• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KC064 - View $ already exists in database ?

  The SAP error message KC064 indicates that a view with the specified name already exists in the database. This typically occurs when you are trying to create a database view that has the same name as an existing one, which is not allowed in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate View Name: The most common cause is that you are attempting to create a view that already exists in the database.
  Previous Incomplete Deletion: If a previous attempt to delete or modify the view was unsuccessful, the view may still exist.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting objects between systems, the view may already exist in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Views: Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the view already exists. If it does, you may need to modify it instead of creating a new one.
  Delete the Existing View: If the existing view is no longer needed, you can delete it using transaction SE11. Make sure to check dependencies before deletion.
  Rename the New View: If you need to keep both views, consider renaming the new view to avoid the conflict.
  Check Transport Requests: If this issue arises during a transport, ensure that the transport does not contain conflicting objects. You may need to adjust the transport request.
  Database Cleanup: In some cases, you may need to perform a database cleanup or check for inconsistencies in the database.
