• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI5/CM_LOCATION001 - Entry already exists ?

  The SAP error message /UI5/CM_LOCATION001 Entry already exists typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori/UI5 applications when there is an attempt to create or register a component or resource that already exists in the system. This can happen during the deployment of UI5 applications or when configuring the Fiori Launchpad.
  Cause:
  
  
  Duplicate Entries: The error is often caused by trying to register a component or resource that has already been registered in the system. This could be due to:
  
  Multiple deployments of the same application.
  Incorrect configuration in the Fiori Launchpad.
  Issues with caching or stale data in the system.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: If the application or component is incorrectly configured, it may lead to attempts to create duplicate entries.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the same transport request is imported multiple times, it can lead to duplicate entries.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Entries: 
  
  Verify if the component or resource you are trying to register already exists in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant configuration tables or using transaction codes like /UI5/CM to view the registered components.
  
  
  
  Clear Cache: 
  
  Clear the cache of the Fiori Launchpad and the browser. Sometimes, stale cache can lead to such errors. You can use the transaction /UI5/APP_CACHE to clear the cache.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration: 
  
  Check the configuration settings in the Fiori Launchpad and ensure that there are no duplicate entries. This includes checking the catalog and group configurations.
  
  
  
  Transport Management: 
  
  If the issue is related to transport requests, ensure that the transport requests are correctly managed and that the same request is not being imported multiple times.
  
  
  
  Delete Duplicate Entries: 
  
  If you find duplicate entries, you may need to delete the unnecessary ones. Be cautious when doing this to avoid removing essential configurations.
