  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following scenarios:
  
  Duplicate Endpoint Registration: An endpoint with the specified SAP-internal key already exists in the system. This can happen if there was an attempt to create the same endpoint multiple times.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings where the same endpoint is being referenced or defined more than once.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Endpoints:

  If the endpoint is required, ensure that you are not trying to create it again.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check your configuration settings in the relevant customizing transactions (like SPRO) to ensure that there are no duplicate entries for the endpoint.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue arises after a transport, ensure that the transport does not contain duplicate entries. You may need to adjust the transport request or manually resolve the duplicates in the target system.
