• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SHTTP085 - Different services use the same ICFNODGUIDs ?

  The SAP error message SHTTP085 indicates that there are multiple services in the Internet Communication Framework (ICF) that are using the same ICF node GUIDs (Globally Unique Identifiers). This situation can lead to conflicts and issues in service handling within the SAP system.
  Cause
  The primary cause of this error is the configuration of ICF services where two or more services are inadvertently assigned the same GUID. This can happen due to:
  
  Manual Configuration Errors: When services are created or modified manually, there might be a mistake in assigning unique identifiers.
  Transport Issues: If ICF nodes are transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), there might be conflicts if the same GUIDs are used in different systems.
  System Migration or Upgrade: During system upgrades or migrations, inconsistencies can arise if the ICF nodes are not properly managed.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the SHTTP085 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Conflicting Services:
  
  Use transaction SICF to display the ICF services.
  Check for services that have the same GUID. You can do this by examining the properties of each service.
  
  
  
  Modify or Delete Conflicting Services:
  
  If you find services with the same GUID, you can either:
  
  Change the GUID of one of the conflicting services (if applicable).
  Delete the duplicate service if it is not needed.
  
  
  Ensure that each service has a unique GUID.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the issue arose due to transport, ensure that the transport requests are correctly configured and that there are no duplicate entries in the transport.
  
  
  
  Check for System Consistency:
  
  After making changes, check the consistency of the ICF services using transaction SICF and ensure that there are no more conflicts.
  
  
  
  Restart ICF Services:
  
  After resolving the conflicts, you may need to restart the ICF services or the entire SAP system to ensure that the changes take effect.
