  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/RESOLVE_ID_DB001 - ID & is already activated with TDC ID & ?

    The SAP error message /SMB/RESOLVE_ID_DB001 ID & is already activated with TDC ID & typically indicates that there is an issue with the activation of a specific ID in the SAP system, particularly in the context of the SAP Business One or SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) environments. This error suggests that the ID you are trying to activate is already associated with another TDC (Technical Data Container) ID.

    Cause:

    1. Duplicate Activation: The ID you are trying to activate is already activated with a different TDC ID. This can happen if the same ID is being used in multiple contexts or if there was an attempt to activate it again without deactivating the previous instance.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that are causing the ID to be recognized as already activated.
    3. Data Consistency Issues: There could be inconsistencies in the database or metadata that lead to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Existing Activations: Verify the current activations of the ID in question. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or using transaction codes that allow you to view activated IDs and their associated TDCs.
    2. Deactivate Previous Activation: If you find that the ID is indeed activated with a different TDC, you may need to deactivate that activation before proceeding with the new activation. This can usually be done through the relevant transaction or configuration settings.
    3. Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources specific to your version of SAP for detailed steps on managing IDs and TDCs.
    4. System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may help clear temporary issues or locks that are causing the error.
    5. Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide more specific guidance based on your system configuration and the context of the error.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes that can help you manage TDCs and IDs, such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), or specific transaction codes related to your SAP module.
