• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_SE_SEARCH070 - Set new RFC Destination: "&1". The old one was "&2" ?

  The SAP error message COM_SE_SEARCH070 indicates that there is an issue with the Remote Function Call (RFC) destination in the context of a search or communication process within the SAP system. This message typically arises when the system attempts to switch from one RFC destination to another, which may be due to various reasons such as configuration changes, network issues, or system updates.
  Cause:
  
  RFC Destination Configuration: The RFC destination that was previously set is no longer valid or has been changed. This could be due to manual changes in the configuration or updates in the system landscape.
  Network Issues: There may be connectivity issues between the SAP system and the target system defined in the RFC destination.
  Authorization Issues: The user or system may not have the necessary authorizations to access the new RFC destination.
  System Updates: Changes in the system, such as upgrades or patches, may have affected the RFC configuration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Verify the settings of the RFC destination that is being referenced in the error message.
  Ensure that the destination is correctly configured and that the connection parameters (like target host, system number, client, etc.) are accurate.
  
  
  
  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  In transaction SM59, select the RFC destination and use the "Connection Test" option to check if the connection is working properly.
  If the test fails, investigate the error message for further clues.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or system has the necessary authorizations to access the new RFC destination.
  Check the roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Check Network Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that there are no network issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the target system.
  You may need to involve your network team to check for firewalls, routing issues, or other network-related problems.
  
  
  
  Consult System Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Review System Changes:
  
  If the issue started occurring after a recent change (like a system upgrade or configuration change), review those changes to identify any potential impacts on the RFC destination.
