How To Fix ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2618 - Object type &1 is equivalent to object type &2 in another system/client

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2 - Object Model Repository (2)

• Message number: 618

• Message text: Object type &1 is equivalent to object type &2 in another system/client

What causes this issue?

An object type has an internal key (which is a GUID) and an external key
(its name you can see in the Enterprise Search Modeler), When you create
a new object type or rename an existing object type the combination of
the internal and the external key is stored on the GTABKEY-server to
assure that an object type has the same internal key in different
systems.
During the creation of object type &v1& in software component &v3& it
was detected that there is already an according entry on the
GTABKEY-server with the same internal key and the external key &v2&.
This means either that
an object type with the name &v2& exists in software component &v3& in
at least one other system/client (e.g. in a lower release) or
that in this or in another system/client an object type with the name
&v2& had existed in software component &v3& and was deleted.
Object type &v2& has been renamed from object type &v1& but is
semantically the same.

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?

Please be aware that in case 1. the new object type &v1& is the same as
the other object types named &v2& that exist in other systems/clients.
