Same Logical System Name, different Business System

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I have a problem regarding SLD and Integration Directory. The client is requiring me to use the same logical system name for two different business systems. It seems that this is not possible in XI. When I tried activating the business system in ID, I'm getting the error, 'Logical system XXX already exists in communication component YYY'. Please help. Thanks!

Hi,

You cannot have same logical name for two business systems....

Why you need it?? How will the SAP system understand which which system the message was sent for?? Some workaround like

1. Create a business system with this logical system

2. Overwrite sender/receiver business system in the receiver agreement for messages sent to 2nd business system..

This may lead to discrepancies....

Hi,

The error message you are getting from the ID is correct, PI does not accept more than one business system with the same logical system name.

In theory a decentral adapter engine could help solve the problem.

Is this requirement temporary? Otherwise you coould also try to bypass this obstacle by using an intermediate scenario... for instance by using a SOAP or File based scenario instead of IDOC for the 2nd system.
