• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STOR726 - Content repository &1 has already been assigned to another origin ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STOR726 indicates that a content repository is already assigned to another origin, which means that the system is trying to assign a content repository that is already in use by a different application or system component. This typically occurs in the context of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) when configuring content repositories for archiving or data storage.
  Cause:
  
  Content Repository Already Assigned: The content repository you are trying to assign is already linked to another origin (e.g., another application or system).

  Identify which origin is currently using the content repository.
  
  
  
  Reassign or Create a New Content Repository:
  
  If the content repository is indeed needed for another origin, consider creating a new content repository specifically for the current origin you are trying to configure.
  If the existing assignment is no longer needed, you can remove the assignment from the other origin and then assign it to the desired origin.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the configuration for the content repository and the origins is correct and aligns with your business requirements.
  Check for any documentation or guidelines provided by SAP regarding the configuration of content repositories.
