  • 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.
