• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EC362 - Rename all titles (for example &1) first ?

  The SAP error message EC362 ("Rename all titles (for example &1) first") typically occurs in the context of SAP's transport management system or when dealing with objects that have titles or descriptions that need to be unique or properly defined before certain actions can be taken, such as deleting or renaming objects.
  Cause:
  
  Object Dependencies: The error usually arises when there are objects (like programs, function modules, or other repository objects) that have titles or descriptions that are still linked to the object you are trying to rename or delete.
  Incomplete Title Changes: If you are attempting to rename an object but have not updated all related titles or descriptions, SAP will prevent the action until all titles are properly renamed.
  Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, it may also require that all related titles be consistent before the transport can be released or modified.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Related Titles: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to find all related objects and their titles. Look for any titles that need to be updated.
  Rename Titles: Go through each related object and rename the titles as necessary. Ensure that all titles are unique and do not conflict with existing titles.
  Check Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that all changes are included in the request and that the request is properly released.
  Consistency Check: After renaming, perform a consistency check to ensure that all titles are correctly updated and that there are no remaining dependencies.
  Retry the Action: Once all titles have been renamed and updated, retry the action that triggered the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SE09/SE10 (Transport Organizer) for managing objects and transport requests.
