Error code - SOLAR_0001

The error is reported during SAP® synchronization. A conflict occurred while checking consistency rules.

Error message

Element <name of element> was skipped because an object definition with attribute SAP ID exists more than once.

Cause

SAP® items are identified by the SAP ID attribute. The SAP ID is unique in SAP® Solution Manager. It is automatically specified during synchronization of data in ARIS. If you create a definition copy of a synchronized object, it will have the same SAP ID. It will then no longer be possible to perform synchronization, since the SAP ID is not unique and the object to be synchronized is not found. Definition copies of previously synchronized items must not be used.

Therefore, in SAP® process models with a specified SAP ID, SAP functions with an identical SAP ID must occur only once. You can recognize these SAP functions by this symbol if you have not changed the method configuration:

SAP function is synchronized

Solution

Delete definition copy

Delete the definition copy and use the SAP function wizard to create an object that complies with the consistency rules. ARIS provides you with optional support for creating SAP functions for a branch or a project, executables, interfaces and documents. If you enable the Open supporting dialog and Run executables with SAP® Solution Manager check boxes on the Solution Manager options page, the executable codes and assignment structure of new SAP functions will automatically be specified according to the consistently rules for SAP® Solution Manager 7.2 or SAP® Solution Manager 7.1. Documents can be transferred to SAP® Solution Manager.

Delete SAP ID

Delete the SAP ID from the object definition and, if required, from the assigned models.

Use occurrence copies or shortcuts

If you are using occurrence copies of SAP functions, they are displayed with the SAP shadow function symbol by default:

SAP function occurrence

The SAP shadow function symbol excludes the object from the synchronization process. This also affects related Process interface symbols used in process models.

Shortcuts can be used multiple times in a project. Shortcuts are ignored in test scenarios. Depending on the synchronization direction, they are either created in SAP® Solution Manager, in which case a new SAP ID is assigned, or they are deleted from ARIS.

Shortcuts are represented using these symbols in event-driven process chains and value-added chains:

Shortcut Shortcut

You can use shortcuts only in the same project in which the linked object definition is managed. Both object definition and shortcut must be included in the synchronization set.

Note that the SAP® Solution Manager 7.2 does not support shortcuts.
