• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_CMIS_G138 - No RFC connection to sender system found for package &1 ?

  The SAP error message CNV_CMIS_G138 indicates that there is no Remote Function Call (RFC) connection established to the sender system for the specified package. This error typically occurs in the context of data migration or system conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Conversion Management Information System (CMIS).
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Connection: The most common cause is that the RFC connection to the sender system has not been created or is not active.
  Incorrect Configuration: The RFC destination may be incorrectly configured, leading to connection issues.
  Network Issues: There may be network problems preventing the connection to the sender system.
  Authorization Issues: The user credentials used for the RFC connection may not have the necessary authorizations.
  System Downtime: The sender system may be down or not reachable at the time of the connection attempt.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Connection:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Look for the RFC destination that corresponds to the sender system.
  Test the connection by selecting the RFC destination and clicking on the "Test Connection" button. Ensure that it is successful.
  
  
  
  Create or Update RFC Connection:
  
  If the RFC connection does not exist, create a new one.
  If it exists but is not working, check the configuration settings (such as the target host, system number, and client) and update them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Network Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that there are no network issues preventing access to the sender system. You can use tools like ping or telnet to check connectivity.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:

  Check Sender System Status:
  
  Verify that the sender system is up and running. If it is down, you will need to resolve that issue first.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SM21) and the RFC trace (transaction SM58) for any additional error messages that might provide more context.
