  Solution:
  To resolve the IFME_TREE_CHECK019 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:
  
  Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to search for the enumeration names that are causing the conflict.

  If you are unsure which enumeration to keep, consult with your team or check the usage of these enumerations in your application.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the duplicates were introduced through a transport request, review the request to ensure that it does not contain conflicting definitions.
  You may need to adjust the transport request or coordinate with the team responsible for the conflicting objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the application or functionality that was causing the error to ensure that the issue is resolved.
