• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY014 - The components of the keys &1 and &2 are identical ?

  The SAP error message SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY014 indicates that there is a redundancy in the keys being used in a particular context, meaning that the components of the two keys specified in the error message are identical.
