• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EZ153 - Application form &1 was renamed as &2 ?

  The SAP error message EZ153 indicates that an application form (typically a form used in SAPscript or Smart Forms) has been renamed. This message usually occurs when there is a change in the naming convention or when a form is being referenced in a way that does not match its current name.
  Cause:
  
  Renaming of Forms: The application form that was previously used has been renamed to a new name. This could happen due to a change in business requirements or a reorganization of forms.
  Configuration Issues: The system might still be referencing the old name of the form in some configuration settings, such as in print programs or output types.
  Transport Issues: If forms are transported between different SAP systems (e.g., from development to production), the renaming might not have been properly handled.
  
  Solution:
  
  Update References: Check all configurations, print programs, and output types that reference the old form name and update them to use the new form name.
  Check Transport Requests: If the form was transported, ensure that the transport request included all necessary changes and that the form is correctly named in the target system.
  Review Documentation: If the renaming was part of a project or change request, review the documentation to understand the reason for the change and ensure all stakeholders are aware of the new naming conventions.
