• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SKWF_TRANSPORT121 - Duplicates of node &1 (GUID &2) in other transports. Edit manually. ?

  The SAP error message SKWF_TRANSPORT121 indicates that there are duplicate entries for a specific node in the transport request. This typically occurs when the same object (in this case, a workflow node) is included in multiple transport requests, which can lead to conflicts during the transport process.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Objects: The same workflow node (identified by its GUID) is included in more than one transport request.
  Transport Request Overlap: If multiple developers are working on the same object and create separate transport requests, this can lead to duplication.
  Manual Changes: If changes are made manually to the workflow or its nodes, it can result in duplicates being created unintentionally.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SKWF_TRANSPORT121 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:
  
  Use transaction code SE01 or SE09 to check the transport requests and identify where the duplicate nodes are located.
  Look for the GUID mentioned in the error message to find the specific transport requests that contain the duplicate node.
  
  
  
  Edit Transport Requests:
  
  You may need to manually edit the transport requests to remove the duplicate entries. This can be done by:
  
  Opening the transport request in SE01 or SE09.
  Removing the duplicate node from one of the transport requests.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consolidate Changes:
  
  If possible, consolidate the changes into a single transport request to avoid future conflicts. This can be done by adding all necessary objects to one transport request instead of creating multiple requests.
  
  
  
  Re-transport:
  
  After resolving the duplicates, you can re-attempt the transport process. Ensure that the transport requests are in the correct sequence and that there are no further conflicts.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the transport is successful, test the workflow in the target system to ensure that everything is functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works can help prevent such issues in the future. Proper planning and coordination among developers can minimize the chances of duplicate entries.
  Workflow Management: Familiarity with how workflows are structured and managed in SAP can help in identifying potential issues early in the development process.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or solutions related to this error message.
