  Cause:

  System Configuration Issues: Sometimes, configuration issues or inconsistencies in the system can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If rules were transported from one system to another, there might be conflicts with existing rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Rules: 
  
  Navigate to the Data Migration Cockpit and check the list of existing rules. Look for the rule name that is causing the conflict.

  If you need to create a new rule, consider renaming it to avoid the conflict with the existing rule.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Rule:

  Alternatively, modify the existing rule to meet your requirements.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues: 
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, verify that the transport did not inadvertently create duplicates. You may need to adjust the transport or the rules accordingly.
