  • What causes this issue?

    InfoProviders - that is, DataStore objects (ODSO), InfoCubes (CUBE),
    MultiProviders (MPRO), InfoSets (ISET) and InfoObjects (IOBJ)- are all
    in the same namespace.

    System Response

    It is not possible to create an InfoProvider with the name &V1&, because
    an InfoProvider of type &V2& already exists.
    If several InfoProviders with identical names exist from release BW 2.0
    or as a result of a transport, they are processed in the following
    order:
    DataStore object
    InfoCube
    MultiProvider
    InfoObject
    For example: If an InfoCube and an InfoObject have the same name, you
    are only able to construct queries based on the InfoCube as it comes up
    earlier in the sequence.
    In this case, however, you can create a new InfoObject with reference to
    the existing InfoObject and use this to define queries. Another option
    is to create a MultiProvider with only one incoming InfoProvider.

    How to fix this error?

    Choose another name for the InfoProvider.
