What causes this issue?

The table keys &V1& and &V2& are unique and the components of &V2& are
an initial part (SORTED) or a subset (HASHED) of &V1&. Check whether
&V1& can be removed.
INCLUDE INCL_MIGRATION_SCENARIO
Since both keys have the same access semantics but key &V2& has fewer
components, access with &V2& provides better performance. Check whether
the redundant keys were created in a migration scenario and whether one
of the two keys can be removed.
