• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 622

• Message text: Common attribute &1 already existed or exists in another system/client

What causes this issue?

A common attribute 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 common attribute or rename an existing common attribute the
combination of the internal and the external key is stored on the
GTABKEY-server to assure that a common attribute has the same internal
key in different systems.
During the creation of common attribute &v1& it was detected that there
is already an according entry on the GTABKEY-server.
This means either that
a common attribute 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 common attribute 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 common attribute &v1& is the
same as the other common attributes that exist in other systems/clients.
