• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFD_PROXY_ADAPTER002 - Proxy object &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message CFD_PROXY_ADAPTER002 indicates that a proxy object you are trying to create or register already exists in the system. This typically occurs in scenarios involving the creation of proxy objects for communication between different systems, such as when using SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO).
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Proxy Creation: The most common cause is that the proxy object you are trying to create has already been defined in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The proxy was previously created and not deleted.
  There was an attempt to create the same proxy multiple times.
  The system is trying to register a proxy that has not been properly removed from the repository.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting objects between systems, the proxy might already exist in the target system due to previous transports.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: Misconfiguration in the system or incorrect settings in the integration scenario can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Proxies: 
  
  Use transaction SPROXY to check if the proxy object already exists. If it does, you may need to modify or delete it before creating a new one.
  If you find the proxy object, assess whether it is still needed or if it can be reused.
  
  
  
  Delete Existing Proxy: 
  
  If the existing proxy is not needed, you can delete it using the appropriate transaction (e.g., SPROXY or SE80).
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete the proxy object.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Requests: 
  
  If the error occurs after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that the proxy was not already included in a previous transport.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: 
  
  Review the configuration settings in the Integration Directory or the relevant configuration areas to ensure that there are no conflicts or misconfigurations.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
