• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/PAGEBUILDER006 - Copy of tile failed: source tile and target tile are identical ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/PAGEBUILDER006 indicates that there is an attempt to copy a tile in the SAP Fiori Launchpad, but the source tile and the target tile are identical. This means that the system is trying to create a copy of a tile that already exists with the same configuration, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Identical Tile Configuration: The source tile you are trying to copy has the same properties (like title, target mapping, etc.) as the target tile you are trying to create.
  User Error: The user may have mistakenly selected the same tile for both source and target during the copy operation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Tile Properties: Before copying, ensure that the source tile and the target tile do not have identical properties. You can do this by reviewing the configuration of both tiles.
  Rename Target Tile: If you want to create a new tile based on the existing one, ensure that you change the title or other properties of the target tile to make it distinct from the source tile.
  Use Different Target Mapping: If applicable, modify the target mapping or other settings to differentiate the new tile from the existing one.
  Delete or Modify Existing Tile: If the intention was to replace the existing tile, consider deleting or modifying the existing tile instead of copying it.
