• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/IMPL_LAUNCHPAD013 - Error in resolving target: Alias is not unique ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/IMPL_LAUNCHPAD013 Error in resolving target: Alias is not unique typically occurs in the context of the SAP Fiori Launchpad when there is a conflict with the target mapping configuration. This error indicates that there are multiple entries with the same alias in the target mapping, which leads to ambiguity when the system tries to resolve which target to use.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Alias: The primary cause of this error is the presence of multiple target mappings that share the same alias. This can happen if:
  
  Two or more applications or tiles are configured with the same alias in the Fiori Launchpad.
  There are inconsistencies in the configuration across different systems (e.g., development, quality assurance, production).
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If target mappings were transported from one system to another, it is possible that duplicates were introduced during the transport process.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Target Mappings:
  
  Go to the Fiori Launchpad Designer or the relevant transaction (e.g., /UI2/FLP or /UI2/FLP_CONF) to review the target mappings.
  Look for entries with the same alias and identify the duplicates.
  
  
  
  Modify or Remove Duplicates:
  
  If you find duplicate aliases, you can either:
  
  Change the alias of one of the target mappings to make it unique.
  Remove the unnecessary duplicate entry if it is not needed.
  
  
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue arose due to transport, ensure that the transport requests are correctly configured and that there are no conflicting entries in the target mapping tables.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache:
  
  After making changes, clear the cache of the Fiori Launchpad to ensure that the changes take effect. You can do this by:
  
  Using the transaction /UI2/FLP and selecting the option to clear the cache.
  Alternatively, you can use the browser's cache clearing options.
  
  
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After resolving the duplicates and clearing the cache, test the Fiori Launchpad to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the affected tiles or applications function as expected.
