• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 0D642 - Posting run cannot be started: RFC is active ?

  The SAP error message 0D642 indicates that a posting run cannot be started because the Remote Function Call (RFC) is active. This typically occurs in the context of financial postings or batch processing where the system is trying to execute a posting run but is unable to do so due to the RFC status.
  Cause:
  
  Active RFC Connections: The error usually arises when there are active RFC connections that are preventing the posting run from being initiated. This can happen if there are ongoing processes or transactions that are using RFC connections.
  Locking Issues: The system may have locks in place that are preventing the posting run from starting.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are not allowing the posting run to proceed when RFC is active.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Active RFC Connections:
  
  Use transaction SM58 to check for any active or stuck RFC calls. If you find any, you may need to resolve or terminate them.
  Look for any long-running or failed RFC calls that might be holding up the process.
  
  
  
  Review Background Jobs:
  
  Check if there are any background jobs running that might be using RFC connections. You can use transaction SM37 to monitor background jobs and their statuses.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:
  
  If there are locks in place, you can use transaction SM12 to check for and release any locks that may be preventing the posting run.
  
  
  
  Configuration Review:
  
  Review the configuration settings related to the posting run and RFC connections. Ensure that they are set up correctly and that there are no restrictions preventing the posting run from starting.
  
  
  
  Restart the Process:
  
  After addressing any active RFC connections or locks, try to restart the posting run to see if the issue is resolved.
