• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMC_MDS_MAINT_EVENT075 - Maintenance event & does already exist -> no creation possible! ?

  The SAP error message DMC_MDS_MAINT_EVENT075 indicates that there is an attempt to create a maintenance event that already exists in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Data Management and can occur in various scenarios, such as when working with Master Data Governance (MDG) or Data Migration Cockpit (DMC).
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system has detected a duplicate maintenance event. This can happen due to:
  
  An attempt to create a new maintenance event with the same identifier or key as an existing one.
  A previous process that did not complete successfully, leaving behind an incomplete or orphaned maintenance event.
  Data inconsistencies or issues in the underlying database.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Maintenance Events:
  
  Use the relevant transaction or report to check for existing maintenance events. You can look for the event using the same criteria (e.g., ID, type) that you were using to create the new event.
  
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:
  
  If you find that the maintenance event already exists, determine if it is valid and whether you need to modify it instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Event:
  
  If the existing maintenance event is no longer needed, you can delete it. If it needs to be modified, make the necessary changes to the existing event.
  
  
  
  Check for Orphaned Events:
  
  If you suspect that there are orphaned or incomplete maintenance events, you may need to clean them up. This might involve using specific cleanup transactions or reports provided by SAP.

  Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about why the duplicate was detected.
