How To Fix TG061 - Naming conflict in data element & with table / structure / view

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TG - Messages for Upgrade Repository Switch

• Message number: 061

• Message text: Naming conflict in data element & with table / structure / view

What causes this issue?

As of Release 4.0, data elements are in the same namespace as tables,
structures, views, and table pools and clusters. The namespaces used to
be separate. Data elements therefore already exist, such as the data
element specified in the message, that have the sames names as, for
example, a table.

System Response

The data elements with name conflicts in the customer namespace are
renamed automatically during the upgrade to Release 4.0. All uses of
the data elements (for example, assignment of a data element to a table
field) are also renamed.

How to fix this error?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Procedure for System Administrators

Customer-specific managements or uses of data element names are not
renamed automatically. These can be, for example, occurrences of data
element names as field values in customer-specific tables or use of
data element names as strings in programs.
These occurrences of data element names should be changed manually to
maintain consistency. Table DDDTRENUPG contains the assignments between
old and new data element names for all data elements renamed at SAP and
at the customers.
