• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XMS_ADM073 - Combination (NSURI, Namespace) is not unique ?

  The SAP error message XMS_ADM073 indicates that there is a conflict in the configuration of namespaces in the SAP system. Specifically, it means that the combination of NSURI (Namespace URI) and Namespace is not unique, which can lead to issues in message processing or service invocation.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Namespace Entries: The most common cause of this error is that there are multiple entries in the system that have the same combination of NSURI and Namespace. This can happen if namespaces are not managed properly or if there are multiple configurations that were not intended to coexist.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect or incomplete configuration of the messaging system or service definitions can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If configurations are transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), duplicates may inadvertently be created.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Namespace Configuration:
  
  Go to the relevant configuration area in SAP (e.g., Integration Builder or Enterprise Services).
  Review the existing namespaces and their URIs to identify duplicates.
  Remove or modify the duplicate entries to ensure that each combination of NSURI and Namespace is unique.
  
  
  
  Use Unique Identifiers:

  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs and the configurations in the source and target systems to ensure that no duplicates were introduced during the transport process.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of your SAP system for any known issues or additional guidance on managing namespaces.
