• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC118 - Lock for destination &1 deleted ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC118 indicates that a lock for a specific destination (denoted as &1 in the message) has been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of the Background RFC (BGRFC) framework, which is used for asynchronous communication between different SAP systems or between different processes within the same system.
  Cause:
  
  Lock Timeout: The lock for the destination may have timed out due to inactivity or a long-running process.
  Manual Deletion: The lock could have been manually deleted by an administrator or through a program that cleans up locks.
  System Restart: A system restart or a failure in the BGRFC infrastructure could lead to the deletion of locks.
  Configuration Issues: Misconfiguration in the BGRFC settings or destination settings can lead to unexpected behavior, including lock deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BGRFC Status: Use transaction SM58 to check the status of the BGRFC queues and see if there are any stuck or failed entries.
  Re-establish Connection: If the lock was deleted due to a timeout, try to re-establish the connection or restart the process that was using the BGRFC destination.
  Review Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages or warnings that could provide more context on why the lock was deleted.
  Adjust Timeout Settings: If timeouts are a frequent issue, consider adjusting the timeout settings for the BGRFC destination in transaction SM59.
  Monitor System Performance: Ensure that the system is not overloaded and that there are sufficient resources available to handle BGRFC calls.
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide patches or updates that could resolve underlying issues.
