• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LRM_BS092 - Mapping of ILM object -> data destruction object &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message LRM_BS092 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of an Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) object to a data destruction object. Specifically, it means that the mapping you are trying to create already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you attempt to create a mapping between an ILM object and a data destruction object that has already been defined in the system. This can happen if:
  
  You are trying to create a duplicate mapping.
  There is a configuration error where the same mapping is being referenced multiple times.
  The system has not been updated correctly after a previous mapping was created or deleted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Mappings:
  
  Go to the ILM configuration in your SAP system and check the existing mappings for the ILM object and the data destruction object.
  You can use transaction codes like ILM or SARA to navigate to the ILM settings and view the mappings.
  
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:
  
  Look for any existing entries that match the ILM object and data destruction object you are trying to map. If you find a duplicate, you may need to modify or delete the existing mapping.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Existing Mapping:
  
  If you find that the mapping already exists and is correct, you may not need to create a new one.
  If the existing mapping is incorrect or no longer needed, you can delete it or modify it as necessary.
  
  
  
  Create New Mapping:
  
  If you have confirmed that there are no duplicates and the mapping is valid, you can proceed to create the new mapping again.
  
  
  
  Check for System Updates:
  
  Ensure that your SAP system is up to date and that there are no pending updates that could affect the ILM configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on ILM object mappings and data destruction objects.
