• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GR597 - The page on the far right is already being displayed ?

  The SAP error message GR597, which states "The page on the far right is already being displayed," typically occurs in the context of SAP GUI when a user attempts to navigate to a tab or page that is already open in the current session. This can happen in various SAP transactions where multiple tabs or pages can be opened.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Navigation: The user is trying to open a page or tab that is already active in the SAP GUI.
  Session Management: SAP GUI has a limitation on how many instances of the same transaction can be opened simultaneously.
  User Interface Behavior: The SAP GUI is designed to prevent users from opening the same page multiple times to avoid confusion and maintain a clean user interface.
  
  Solution:
  
  Switch to the Existing Tab: Instead of trying to open the page again, switch to the tab that is already open. You can do this by clicking on the tab at the top of the SAP GUI window.
  Close Unused Tabs: If you have multiple tabs open and are not using them, consider closing the ones you do not need to reduce clutter.
  Use Transaction Codes: If you need to access the same transaction, consider using a different transaction code or variant that does not lead to the same page.
  Refresh the Session: If you believe this is an error, try refreshing the session or logging out and back in to reset the GUI state.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP GUI Version: Ensure you are using a compatible version of SAP GUI, as older versions may have different behaviors.
