  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Entry: The most common cause is that a logical port with the same name has already been created in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration settings where the same logical port is being referenced multiple times.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Logical Ports:
  
  Go to the transaction code SOAMANAGER.
  Navigate to the "Web Service Configuration" section.
  Look for the logical ports that are already defined and check if the name you are trying to use is already in use.
  
  
  
  Rename the Logical Port:

  Delete or Modify Existing Port:
  
  If the existing logical port is no longer needed, you can delete it or modify it to free up the name for your new logical port.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that they did not inadvertently create duplicate entries.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
