  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EZ760 - &1 &2 exists and must not be overwritten ?

    The SAP error message EZ760 typically indicates that there is an attempt to overwrite an existing object (like a transport request, program, or other development object) that is not allowed because it already exists in the system. This error is often encountered during transport management or when trying to create or modify objects in the SAP system.

    Cause:

    1. Existing Object: The object you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system with the same name or identifier.
    2. Transport Request Issues: If you are working with transport requests, the request may already contain the object you are trying to add or modify.
    3. Development Class Conflicts: If the object belongs to a development class that has restrictions on overwriting existing objects, this error may occur.

    Solution:

    1. Check Existing Objects: Verify if the object you are trying to create or modify already exists. You can do this by searching for the object in the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for objects, SE11 for database tables, etc.).
    2. Use a Different Name: If you are creating a new object, consider using a different name or identifier that does not conflict with existing objects.
    3. Modify Existing Object: If you need to change the existing object, open it for editing instead of trying to create a new one.
    4. Transport Request Management: If the issue is related to transport requests, ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and does not already contain the object you are trying to add.
    5. Check Development Class: If applicable, check the development class settings to see if there are restrictions on overwriting objects.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), and SE09/SE10 (Transport Organizer) to manage and investigate objects and transport requests.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific patches or updates related to this error message, as there may be known issues or fixes provided by SAP.
    • Authorization Issues: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify the object in question, as lack of permissions can sometimes lead to similar error messages.

    If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or development team for further assistance, as they may have more insights into the specific configuration and setup of your SAP environment.
