• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SQADB070 - Configuration group & already exists ?

  The SAP error message SQADB070 indicates that a configuration group you are trying to create or modify already exists in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of database configuration or when setting up data sources in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or similar environments.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
