• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_ES_CHECK085 - Target data model '&1' exists (position '&2') ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_ES_CHECK085 indicates that there is an issue with the target data model in the context of SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or Data Replication. Specifically, the error message states that the target data model specified (denoted as &1) already exists at the specified position (denoted as &2). This typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a data model that conflicts with an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Data Model: The target data model you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model settings or parameters that leads to this conflict.
  Previous Operations: An earlier operation may have created the data model, and the system is preventing the creation of a duplicate.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Data Models: 
  
  Use transaction codes like LTRC (for SLT configuration) or relevant data model management transactions to check if the target data model already exists.
  If it does exist, you may need to either modify the existing model or delete it if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Modify the Data Model:
  
  If you need to change the existing data model, ensure that you are making the necessary adjustments rather than trying to create a new one.
  
  
  
  Delete Unused Models:
  
  If the existing data model is not required, you can delete it to resolve the conflict. Be cautious with this step, as it may affect data replication processes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to SLT and data modeling for any specific guidelines or best practices that may apply to your situation.
