  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SVRS_VRS_COPY004 - Objects with problem (already existing in current system): & ?

    The SAP error message SVRS_VRS_COPY004 typically indicates that there are objects in the system that already exist and are causing a conflict during a copy or transport operation. This error often arises when you are trying to copy or transport objects (like programs, function modules, or other development objects) from one system to another, and the target system already contains objects with the same names or identifiers.

    Cause:

    1. Duplicate Objects: The most common cause is that the objects you are trying to copy already exist in the target system. This can happen if the same development objects have been transported previously or if they were created manually in the target system.
    2. Version Conflicts: There may be version conflicts where the existing objects in the target system are different from those in the source system.
    3. Transport Directory Issues: Sometimes, issues with the transport directory or transport requests can lead to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Existing Objects: Before performing the copy or transport, check the target system for existing objects. You can use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the objects in question.
    2. Delete or Rename Conflicting Objects: If the existing objects are not needed, you can delete them or rename them if possible. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform these actions.
    3. Use Transport Organizer: If you are using the Transport Organizer, ensure that you are managing your transport requests properly. You may need to adjust the transport request to avoid conflicts.
    4. Adjust Transport Request: If the objects are not critical, you can adjust the transport request to exclude the conflicting objects.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific objects you are trying to transport for any additional guidance or known issues.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE09 (Transport Organizer), SE10 (Transport Organizer - Extended), and SE01 (Transport Organizer - Administration).
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific notes related to the error message SVRS_VRS_COPY004. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common issues.
    • System Logs: Review system logs for additional context or related error messages that may provide more insight into the issue.

    If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
