  Solution:
  To resolve the SCPR801 error, you can take the following steps:

  Choose a Different Name:
  
  If the name is already in use, select a different, unique name for your new BC Set.
  Ensure that the new name follows the naming conventions and is meaningful for your configuration.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing BC Set:

  Delete or Rename Existing BC Set (if applicable):
  
  If the existing BC Set is no longer needed, you can consider deleting it or renaming it to free up the name for your new BC Set. Be cautious with this approach, as it may affect other configurations or transports.
