• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_CCP_WD_LOOKUP003 - &1: Definition of object &2 exists multiple times ?

  The SAP error message SWDP_CCP_WD_LOOKUP003 indicates that there is a conflict due to multiple definitions of the same object in the system. This typically occurs in the context of Web Dynpro applications, where the system is trying to resolve a specific object (like a component or view) but finds multiple definitions with the same name.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Definitions: The most common cause of this error is that the same object (e.g., a Web Dynpro component or view) has been defined multiple times in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The object was created in different development packages.
  There are multiple versions of the same object in different namespaces.
  There are inconsistencies in the transport requests.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If objects were transported incorrectly or if there are inconsistencies between the development and production environments, this error can occur.
  
  
  Namespace Conflicts: If the same object name is used in different namespaces, it can lead to ambiguity when the system tries to resolve which object to use.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Duplicates: Use transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the object in question. Check if there are multiple definitions of the object in different packages or namespaces.
  
  
  Remove or Rename Duplicates: If you find duplicate definitions, you will need to either remove or rename the conflicting objects. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations and that you follow your organization's change management processes.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue is related to transport requests, ensure that all relevant objects are included in the transport and that they are correctly imported into the target system.
  
  
  Clear Cache: Sometimes, clearing the cache can help resolve issues related to object definitions. You can do this by using transaction code /IWFND/CACHE_CLEANUP for OData services or /IWFND/ERROR_LOG to check for errors.
  
  
  Check for Namespace Issues: If the object is defined in different namespaces, consider consolidating the definitions or ensuring that the correct namespace is being referenced in your application.
