• Message text: Software component &1 already existed or exists in another system/client

What causes this issue?

A software component 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 software component or rename an existing software
component the combination of the internal and the external key is stored
on the GTABKEY-server to assure that a software component has the same
internal key in different systems.
During the creation of software component &v1& it was detected that
there is already an according entry on the GTABKEY-server.
This means either that
a software component with the name &v1& already exists in at least one
other system/client (e.g. in a lower release) or
that in this or in another system/client a software component with the
name &v1& had and was deleted.

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 software component &v1& is the
same as the other software components that exist in other
systems/clients.
