How To Fix R9170 - Component &1 has UID &2 and UID &3 in remote systems

R9170 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: R9 - Business Explorer

• Message number: 170

• Message text: Component &1 has UID &2 and UID &3 in remote systems

What causes this issue?

Within the BI Content system landscape, the system checks whether a quer
y component with the same technical name already exists in another
system and whether it uses the same UID.
In this case, it was found that technical name &V1& exists in several sy
stems; the technical name occurs with both UID &V2& and UID &V3&.

This situation is not permitted; the save process was terminated.

How to fix this error?

In the source systems (all systems for which destination BEX_UID_LOOKUP_
* has been maintained in SM59), examine why an object exists with a
technical name and multiple UIDs. In most cases, this is caused when an
object is developed in different systems in parallel and no uniform
naming convention is used.
If possible, delete the component with the name &V1& in one system and r
ecreate it. The system receives the same name as long as it is in the
system group.
Alternatively, you can save your component with a different technical na
me.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R9170 - Component &1 has UID &2 and UID &3 in remote systems ?

  The SAP error message R9170 indicates that there is a conflict with the Unique Identifiers (UIDs) of a component in remote systems. This typically occurs in scenarios involving system landscapes where components are replicated or synchronized across different systems, such as in a distributed environment or during system migrations.
  
  Cause:
  The error message R9170 is triggered when the same component is identified by different UIDs in different systems. This can happen due to:
  
  Inconsistent Configuration: The component may have been configured differently in the source and target systems, leading to mismatched UIDs.
  Transport Issues: If transports are not correctly imported or if there are issues during the transport process, it can lead to discrepancies in component UIDs.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes made to the component in one system without corresponding changes in the other systems can lead to UID conflicts.
  System Copy or Migration: During system copies or migrations, if the UIDs are not properly adjusted,
