• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_ES_CHECK078 - Source business object '&1' exists ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_ES_CHECK078 indicates that there is an issue related to the existence of a source business object in the context of a data transfer or data replication process. This error typically arises in scenarios involving SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or data replication setups.
  Cause:
  The error message LTR2_ES_CHECK078 is triggered when the system detects that a source business object (e.g., a table or a view) that you are trying to work with already exists in the target system or in the context of the operation you are performing. This can happen due to:
  
  Duplicate Configuration: The source object has already been configured for replication or transformation.
  Incorrect Object Name: The name of the source business object may have been incorrectly specified, leading to confusion in the system.
  Previous Replication Attempts: There may have been previous attempts to replicate the same object that were not properly cleaned up.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Configurations:
  
  Verify if the source business object is already configured in the SLT system. You can do this by checking the configuration settings in the SLT configuration transaction (usually transaction code LTRC).
  
  
  
  Remove Duplicate Entries:
  
  If you find that the source object is already configured and you do not need it, you can remove the existing configuration for that object. Be cautious with this step to avoid losing necessary data or configurations.
  
  
  
  Correct Object Name:
  
  Ensure that the name of the source business object you are trying to configure is correct. Check for any typos or discrepancies in naming conventions.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Replication:
  
  If the object is actively being replicated, you may need to stop the replication process before making changes to the configuration.
