SOS_MAPPING817
- Attribute name & is reserved for identified GUID ?The SAP error message SOS_MAPPING817 indicates that there is an issue with the mapping of attributes in the context of SAP's data modeling or data integration processes. Specifically, the error message states that the attribute name you are trying to use is reserved for an identified GUID (Globally Unique Identifier). This typically occurs in scenarios involving SAP HANA, SAP BW, or other SAP data services where attributes are being defined or mapped.

- Naming Conflicts: There may be a naming conflict where the attribute name you are trying to define is already in use or reserved by the system.
- Data Model Constraints: The data model you are working with may have constraints that prevent the use of certain names for attributes.
Solution:
- Rename the Attribute: The most straightforward solution is to rename the attribute to something that is not reserved. Choose a unique name that does not conflict with existing system-defined names.
- Check Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or data model specifications to identify reserved names and ensure that your attribute names do not conflict with them.
- Review Data Model: If you are working within a specific data model, review the model to understand the naming conventions and reserved names.
