• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E7088 - Connection object is already created with key &1 ?

  The SAP error message E7088, which states "Connection object is already created with key &1," typically occurs when there is an attempt to create a connection object in SAP that already exists with the specified key. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when working with database connections, RFC connections, or other types of connection objects.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Connection Creation: The error is primarily caused by trying to create a connection object that has already been defined in the system with the same key.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings where the same connection is being referenced multiple times.
  Code Logic: In custom ABAP code, there might be logic that attempts to create a connection without checking if it already exists.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Connections: Before creating a new connection object, check if a connection with the same key already exists. You can do this by querying the relevant tables or using transaction codes like SM59 for RFC connections.
  Modify Code Logic: If the error is occurring in custom ABAP code, modify the logic to ensure that it checks for the existence of the connection before attempting to create it. Use appropriate checks to avoid duplicate creation.
  Delete or Modify Existing Connection: If the existing connection is no longer needed, consider deleting it or modifying it to suit your requirements.
  Review Configuration: Ensure that your configuration settings do not inadvertently create duplicate connections. This may involve reviewing settings in transaction codes related to connection management.
