• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_CONFIGURATION118 - Customizing &1 uses component &2 with configuration of the same name ?

  The SAP error message SWDP_CONFIGURATION118 indicates a conflict in the configuration of a component in the SAP Web Dynpro environment. Specifically, it suggests that there is a customization (or configuration) for a component that is using the same name as the component itself, which can lead to ambiguity and issues in the application.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  A Web Dynpro component is configured with a name that is identical to the component itself.
  There may be a misconfiguration in the Web Dynpro application or component settings.
  The system is unable to distinguish between the component and its configuration due to naming conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Component Configuration:
  
  Go to the Web Dynpro component in the SAP system.
  Review the configuration settings for the component. Ensure that the configuration name is unique and does not match the component name.
  
  
  
  Rename Configuration:
  
  If the configuration name is the same as the component name, rename the configuration to something distinct. This can usually be done in the Web Dynpro configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache:
  
  After making changes, clear the cache of the Web Dynpro application. This can be done using transaction code SICF to refresh the service or using transaction SWU3 to perform a general cache refresh.
  
  
  
  Test the Application:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the Web Dynpro application to ensure that the error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
