• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BC_DATAMODEL_SERVICE517 - Remote system change using tRFC scheduled --> will start at & ?

  The SAP error message BC_DATAMODEL_SERVICE517 indicates that a remote system change using transactional RFC (tRFC) has been scheduled and will start at a specified time. This message is typically informational and does not necessarily indicate an error, but it can be a point of concern if the scheduled task does not execute as expected.
  Cause:
  
  
  tRFC Scheduling: The message is generated when a tRFC call is scheduled to be executed at a later time. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The target system is currently busy or unavailable.
  There are network issues preventing immediate execution.
  The system is configured to delay certain operations for performance reasons.
  
  
  
  System Load: High system load or resource constraints may lead to delays in processing tRFC calls.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Misconfiguration in the RFC destination or the tRFC settings can also lead to scheduling messages.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Monitor tRFC Queue: Check the tRFC queue in transaction SM58. This transaction allows you to monitor the status of tRFC calls and see if there are any that are stuck or have failed.
  
  
  Check System Status: Ensure that the target system is up and running. If the target system is down, the tRFC calls will be delayed until it becomes available.
  
  
  Review Logs: Look at the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages that might provide more context on why the tRFC call is scheduled rather than executed.
  
  
  Adjust Configuration: If necessary, review and adjust the configuration of the RFC destination (transaction SM59) to ensure it is set up correctly.
  
  
  Performance Tuning: If the issue is related to system load, consider performance tuning or scheduling the tRFC calls during off-peak hours.
  
  
  Retry Mechanism: If the tRFC call fails, ensure that there is a retry mechanism in place to attempt the call again.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  tRFC (Transactional RFC): This is a special type of RFC that ensures that the data is processed exactly once, even in the case of system failures. It is used for scenarios where data consistency is critical.
  SM58: This transaction is used to monitor and manage tRFC calls. You can see the status of each call and take action if necessary.
  SLG1: This transaction is used to view application logs, which can provide insights into issues related to tRFC calls.
  
  If the message persists or if you encounter further issues, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or refer to SAP Notes for more specific troubleshooting steps related to your system configuration.
