• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_ES_DSCR007 - (Re-)generation of scrambling data not possible (mapping already created) ?

  The SAP error message LTR2_ES_DSCR007 indicates that there is an issue with the (re-)generation of scrambling data because a mapping has already been created. This error typically occurs in the context of data scrambling or data anonymization processes within SAP systems, particularly when using the SAP Data Scrambling Tool.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to regenerate scrambling data for a dataset that already has an existing mapping. This means that the system has already established a relationship between the original data and the scrambled data, and it does not allow for a new mapping to be created without first removing or modifying the existing one.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Mappings: Review the existing mappings in the Data Scrambling Tool to confirm that a mapping already exists for the dataset you are trying to regenerate.
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Mapping:
  
  If you want to regenerate the scrambling data, you may need to delete the existing mapping. This can usually be done through the Data Scrambling Tool interface.
  Alternatively, if you need to keep the existing mapping, consider modifying it instead of regenerating it.
  
  
  
  Regenerate Scrambling Data: Once the existing mapping has been deleted or modified, you can proceed to regenerate the scrambling data.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the steps or the implications of deleting a mapping, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to the Data Scrambling Tool for detailed guidance.
  
  
  Backup Data: Before making changes, ensure that you have a backup of your data to prevent any loss during the process.
