• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_PML066 - File Export attribute ambiguous ?

  The SAP error message CRM_PML066 ("File Export attribute ambiguous") typically occurs in the context of exporting data from the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system, particularly when dealing with file exports that involve attributes or fields that are not clearly defined or are duplicated.
  Cause:
  
  
  Ambiguous Attributes: The error usually arises when there are multiple attributes with the same name or when the system cannot determine which attribute to use for the export. This can happen if:
  
  There are multiple data sources or tables with similar field names.
  The configuration of the export does not specify which attribute to use.
  There are changes in the data model that have not been properly reflected in the export configuration.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect or incomplete configuration in the export settings can lead to ambiguity in attribute selection.
  
  
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model (e.g., new fields added, existing fields renamed), the export configuration may not have been updated accordingly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Export Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the file export. Ensure that all attributes are clearly defined and that there are no duplicates. If there are multiple attributes with the same name, you may need to rename them or specify which one to use.
  
  
  Specify Attributes Explicitly: When setting up the export, explicitly specify the attributes you want to include in the export file. This can help eliminate ambiguity.
  
  
  Check Data Model: Review any recent changes to the data model. If fields have been added or renamed, ensure that the export configuration reflects these changes.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on configuring file exports and resolving attribute ambiguities.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, test the export process to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  Seek Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a technical expert who specializes in SAP CRM.
