Error: Cannot register the hard disk 'slave-template.vdi' {43fdc3ab-a37e-4508-8355-3333c43ca395} because a hard disk 'template.vdi' with UUID {43fdc3ab-a37e-4508-8355-3333c43ca395} already exists

Virtual Box for Mac, encountered and error saying imported vdi file existed with spesific UUID.

Error when trying to import existing .vdi harddisk files in Virtual Box.
Reason is because each vdi (harddisk) is tag with a unique UID, thus can't be replicated.

BUT, you can clone it.

OOn Mac OS X, Virtual Box comes with a cloning utility. Open Terminal and enter below:

VBoxManage clonehd <old.vdi> <new.vdi>

and it wil be clone accordingly. :)

Fiori Apps Keep Calling Internal Hostname / Internal FQDN

-

Had this issue where certain apps calls internal hostnames or internal FQDN when clicking or spawning webdynpro URL or any calling of internally hosted attachment. To change this setting, general steps as below: Check the app is using which local Alias - is it LOCAL or S4PS or S4FIn or whatever Check in /UI2/V_ALIASMAP / /UI2/V_ALIASCAT that alis is mapped to which alias. Check in SM59 under HTTP Connections to ABAP System if let say the Alias name is LOCAL, so there should be three LOCAL_xx created, which are: LOCAL_HTTP LOCAL_HTTPS LOCAL_HTTPT SO change for each of this, to the correct FQDN or hostname Hope this helps someone. //alak
