• Message number: 742

• Message text: Prefix &1 for grouping characteristics alread used

What causes this issue?

New grouping characteristics are created when the account assignment
reference determination is migrated. These should differ from existing
entries to enable them to be deleted again if the migration is reversed.
You tried to differentiate using the prefix &V1&. However this is not
possible because grouping characteristics with this prefix already
exist.

System Response

The account assignment reference determination was not migrated.

How to fix this error?

Implement the CHANGE_GROUPING_ID method of the TPM_MIGRATION_TRAC Add-In
and assign a new prefix there.
The implementation can no longer be changed after migration. This is to
ensure that it remains possible to reverse.
