This error is often encountered during data migration activities, especially when using tools like SAP's Landscape Transformation (SLT) or other data migration solutions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Destination: The most common cause is that the required RFC destination has not been defined in the SAP system.

  Test RFC Connection:
  
  After defining the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" feature in SM59 to ensure that the connection is working properly.

  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If you are using a specific migration tool or program, review its configuration settings to ensure that the correct RFC destination is specified.
