This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP BusinessObjects when users attempt to create or save a query that conflicts with an existing one.
  Cause:

  Choose a different name for your new query.
  
  
  
  
  
  Rename Your Query:
  
  When saving your new query, use a unique name that does not conflict with existing queries. Consider adding a version number or a descriptive suffix to differentiate it.
  
  
  
  Use Query Management Tools:
  
  If you are working in a larger environment, consider using query management tools or features within SAP to help you track and manage existing queries more effectively.
