  The SAP error message UGX2016 indicates that there is an attempt to create or write an entry for a query that already exists in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or SAP InfoSet Query when you are trying to create a new query or modify an existing one, but the system detects that an entry with the same identifier already exists.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Query Name: You are trying to create a query with a name that is already in use.
  Existing Query: The query you are trying to create or modify already exists in the database.
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a transport environment, there may be issues with transport requests that have not been properly imported or have conflicts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Queries: 
  
  Go to the transaction code for SAP Query (e.g., SQ01) and check if a query with the same name already exists. If it does, you can either modify the existing query or choose a different name for your new query.

  Delete or Archive: If the existing query is no longer needed, you can delete or archive it to free up the name for your new query.
  
  
  Transport Management: If you suspect that the issue is related to transport requests, ensure that all relevant transport requests are properly imported and that there are no conflicts.
