• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NSDM_MIG_CONTROL029 - Migration run is named &1 ?

  The SAP error message NSDM_MIG_CONTROL029 indicates that a migration run with the specified name already exists. This typically occurs during data migration processes, such as when using the SAP Data Migration Cockpit or other migration tools, and it suggests that the system is trying to create a new migration run with a name that is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Migration Run Name: The most common cause is that a migration run with the same name has already been created in the system. This can happen if the user attempts to start a new migration run without changing the name or if there was a previous migration run that was not properly completed or deleted.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Use a Unique Migration Run Name: When starting a new migration run, ensure that you provide a unique name that does not conflict with existing migration runs. This can be done by appending a timestamp or a unique identifier to the migration run name.
  
  
  Check Existing Migration Runs: Before creating a new migration run, check the list of existing migration runs to see if the name you intend to use is already taken. You can do this through the relevant transaction or application in SAP.
  
  
  Delete or Archive Old Migration Runs: If the existing migration run is no longer needed, consider deleting or archiving it to free up the name for new use. Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform this action.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or migration guides specific to the tool you are using for any additional steps or best practices regarding naming conventions for migration runs.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the migration tool you are using, you may need to use specific transaction codes to manage migration runs (e.g., LTMC for the Migration Cockpit).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to migration runs and error messages. This can provide additional context or solutions.
  Support: If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, especially if this is part of a larger migration project.
