listing the files and checking for similar names.
  Delete or Move Existing Files: If the existing files are no longer needed, consider deleting or moving them to a different location to resolve the conflict.
  Use a Different Upload Method: If applicable, consider using a different method for uploading files that may handle naming conflicts differently.
  
  Related Information:
  
  File Management: It's important to maintain a clear file naming convention to avoid such conflicts in the future.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation or help resources for more information on file uploads and handling errors.
  Operating System Considerations: Be aware of the case sensitivity of the operating system you are working with, as this can affect how file names are treated.
