• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E0605 - Logical destination already exists ?

  The SAP error message E0605, which states "Logical destination already exists," typically occurs when you are trying to create a logical destination in the SAP system that already exists. This can happen in various contexts, such as when configuring RFC destinations or when setting up communication between systems.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The logical destination you are trying to create already exists in the system.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration or an attempt to create a destination with the same name as an existing one.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting configurations from one system to another, the destination may already be present in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Destinations:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Look for the logical destination you are trying to create. If it exists, you can either modify it or delete it if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Destination:
  
  If the destination already exists and you need to change its configuration, select the destination and click on the "Change" button to update the settings.
  
  
  
  Delete Unused Destinations:
  
  If the existing destination is not needed, you can delete it by selecting the destination and clicking on the "Delete" button.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Name:
  
  If you need to create a new logical destination, consider using a different name that does not conflict with existing entries.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If this issue arises during a transport, ensure that the destination is not included in the transport request or that it is not already present in the target system.
