  The SAP error message SRT_WSP2360 indicates that there is an issue with the IBC (Integration Broker Configuration) reference in the context of SAP's web services. Specifically, the error message states that an IBC reference with a given ID already exists, which means that the system is trying to create or register a new IBC reference that conflicts with an existing one.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate IBC Reference: The most common cause of this error is that there is already an IBC reference with the same ID in the system. This can happen if:
  
  The same configuration is being imported or created multiple times.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing IBC References:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction or configuration area in SAP where IBC references are managed (e.g., SOAMANAGER).

  If it exists, determine if it is valid or if it can be deleted or modified.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify the Existing Reference:
  
  If the existing IBC reference is no longer needed, you can delete it.
  If it is needed, consider modifying the new reference ID you are trying to create to avoid the conflict.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Steps:
  
  Ensure that the steps you are following to create or register the IBC reference are correct and do not lead to duplication.
  If you are importing configurations, check the import file for duplicates.
