SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SAI_MAPPING - Mapping

• Message number: 218

• Message text: Multiple entries found for resource &1 &2 &3

What causes this issue?

The resource &V1& in the software component version &V2& (SP &V3&)
cannot be loaded because it occurs in the following namespaces: &V4&.
The system first searches for the resource in the namespace of the
relevant mapping step. If the resource is not found there, the system
searches again in all namespaces of the software component version.
Resource names are only unique within a namespace. Therefore, the second
search may find multiple resources with the same name.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
