• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SHTTP086 - ICFNODGUID used twice; service &1, path &2; last changed by &3 &4 ?

  The SAP error message SHTTP086 indicates that there is a conflict with the Internet Communication Framework (ICF) services in your SAP system. Specifically, it means that a service is being defined with the same GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) as another service, which is not allowed. This can happen if the same service is registered multiple times or if there are issues with the service configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Service Registration: The same service is registered more than once in the ICF with the same GUID.
  Configuration Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the service configuration or changes made to the service that have not been properly updated in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the service was transported from one system to another, it might have caused conflicts with existing services.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check ICF Services: Use transaction code SICF to check the list of ICF services. Look for the service mentioned in the error message and verify if it is registered multiple times.
  Delete Duplicate Services: If you find duplicate entries, you can delete the unnecessary ones. Be cautious and ensure that you are not deleting a service that is actively being used.
  Adjust Service Configuration: If the service configuration is incorrect, you may need to adjust it. This can involve changing the service path or other parameters to ensure uniqueness.
  Transport Management: If the issue arose from a transport, check the transport logs and ensure that the transport did not overwrite existing services incorrectly.
  Restart ICF Services: After making changes, you may need to restart the ICF services or the entire SAP system to ensure that the changes take effect.
