• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBOSC007 - Error while saving DBCON; key already exists in secure store ?

  The SAP error message DBOSC007 indicates that there is an issue with saving a database connection (DBCON) because a key already exists in the secure store. This typically occurs when you are trying to create or update a database connection in the SAP system, and the key (which is usually a unique identifier for the connection) already exists in the secure storage.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Key: The most common cause of this error is that you are attempting to create a new DBCON entry with a key that already exists in the secure store.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the DBCON settings or an attempt to overwrite an existing connection without proper handling.
  System Migration or Changes: If the system has undergone migration or changes, there might be remnants of old configurations that are causing conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing DBCON Entries:
  
  Use transaction code DBACOCKPIT or DBCON to view existing database connections.
  Look for the key that you are trying to create and verify if it already exists.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Entry:
  
  If the key exists and you want to update it, you can modify the existing DBCON entry instead of creating a new one.
  If the existing entry is no longer needed, you can delete it. Be cautious with this step, as it may affect other processes relying on that connection.
  
  
  
  Use a Unique Key:
  
  If you need to create a new DBCON entry, ensure that you are using a unique key that does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify DBCON entries in the secure store.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to DBCON for any specific guidelines or updates that may apply to your version of SAP.
