• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BTP_DL093 - The RFC destination used for PIFD initialization must not be optional ?

  The SAP error message BTP_DL093 indicates that there is an issue with the RFC (Remote Function Call) destination configuration used for PIFD (Process Integration Framework for Data) initialization. Specifically, the error states that the RFC destination must be set as mandatory and cannot be optional.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  RFC Destination Configuration: The RFC destination that is being used for PIFD initialization is configured as optional in the SAP system. This means that the system does not require this destination to be available for the process to continue, which is not suitable for PIFD initialization.
  Missing or Incorrect RFC Destination: The specified RFC destination may not exist, or it may be incorrectly configured, leading to the system being unable to establish a connection.
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the specified RFC destination.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Locate the RFC destination that is being used for PIFD initialization.
  Ensure that the destination is set as mandatory and not optional. You can do this by checking the properties of the RFC destination.
  
  
  
  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  In transaction SM59, select the RFC destination and click on the Test Connection button to verify that the connection can be established successfully.
  If the test fails, check the configuration settings, including the target system, user credentials, and connection type.
  
  
  
  Review Logs and Traces:
  
  Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or details that may provide more context about the issue.
  Review the system logs (transaction SM21) for any network-related errors or issues.
  
  
  
  Network Configuration:
  
  Ensure that there are no firewall or network issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the RFC destination.
  If necessary, consult with your network administrator to verify connectivity.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to PIFD and RFC destinations for any specific configuration requirements or recommendations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
