• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_GITHUB_API009 - A pull request already exists for &1:&2. ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_GITHUB_API009 indicates that there is already an existing pull request for the specified repository and branch combination in GitHub. This error typically occurs when you attempt to create a new pull request for a branch that already has an open pull request.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the system detects an existing pull request for the same source branch and target branch in the GitHub repository. This can happen if:
  
  A pull request was previously created and not yet merged or closed.
  Multiple users are trying to create pull requests for the same branch simultaneously.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Pull Requests:
  
  Go to the GitHub repository in question.
  Navigate to the "Pull Requests" tab.
  Look for any open pull requests that match the source and target branches you are trying to use.
  
  
  
  Review the Existing Pull Request:
  
  If you find an existing pull request, review its status. If it is still open, you may need to wait for it to be merged or closed before you can create a new one.
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can also comment on or update the existing pull request instead of creating a new one.
  
  
  
  Close or Merge the Existing Pull Request:
  
  If the existing pull request is no longer needed, you can close it.
  If it is ready to be merged, you can proceed with merging it.
  
  
  
  Create a New Pull Request:
  
  Once the existing pull request is resolved (either merged or closed), you can attempt to create your new pull request again.
