• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060041 - A file name has already been specified for system '&'. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060041 indicates that there is an issue with the file name specification in the context of the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) in SAP. This error typically occurs when you are trying to define a file name for a data upload or migration process, and the system detects that a file name has already been specified for the same system.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate File Name Specification: You may have already specified a file name for the same system in the LSMW project, and you are attempting to specify it again.
  Incorrect Configuration: There might be a misconfiguration in the LSMW settings or the project setup that leads to this error.
  Multiple Sessions: If you have multiple sessions open and are trying to perform the same action in different sessions, it can lead to conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing File Name:
  
  Go to the LSMW project and check if a file name has already been specified for the system in question. If it has, you may need to either use that file or change the name to something unique.
  
  
  
  Modify the File Name:
  
  If you need to specify a different file name, ensure that you are doing so in the correct place and that it does not conflict with any existing entries.
  
  
  
  Clear Duplicate Entries:
  
  If you find that there are duplicate entries, remove or correct them to ensure that only one file name is specified for the system.
  
  
  
  Restart the Session:
  
  If you suspect that the issue is due to multiple sessions, try closing all sessions and restarting the LSMW transaction.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that there are no locks on the LSMW project that might be causing this issue. You can check for locks in transaction SM12.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Consult the SAP documentation or help resources for LSMW to ensure that you are following the correct procedures for file name specification.
