This error indicates that a parameter you are trying to create or define already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Parameter Definition: The most common cause of this error is that you are attempting to create a parameter that has already been defined in the system. This can happen if you are trying to add a new parameter with the same name as an existing one.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Parameters: 
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP where parameters are defined (e.g., ESH configuration).
  Look for the parameter name indicated by &1 in the error message. If it exists, you may need to modify or delete it before creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Rename the Parameter: If you need to create a new parameter and the name is already in use, consider using a different name that does not conflict with existing parameters.
  
  
  Review Configuration: 
  
  Ensure that your configuration settings are correct and that there are no unintended duplicates.
  If you are working with transports, check the transport requests to ensure that they do not contain conflicting definitions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on managing parameters in the specific context you are working with (e.g., ESH).
