This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with replication tasks or scheduled jobs in SAP systems.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Task Creation: The error usually arises when a task with the same name or identifier is already scheduled in the system. This can happen if:
  
  A previous task was not properly completed or was left in a running state.

  Review System Logs: 
  
  Check the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about why the task is being duplicated.
