RMSRCP290 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RMSRCP - RMS-RCP: Messages for IPPE Object RCP

• Message number: 290

• Message text: Scope of application &1 already exists in the target system

What causes this issue?

The update indicator "I" (= insert) is used in recipe distribution.
When you distribute the scope of application, the system checks whether
the scope of application already exists before it transfers the data.
Since the scope of application to be distributed already exists in the
target system, no data is transferred.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

Since the scope of application already exists in the target system, the
distribution can be performed in the update mode only.
You only need to change the value of the update indicator in the
structure of the general recipe to "U". You do not need to set the
update indicator in lower-level structures.
