  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LTR2_UI502 - Invalid new name for &1 &2. ?

    The SAP error message LTR2_UI502 with the description "Invalid new name for &1 &2" typically occurs in the context of the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) Replication Server or when dealing with data replication and transformation tasks. This error indicates that there is an issue with the naming convention or the new name being assigned to an object (like a table or field) during a replication or transformation process.

    Cause:

    1. Invalid Naming Convention: The new name being assigned does not adhere to the naming conventions defined in SAP. This could include issues like:

      • Length of the name exceeding the maximum allowed characters.
      • Use of special characters that are not permitted.
      • Starting the name with a number or using reserved keywords.
    2. Duplicate Names: The new name might already be in use within the system, leading to conflicts.

    3. Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the SLT settings or the transformation rules that are causing the error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Naming Conventions: Ensure that the new name you are trying to assign follows the SAP naming conventions:

      • Typically, names should be alphanumeric and can include underscores.
      • Ensure the name does not exceed the character limit (usually 30 characters for table names).
    2. Avoid Duplicates: Verify that the new name is not already in use. You can do this by checking the existing objects in the database.

    3. Review Transformation Rules: If you are using transformation rules, review them to ensure that they are correctly defined and do not lead to invalid names.

    4. Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for SLT or the specific module you are working with to understand the naming conventions and restrictions.

    5. Error Logs: Check the SLT error logs for more detailed information about the error. This can provide insights into what specifically is causing the issue.
