• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_LOG011 - Duplicate key found in the runtime table ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_LOG011 Duplicate key found in the runtime table typically indicates that there is an issue with duplicate entries in a runtime table related to authorization logging in the SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module. This can occur when the system attempts to insert a new entry into a table that already contains a record with the same key.
  Cause:
  
  Data Integrity Issues: The most common cause is that there are duplicate entries in the underlying database table that the system is trying to access or update.
