• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DRF_OUTBOUND045 - Filter &1 and &2 are equal, due to same implementing class &3 ?

  The SAP error message DRF_OUTBOUND045 indicates that there is a conflict in the filter settings for the Data Replication Framework (DRF). Specifically, the message states that two filters are equal because they are implemented by the same class. This typically occurs when you have defined multiple filters that are intended to replicate the same data but are configured in a way that they overlap or conflict with each other.

  Solution:
  
  Review Filters: Check the filters defined in the DRF configuration. Look for filters that have the same criteria or conditions and are using the same implementing class.
  Modify or Remove Duplicates: If you find duplicate filters, you can either modify them to ensure they are distinct or remove one of them if it is unnecessary.
  Check Implementation Class: Ensure that the implementing class is appropriate for the filters you are using. If necessary, create a new implementing class for one of the filters to avoid the conflict.
  Test Configuration: After making changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error does not occur again and that data replication works as expected.
