This error typically arises when the number of destinations specified in the configuration does not match the expected or allowed number of destinations for the BGRFC server.
  Cause:
  
  Configuration Mismatch: The number of destinations configured in the BGRFC server settings does not match the actual number of destinations available or expected.
  System Limitations: There may be limitations on the number of destinations that can be configured for a BGRFC server, and exceeding this limit can trigger the error.
  Network Issues: If there are network issues or misconfigurations, it may lead to the system being unable to recognize the available destinations.

  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the BGRFC server configuration in transaction code SM58 or SMD to ensure that the number of destinations is correctly set.
  Adjust Destinations: If the number of destinations is incorrect, adjust it to match the expected configuration. This may involve adding or removing destinations as necessary.
  Review System Limits: Consult the SAP documentation or system settings to understand the limits on the number of destinations for BGRFC servers and ensure compliance.
  Network Configuration: Verify network settings and ensure that all required destinations are reachable and correctly configured.
