• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_HOT028 - Package exists with different case in the HTA repository ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_HOT028 indicates that there is a package in the Hot Package Transport (HTA) repository that exists with a different case (uppercase/lowercase) than what is expected. This can lead to issues in transport management and package handling within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the case sensitivity of package names in the SAP system. In some environments, especially those that are case-sensitive (like certain UNIX/Linux systems), having two packages with names that differ only in case can lead to conflicts. For example, if you have a package named MY_PACKAGE and another named my_package, the system may not be able to distinguish between them properly.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Conflicting Packages:
  
  Use transaction code SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE03 (Transport Organizer) to check the packages in the HTA repository.
  Look for packages that have similar names differing only by case.
  
  
  
  Rename or Delete the Conflicting Package:
  
  If you find a package that is causing the conflict, you can either rename it to ensure that it does not conflict with the other package or delete it if it is not needed.
  To rename a package, you can use transaction SE01 (Transport Organizer) or SE03 to manage the transport requests.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transport Requests:
  
  Ensure that any transport requests that reference the conflicting packages are updated to reflect the correct package name.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  If the package is being used in other development objects or transport requests, ensure that you handle those dependencies appropriately.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transport process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
