Overlapping messages

An overlapping UMM is the same UMM that has the same message type, Unit, Unit EIC, type of inaccessibility and is active in the same time interval as an existing

UMM. UMM overlapping is not permitted by the system due to validation requirements. If you need to send an overlapping message, you should either update the existing message or cancel the existing one and create a new one. In most cases it is preferable to update an existing message.
