• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDESK_PIO_IF016 - Connection to CAD &1 on workstation &2 is already in use ?

  The SAP error message EDESK_PIO_IF016 indicates that there is an issue with the connection to a CAD system from a workstation. Specifically, it means that the connection to the CAD system (identified as &1) on the specified workstation (identified as &2) is already in use. This can occur in environments where multiple users or processes are trying to access the same CAD system simultaneously.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Verify if there are any active sessions on the CAD system from the specified workstation. If so, close any unnecessary sessions.

  Check User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the CAD system and that there are no security policies preventing the connection.
