  Multiple HANA Destinations: There are multiple HANA destinations configured in the system that match the same criteria, causing confusion for the system when trying to establish a connection.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the destination settings, such as incorrect naming or overlapping parameters.
  System Landscape Changes: Changes in the system landscape, such as the addition of new HANA systems or changes in existing ones, can lead to multiple destinations being created unintentionally.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check HANA Destinations:

  Adjust CDS Views:
  
  If applicable, check the CDS views that are trying to use the HANA destination. Ensure that they are correctly referencing the intended destination.
  
  
  
  Test Connections:
