New entry not possible because of GTABKEY registration

Message type: E = Error

Message class: ESH_OM_OBJ_MODEL_RP2 - Object Model Repository (2)

Message number: 569

Message text: New entry not possible because of GTABKEY registration



What causes this issue?

The first entity cannot be inserted because it is a clone of the second
entity with just another name. Because of the actual
GTABKEY-registrations the first entity must have the same internal key
as the second entity.
For example:
You create a model named A in system 1 which then automatically gets the
internal key 123. The combination (123,A) is stored in table GTABKEY.
Then you create the same model A in system 2 which also gets internal
key 123.
After that you rename model A in system 2 to B. Now you have model B in
system 2 with internal key 123.
Finally you try to create a model A in system 2 again. This model must
get internal key 123 because of the GTABKEY-registration (123,A) -
because it is the same model as model A in system 1 - and thus model A
and model B in system 2 are in fact the same model.
