  The SAP error message RSDME103 indicates that you are trying to create or modify a model (such as a data model or a query) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA that already exists with the same name. This error typically occurs when you attempt to create a new object with a name that is already in use within the same namespace.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Name: The most common cause of this error is that you are trying to create a new model or object with a name that is already assigned to another model or object in the system.
  Namespace Conflicts: If you are working in a shared environment or a development system, it is possible that another developer has already created an object with the same name.

  Solution:
  
  Choose a Different Name: The simplest solution is to choose a different, unique name for your model or object. Ensure that the new name adheres to any naming conventions used in your organization.
  Check Existing Models: Before creating a new model, check the existing models in the system to see if the name you want to use is already taken. You can do this by navigating to the relevant area in the SAP GUI or using transaction codes like RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) or RSRT (Query Monitor).
  Delete or Rename Existing Model: If the existing model is no longer needed, you can delete it or rename it to free up the name. Be cautious with this approach, as it may affect other users or processes.
  Consult with Team Members: If you are working in a team environment, consult with your colleagues to ensure that the name you want to use is not already in use or planned for future use.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more details on naming conventions and best practices for creating models in SAP BW or SAP HANA.
