What causes this issue?

In each stack of software components, connectors for a given
connectivity can only be created from one location. In this particular
case, concurring connectors have already been created from a different
branch of the software component stack. A connector from your selected
software component cannot exist in parallel.

System Response

The connector you want to create cannot be created in this
constellation. If the connector already exists, it may not be usable
from a functional point of view; you cannot update it, it must be
deleted.

How to fix this error?

Delete the connector in question.
If you nevertheless want to create the connector from this software
component, the only option is to delete the concurring connectors.
Creation of the connector is allowed once all connectors from concurring
software components within the same software component stack have been
deleted.
Alternatively you can follow the instructions given in note 2233630.
