• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC364 - Invalid processing time for destination (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC364 indicates that there is an issue with the processing time for a destination in the background RFC (BGRFC) framework. This error typically arises when the processing time specified for a BGRFC destination is invalid or not within acceptable limits.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Time Configuration: The processing time for the BGRFC destination may be set incorrectly in the system configuration.
  System Time Issues: There may be discrepancies in the system time settings between the sender and receiver systems.
  Network Latency: High network latency or issues in communication between systems can lead to timeouts and invalid processing times.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect settings in the BGRFC configuration or in the destination parameters can lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 and check the configuration of the RFC destination. Ensure that the processing time settings are correct.
  Review the BGRFC settings in transaction SMD or SBD1 to ensure that the processing time is set appropriately.
  
  
  
  System Time Synchronization:
  
  Ensure that the system time on both the sender and receiver systems is synchronized. You can use NTP (Network Time Protocol) to synchronize the time across systems.
