• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PROXY_ADT_COMMON002 - Object &1 already exists ?

  The SAP error message PROXY_ADT_COMMON002 with the description "Object &1 already exists" typically occurs when you are trying to create a new object (like a proxy, service, or other development object) in the SAP system, but an object with the same name or identifier already exists in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Object Name: The most common cause is that you are attempting to create an object (e.g., a proxy class, service definition, etc.) with a name that is already in use.
  Transport Issues: Sometimes, if you are working in a transport environment, an object may exist in a different transport request or client.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a shared development environment, another developer may have already created the object.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Objects: 
  
  Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the object name you are trying to create. Ensure that it does not already exist.
  You can also use transaction SE37 (Function Module) or SE24 (Class Builder) depending on the type of object you are trying to create.
  
  
  
  Rename the Object: If you find that the object already exists and you need to create a new one, consider renaming your new object to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  Delete or Modify Existing Object: If the existing object is no longer needed, you may consider deleting it or modifying it as per your requirements. Be cautious with this approach, especially in a production environment.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If you suspect that the object exists in a different transport request, check the transport logs or consult with your transport administrator.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the object’s purpose or usage, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your team members.
