• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOI195 - View &1 exists on database ?

  The SAP error message SOI195 indicates that a view (in this case, represented by &1) already exists in the database. This typically occurs when you are trying to create a view that has the same name as an existing one, which leads to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate View Name: The most common cause of this error is that you are attempting to create a database view with a name that already exists in the database.
  Previous Creation Attempt: If a previous attempt to create the view failed or was interrupted, the view might still exist in the database.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting objects between systems, the view might have been transported already.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Views: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility) to check if the view already exists. You can also use SQL queries to check the database directly.
  Drop the Existing View: If the existing view is no longer needed, you can drop it using the appropriate SQL command or through the Data Dictionary in SAP.
  
  Example SQL command: DROP VIEW <view_name>;
  
  
  Rename the New View: If you need to keep the existing view, consider renaming the new view you are trying to create to avoid the conflict.
  Adjust Transport Requests: If the issue is related to transport requests, ensure that the transport is correctly configured and that the view is not being duplicated across systems.
  Check for Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the existing view that might prevent it from being dropped or modified.
