  The SAP error message MC133 typically indicates that there is an issue with a database index that already exists in a specific table. This error can occur during various operations, such as data uploads, updates, or during the execution of certain transactions.
  Cause:
  The error message MC133 usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Index: The system is trying to create an index that already exists in the database table.

  Adjust Transport Requests:
  
  If the error occurred after a transport, check the transport request for any inconsistencies.
  Ensure that the transport did not include an index creation that conflicts with existing indexes.
  
  
  
  Database Consistency Check:
