  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 26211 - RFC destination & not defined ?

    The SAP error message "26211 RFC destination & not defined" typically indicates that the system is trying to access a Remote Function Call (RFC) destination that has not been defined in the SAP system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to execute a function module that requires communication with another SAP system or an external system.

    Cause:

    1. Missing RFC Destination: The specified RFC destination does not exist in the SAP system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The RFC destination may exist but is incorrectly configured (e.g., wrong connection parameters).
    3. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified RFC destination.
    4. Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the name of the RFC destination being called.

    Solution:

    1. Define the RFC Destination:

      • Go to transaction code SM59 (RFC Destinations).
      • Check if the RFC destination mentioned in the error message exists.
      • If it does not exist, create a new RFC destination by clicking on the "Create" button and filling in the required details (e.g., target host, system number, client, user, password, etc.).
    2. Check Configuration:

      • If the RFC destination exists, double-click on it to check its configuration.
      • Ensure that the connection parameters (like the target host, system number, and client) are correct.
      • Test the connection using the "Connection Test" button to ensure it can connect successfully.
    3. Authorization Check:

      • Ensure that the user executing the function has the necessary authorizations to use the RFC destination.
      • Check the user roles and profiles to confirm that they have access to the required RFC destination.
    4. Correct Typographical Errors:

      • Verify the name of the RFC destination in the code or configuration where it is being called. Ensure there are no typos or incorrect references.
    5. Check for System Issues:

      • If the RFC destination is defined and configured correctly, check for any network issues or system downtime that might be affecting connectivity.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SM59: Manage RFC Destinations
      • SE37: Function Module Maintenance (to check the function module being called)
      • SU01: User Maintenance (to check user authorizations)
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on configuring RFC destinations and troubleshooting RFC-related issues.

    • Logs: Check the system logs (transaction code SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
