Web IDE Deployment Error - Object already exist

[martin_b]

Hi All,

I am trying to deploy an existing application from the Web IDE. The deployment process returns the error - "Resource UI5_OBJECT ... does already exist."

Regarding to this problem is there already a solution? Respectively what is the problem why this error occurs?

Hi,

Are you deploying it as a new application or updating an existing app? Can you share some screenshots?

If it helps - here is the solution - delete the UI5RepositoryPathMapping.xml file in SE80 and try uploading again. It should work.

Is it safe to delete UI5RepositoryPathMapping.xml? i encountered this issue just yesterday. i deleted some duplicate files in ABAP repository.

thanks,

In my case the problem was the opposite than the message indeed say. I went to the backend and look up for the file that was giving me problems and it was not there.

Then I created the file as a copy of another controller and submitted again the file from eclipse, solve the conflicts overwriting with the changes that were in eclipse and this time it was ok.

Hope it helps you.

Hi,

It's possible that this issue is related to what's written in the UI5RepositoryPathMapping.xml file in your deployed app. You need to make sure that no manual change was done to it (for example a path was deleted), so its state matches the current state of the app.
The deployment flow relies on this file to be correct.

Michal.
