    2. Integration Name: Business Technology Platform
    3. Certificate File: Upload the certificate .pem file you downloaded from SAP Cloud ALM

You get the below error

Cause

Expected Behaviour.

The issue arises due to a conflict in the system when attempting to import the same Cloud ALM certificate for multiple tenants in the same Tenant Type.

Resolution

The same certificate cannot be used more than once in SF Tenant. The reason for this is that, for X509 certificate registration rule, we use the issuer & subject of certificate as unique key, so if you generate the certificate by the same root CA, at least the subject must be unique. Otherwise, system will consider those certificate as same one, even if its serialize number are different.
