What causes this issue?

This error may arise from a number of causes:
To establish a connection between CRM and the RFC Gateway, an RFC
destination (table RFCDES; transaction SM59) was used. Check which RFC
destination is entered in table CRMC_EXT_SERVER for the connection you
require, then use transaction SM59 to check whether this RFC
destination is actually maintained and that the details there are
correct.
It may be that the RFC Gateway was not started on the Windows machine,
or that the Windows machine cannot be reached from the CRM server via
the network. Contact the administrator responsible for the Windows
machine.
