  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 3I268 - More than 1 RFC destination defined for BAPI. ?

    The SAP error message 3I268 ("More than 1 RFC destination defined for BAPI") typically occurs when a Business Application Programming Interface (BAPI) is called, and there are multiple Remote Function Call (RFC) destinations defined for that BAPI. This can lead to ambiguity in determining which RFC destination should be used for the call.

    Cause:

    1. Multiple RFC Destinations: The BAPI you are trying to call has more than one RFC destination associated with it. This can happen if the BAPI is configured to work with multiple systems or if there are multiple entries in the system configuration.
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the BAPI or the RFC destinations in the SAP system.
    3. Transport Issues: If the BAPI was transported from one system to another, it might have inherited multiple RFC destinations that are not applicable in the current environment.

    Solution:

    1. Check RFC Destinations:

      • Go to transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations) and check the list of RFC destinations defined in your system.
      • Identify the RFC destinations associated with the BAPI in question.
    2. Review BAPI Configuration:

      • Use transaction SE37 (Function Module) to check the BAPI definition.
      • Ensure that the BAPI is correctly configured to use a single RFC destination.
    3. Modify BAPI Call:

      • If you are calling the BAPI programmatically, ensure that you specify the correct RFC destination in your code.
      • If you are using a middleware or integration tool, check its configuration to ensure it is set to use the correct RFC destination.
    4. Remove Unnecessary RFC Destinations:

      • If there are redundant or unnecessary RFC destinations, consider removing or deactivating them to avoid confusion.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific BAPI you are using to understand its expected configuration and usage.
    6. Contact SAP Support:

      • If the issue persists and you cannot resolve it, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.

    Related Information:

    • BAPI: A BAPI is a standardized programming interface that allows external applications to interact with SAP systems.
    • RFC: Remote Function Call is a protocol used to call functions in a remote system.
    • Transaction Codes:
      • SM59: Manage RFC destinations.
      • SE37: Display and modify function modules (including BAPIs).
      • SE80: Object Navigator, useful for exploring BAPIs and their configurations.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
