UCM0017
- The name &1 is already assigned ?The SAP error message UCM0017, which states "The name &1 is already assigned," typically occurs in the context of the SAP system when you are trying to create or modify an object (such as a user, role, or other configuration items) that has a name that is already in use. This can happen in various modules, including User and Role Management, Customizing, or other areas where unique identifiers are required.
Cause:
- Duplicate Name: The most common cause is that the name you are trying to assign to the object is already being used by another object in the system.
- Namespace Conflicts: If you are working in a development environment, there may be conflicts with names that are reserved or already used in the production or other environments.
- Incorrect Object Type: You might be trying to create an object of a type that has a naming convention that conflicts with existing objects.
Solution:
- Check Existing Objects: Verify if the name you are trying to use is already assigned to another object. You can do this by searching for the object in the relevant transaction (e.g., SU01 for users, PFCG for roles).
- Choose a Unique Name: If the name is already in use, select a different, unique name for your new object.
- Namespace Management: If you are in a development environment, ensure that you are using the correct namespace for your objects to avoid conflicts.
- Consult Documentation: Review the documentation for the specific object type you are working with to understand any naming conventions or restrictions that may apply.
- System Administrator Assistance: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consult with your system administrator or SAP support for further assistance.
