This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Customer Activity Management (CAM) or similar applications where mass activities are performed on database tables.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Duplicate Index Creation: The system is trying to create a secondary index that already exists in the database for the specified application and mass activity.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the mass activity setup or in the application settings that leads to the attempt to create an index that is already present.
