• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CFBGRFC103 - Internal error occurred during retry ?

  The SAP error message CFBGRFC103 indicates that an internal error occurred during a retry of a remote function call (RFC). This error can arise due to various reasons, including issues with the RFC destination, network problems, or configuration errors. Here’s a breakdown of potential causes, solutions, and related information:
  Causes:
  
  Network Issues: Temporary network disruptions can lead to failures in RFC calls.
  RFC Destination Configuration: Incorrect settings in the RFC destination (e.g., incorrect user credentials, wrong target system settings).
  System Load: High load on the SAP system or the target system can cause timeouts or failures in processing requests.
  Authorization Issues: The user credentials used for the RFC call may not have the necessary authorizations.
  System Bugs: There may be bugs in the SAP system that lead to internal errors during RFC processing.
  Transport Layer Issues: Problems in the transport layer, such as issues with the SAP Gateway or the underlying network protocols.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that there are no network issues between the systems involved in the RFC call. You can use tools like ping or traceroute to diagnose connectivity.
  Review RFC Destination Settings:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 and check the configuration of the RFC destination.
  Ensure that the connection type is correct (e.g., T for TCP/IP).
  Test the connection to see if it is working properly.
  
  
  Monitor System Performance: Check the performance of both the source and target systems. Use transaction SM50 or SM66 to monitor active processes and system load.
  Check Authorizations: Verify that the user used for the RFC call has the necessary authorizations to execute the function module or transaction.
  Review SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues related to this error.
  Increase Timeout Settings: If the error is due to timeouts, consider increasing the timeout settings in the RFC destination configuration.
  Check Logs: Review the system logs (transaction SM21) and the developer trace files (transaction ST11) for any additional error messages or clues that could help diagnose the issue.
