• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BGRFC387 - Server &1: Configuration does not exist ?

  The SAP error message BGRFC387 indicates that there is a configuration issue with the background RFC (BGRFC) server. Specifically, the message states that the configuration for the specified server does not exist. This can occur in scenarios where the BGRFC framework is being used for asynchronous communication between different SAP systems or between different instances of the same system.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Missing Configuration: The BGRFC server configuration for the specified server is not set up in the system.
  Incorrect Server Name: The server name specified in the BGRFC call does not match any existing configuration.
  Transport Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer that prevent the system from recognizing the server configuration.
  System Changes: Recent changes in the system, such as upgrades or configuration changes, may have led to the loss of the BGRFC server configuration.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the BGRFC387 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check BGRFC Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM58 (Transactional RFC) and check if the BGRFC server is correctly configured.
  Use transaction SICF to check if the BGRFC service is active.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Configuration:
  
  If the configuration is missing, you may need to create it. Use transaction SM59 to configure the RFC destination.
  Ensure that the BGRFC server is properly defined in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant settings in the BGRFC configuration.
  
  
  
  Verify Server Name:
  
  Ensure that the server name used in the BGRFC call is correct and matches the configuration in the system.
  
  
  
  Check Logs:
  
  Review the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Restart BGRFC:
  
  Sometimes, restarting the BGRFC server can help resolve transient issues. You can do this through transaction SM21 or by using the appropriate BGRFC management transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP Notes and documentation related to BGRFC for any specific configurations or known issues.
