• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRT_WSP3280 - Service with name "&1" and namespace "&2" is defined more than once ?

  The SAP error message SRT_WSP3280 indicates that there is a conflict in the definition of a web service. Specifically, it means that a service with the specified name and namespace is defined more than once in the system. This can lead to ambiguity when trying to access or invoke the service, as the system cannot determine which definition to use.
  Causes:
  
  Duplicate Service Definitions: The most common cause is that the same web service has been defined multiple times in the SAP system, either in the same namespace or across different namespaces.
  Transport Issues: If services were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it is possible that the same service was already defined in the target system.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration or manual entries in the service registry can lead to duplicate entries.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Identify Duplicates:
  
  Use transaction SOAMANAGER to check the web service definitions. Look for the service with the specified name and namespace.
  You can also use transaction SE80 or SE11 to search for service definitions in the relevant namespaces.
  
  
  
  Remove or Rename Duplicates:
  
  If you find duplicate definitions, you can either delete the unnecessary ones or rename them if they are meant to be different services.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to service definitions.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to see if the same service was included in multiple requests. You may need to adjust the transport requests accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Service Registry:
  
  Ensure that the service registry is clean and does not contain any stale or obsolete entries. You can use the service registry management tools in SOAMANAGER to manage the services.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to web service management for any specific guidelines or best practices that may apply to your situation.
