• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MC_VBC_GEOMAP_GEN204 - &1 map objects have the same source and destination; display failed ?

  The SAP error message MC_VBC_GEOMAP_GEN204 indicates that there is an issue with the map objects in a geographic visualization context, specifically that multiple map objects are trying to use the same source and destination coordinates. This can lead to a failure in displaying the map correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Coordinates: The primary cause of this error is that there are multiple entries in your data that have the same source and destination coordinates. This can happen if the data being visualized contains duplicate entries or if the data is not properly filtered or aggregated.
  Data Configuration: The configuration of the data source may not be set up correctly, leading to the same source and destination being used for different map objects.
  Mapping Logic: There may be an issue in the logic that generates the map objects, causing it to create multiple objects with identical properties.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data for Duplicates: Review the data being used for the map visualization. Look for duplicate entries that have the same source and destination. You may need to aggregate or filter the data to ensure that each source-destination pair is unique.
  Modify Data Source: If the data is coming from a specific query or report, modify the query to eliminate duplicates or to group the data appropriately.
  Adjust Mapping Logic: If you have custom logic for generating map objects, review and adjust it to ensure that it does not create multiple objects with the same source and destination.
  Use Aggregation: If applicable, consider using aggregation functions to combine data points that share the same source and destination, thus reducing the number of map objects created.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidance on handling geographic data visualizations and resolving related errors.
