• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STC_SC_TASKS230 - Old logical system name &1 already specified ?

  The SAP error message STC_SC_TASKS230 indicates that there is a conflict with the logical system name in the context of a task or job that is being executed. This error typically arises when the system detects that the logical system name specified in the task is already in use or has been defined previously, leading to a duplication issue.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Logical System Name: The logical system name specified in the task is already defined in the system, which can happen if the same logical system is being referenced multiple times in different tasks or jobs.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system where the logical system names are not properly maintained or have been incorrectly set up.
  Transport Requests: If you are working with transport requests, the logical system name might be included in multiple transport requests, causing a conflict.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Logical System Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SCC4 to check the configuration of logical systems. Ensure that the logical system name you are trying to use is not already defined.
  If it is defined, you may need to either use a different logical system name or modify the existing one if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Review Task Definitions:
  
  Review the task or job definitions where the error is occurring. Ensure that the logical system name is only specified once and is not duplicated across different tasks.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transport Requests:
  
  If the error is related to transport requests, check the transport directory and ensure that the logical system is not included in multiple requests that are being processed simultaneously.
