How To Fix DU253 - &2 is used as the sender structure name instead of &1 (see long text)

DU253 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DU - Data transfer to SAP-EIS

• Message number: 253

• Message text: &2 is used as the sender structure name instead of &1 (see long text)

What causes this issue?

The name of the sender structure &v1& is too long. Up to Release 3.1i,
sender structure names could have a maximum of 8 letters. For reasons
of compatibility, only 8-character long sender structure names could be
used for transfers between different systems. Since
generically-generated sender structure names usually do not differ in
their first 8 letters, the last 8 letters are used.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

In the receiver system, use Transaction OKCC to change sender structure
name &v1& to &v2&. It may be possible to choose another, shorter sender
structure name in both systems.
