  The SAP error message RAP_SERVICES_VALID011 indicates that there is a problem with the uniqueness of the external action result name in the context of the RAP (Rapid Application Programming) model. This error typically arises when you have defined multiple actions or results with the same name in your RAP service definition, which violates the requirement for unique identifiers.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Action Names: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple actions defined in your RAP service with the same name.
  Inconsistent Naming: If you have defined actions in different contexts (e.g., different entities or service definitions) but used the same name, it can lead to this error.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Action Definitions: Review the action definitions in your RAP service. Ensure that each action has a unique name. If you find duplicates, rename them to ensure uniqueness.
  
  
  Review Service Definitions: If you have multiple service definitions, check that the action names are not conflicting across these definitions.
  
  
  Update the Service: After making changes to the action names, regenerate the service and activate it again to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Test the Service: After resolving the naming conflicts, test the service to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the actions behave as expected.
