• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CL_TM_SIC_FWS_INT004 - RFC connection &1 not found for logical system &2. See SAP note &3 ?

  The SAP error message CL_TM_SIC_FWS_INT004 indicates that there is an issue with the RFC (Remote Function Call) connection in your SAP system. Specifically, it states that the RFC connection for a specified logical system could not be found. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Connection: The specified RFC connection does not exist in the system. This could be due to it not being created or being deleted.
  Incorrect Logical System Configuration: The logical system name may be incorrectly configured or may not match the expected naming conventions.
  Transport Layer Issues: If the system is part of a transport layer, there may be issues with the transport routes or configurations.
  Authorization Issues: The user or system may not have the necessary authorizations to access the RFC connection.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Connections:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Look for the RFC connection that corresponds to the logical system mentioned in the error message.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create it.
  
  
  
  Create or Adjust RFC Connection:
  
  If the RFC connection is missing, create a new one by clicking on "Create" and filling in the necessary details (like connection type, target host, system number, etc.).
  Ensure that the logical system name is correctly specified.
  
  
  
  Verify Logical System Configuration:
  
  Check the logical system configuration in transaction SALE (or SPRO for customizing).
  Ensure that the logical system is correctly defined and that it matches the RFC connection.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Routes:
  
  If applicable, verify the transport routes in transaction STMS to ensure that the logical system is correctly included in the transport landscape.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user or system has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC connection. This may involve checking roles and profiles assigned to the user.
