When I define my R/3 system in XI SLD,I got CIM_ERR_ALREADY_EXISTS message

[Former Member]

<b>CIM_ERR_ALREADY_EXISTS: Instance already exists: SAP_BCSystem.CreationClassName="SAP_BCSystem",Name="BRP.SystemNumber.0020270914.SystemHome.sapprddb"</b>

Before I defined R/3 system in XI SLD wrongly, after that I delete from Business and technical , after that I start new definition.And It gave me error above.

I think some data must be deleted related with the previous definition.

How can I correct this error?

Thanks

In the SLD, go to Administration -> Content Maintenance and check the existence of the BRP system in the subset Landscape Description, Class BC System

The system you removed is still present in the list presented.

There was a BRP system in Class: BC System. I removed it.

And I tryed to add BRP system (technical landscape). It gave me error belowe:

<b>500 Internal Server Error</b>

Cemil,

In the SLD, go to Administration -> Content Maintenance and check the existence of the BRP system in the subset Landscape Description, Class BC System

The system you removed is still present in the list presented.

Before going to the next steps, make sure you make an export of the SLD contents.

First check it's associations and remove any objects that are only created for this specific business / technical system, usually recognizable by the name, which contains BRP.

After that, you can remove the BC System object itself from the SLD.

Kind regards,

Koen
