1848603 - DSYS_PHHEAD_ECD2 index error during upgrade

Symptom 1:

During an upgrade to any ECC 6.0 release (SR, EHP or SP on a ECC 6.0 environment), the following error is raised during TABIM_UPG phase:

2EETW000 Update and insert sequence failed due to conflicting unique indexes on table DSYS_PHHEAD_ECD2 (please read OSS note 626915 for details)

However OSS note 626915 provides general guidance and does not contain information about this specific error.

Symptom 2:

The same error appears during an upgrade using Do DMO in phase TABIM_SHADOW_UPG2.
