• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E7470 - More than one owner allocated to connection object &1 on &2 ?

  The SAP error message E7470, which states "More than one owner allocated to connection object &1 on &2," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when there is a conflict in the ownership of a connection object. This can happen when multiple users or processes are trying to access or modify the same connection object, leading to inconsistencies in ownership.
  Cause:
  
  
  Multiple Owners: The primary cause of this error is that the connection object (like a data source, InfoProvider, or similar) has been assigned to more than one owner. This can happen due to:
  
  Manual changes in the system where multiple users are trying to assign ownership.
  System inconsistencies or bugs that lead to incorrect ownership assignments.
  Migration or transport issues where the ownership information is not correctly transferred.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Sometimes, configuration settings in the BW or HANA system can lead to this error, especially if there are custom developments or modifications.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Ownership: 
  
  Use transaction codes like RSA1 (for BW) or relevant HANA tools to check the ownership of the connection object.
  Identify all the owners assigned to the connection object and determine which one should be the valid owner.
  
  
  
  Reassign Ownership:
  
  If you find multiple owners, you may need to reassign the ownership to a single user or process. This can typically be done through the administration interface or by using specific transaction codes.
  Ensure that the ownership is consistent and that no other processes are trying to modify it simultaneously.
  
  
  
  System Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks in the BW or HANA system to identify any other potential issues that may be causing this error.
  Use tools like RS_CHECK or similar to validate the integrity of the objects.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings related to the connection object.
  You may need to re-transport the object or manually correct the ownership in the target system.
