  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDP414 Source and target objects are identical typically occurs in the context of data transfer or data processing within the SAP system, particularly when using the Data Transfer Process (DTP) or similar functionalities. This error indicates that the source and target objects specified in the data transfer process are the same, which is not allowed.
  Cause:
  
  Identical Source and Target: The most common cause of this error is that the source and target data objects (like InfoProviders, DataStore Objects, etc.) are set to the same object. This can happen if the configuration of the DTP or data flow is not set up correctly.

  Change the target object to a different InfoProvider or DataStore Object that is appropriate for the data being transferred.
  
  
  
  Recreate DTP: If the configuration seems complex or if you are unable to identify the issue, consider recreating the DTP from scratch with the correct source and target settings.
  
  
  Check for Other Processes: Ensure that there are no other processes or transformations that might be causing the source and target to be set to the same object inadvertently.
