• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /CFG/DB121 - &1 &2 &3 &4:Both ADD and REMOVE requested, REMOVE is ignored ?

  The SAP error message /CFG/DB121 &1 &2 &3 &4: Both ADD and REMOVE requested, REMOVE is ignored typically occurs in the context of configuration management, particularly when dealing with database entries or settings in SAP systems. This error indicates that there is a conflict in the request where both an addition (ADD) and a removal (REMOVE) operation are being requested simultaneously for the same object or configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Conflicting Operations: The error arises when a configuration request attempts to add an entry while simultaneously trying to remove it. This is not allowed because the system cannot process both operations at the same time for the same object.
  Misconfiguration: It may be due to a misconfiguration in the transport request or in the configuration settings where both operations are defined.
  Scripting or Custom Code: If there is custom code or scripts that manipulate configurations, they might inadvertently be trying to add and remove the same configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Configuration Requests: Check the configuration requests or transport requests to ensure that you are not trying to add and remove the same object at the same time. You should decide whether you want to add or remove the object and adjust the request accordingly.
  Modify the Request: If you find that both operations are present, modify the request to include only one of the operations (either ADD or REMOVE) based on your requirements.
  Check Custom Code: If there is any custom code involved, review it to ensure that it does not attempt to perform conflicting operations on the same object.
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the configuration to ensure that the error does not occur again.
