• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FM_DC001 - Requested view already displayed ?

  The SAP error message FM_DC001: Requested view already displayed typically occurs when a user attempts to open a view or transaction that is already active or displayed in the SAP GUI. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when a user tries to open the same transaction multiple times or when a session is already displaying the requested view.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Instances: The user is trying to open the same transaction or view in a new session while it is already open in another session.
  Session Management: SAP restricts the opening of the same view to prevent confusion and data inconsistency.
  User Interface Behavior: Some transactions are designed to allow only one instance to be open at a time.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to the Existing Session: Instead of trying to open a new session, switch to the session where the view is already open. You can do this by navigating through the session tabs in the SAP GUI.
  Close the Existing View: If you no longer need the existing view, close it and then try to open the transaction again.
  Use Transaction Codes: If you are using a shortcut or a menu path, try using the transaction code directly in the command field to see if it behaves differently.
  Check for Background Processes: Sometimes, background processes or jobs may be holding onto a session. Ensure that no background jobs are running that might be causing this issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP GUI Sessions: Familiarize yourself with how to manage sessions in SAP GUI. You can have multiple sessions open, but they cannot display the same view simultaneously.
  Transaction Codes: Knowing the transaction codes can help you navigate more efficiently and avoid opening the same view inadvertently.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes or the SAP Support Portal for any specific notes related to this error message, as there may be updates or patches that address this issue.
