RSAOLTP556 - Details

• The SAP error message RSAOLTP556 indicates that there is a name conflict with an InfoSource during an update process. This typically occurs when there are multiple InfoSources with the same name or when an InfoSource is being updated while another process is trying to access or modify it.
  
  Cause:
  
  Name Conflict: The most common cause is that there are two or more InfoSources with the same name in the system, which leads to confusion during the update process.
  Concurrent Updates: If multiple processes are trying to update the same InfoSource simultaneously, it can lead to conflicts.
  Transport Issues: If InfoSources are being transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), there may be conflicts if the same InfoSource exists in both environments.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check for Duplicate InfoSources:
  
  Go to the InfoSource maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1) and check if there are multiple InfoSources with the same name.
  If duplicates exist, consider renaming or deleting the unnecessary ones.
