• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CUMTX198 - & & already exists ?

  The SAP error message CUMTX198 typically indicates that there is an attempt to create or modify a transport request or object that already exists in the system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to create a transport request for an object that has already been transported or when there is a naming conflict.
