• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_CLOUD_MSG021 - Import stopped. Already imported requests would be re-imported (&1). ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_CLOUD_MSG021 indicates that an import process has been stopped because there are already imported requests that would be re-imported. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Cloud Transport Management, where transport requests are managed and imported into different systems.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Transport Requests: The error usually arises when the system detects that the transport request you are trying to import has already been imported into the target system. This can happen if:
  
  The same transport request was previously imported.
  There are multiple attempts to import the same request due to miscommunication or errors in the transport management process.
  
  
  
  Transport Sequence Issues: If the transport requests are not sequenced correctly, it may lead to attempts to re-import requests that have already been processed.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the transport management system that lead to incorrect handling of transport requests.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transport Logs: Review the transport logs to identify which requests have already been imported. This can help you confirm whether the request is indeed a duplicate.
  
  
  Avoid Re-importing: If the request has already been imported successfully, you can skip the import of that request. Ensure that you are only importing new or modified requests.
  
  
  Adjust Transport Sequence: If the transport requests are part of a sequence, ensure that they are imported in the correct order. You may need to adjust the sequence of imports to avoid conflicts.
  
  
  Delete or Reset Transport Request: If you need to re-import a request for some reason (e.g., it was not imported correctly), you may need to delete the existing import record or reset the transport request status. Be cautious with this approach, as it may have implications for your system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to transport management for specific guidance on handling this error.
