• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6PM367 - RFC Destination &1 is not an ABAP Connection ?

  The SAP error message DB6PM367 indicates that the specified RFC (Remote Function Call) destination is not configured as an ABAP connection. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to connect to a database or system using an RFC destination that is not set up correctly for ABAP communication.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect RFC Destination Type: The RFC destination you are trying to use is not defined as an ABAP connection. It may be defined as a TCP/IP connection or another type that does not support ABAP calls.
  Configuration Issues: The RFC destination may not be properly configured in the SAP system, leading to the inability to establish a connection.
  Network Issues: There could be network-related issues preventing the connection from being established, although this is less likely to trigger this specific error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Locate the RFC destination that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the destination type is set to ABAP Connection. If it is not, you will need to create a new RFC destination with the correct settings.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify RFC Destination:
  
  If the destination does not exist or is incorrectly configured, create a new RFC destination:
  
  Click on "Create" or "Change" in SM59.
  Set the connection type to ABAP Connection.
  Fill in the necessary details such as the target host, system number, client, user, password, etc.
  
  
  Save the changes and test the connection to ensure it works.
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
  
  After configuring the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" feature in SM59 to verify that the connection can be established successfully.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user credentials used in the RFC destination have the necessary authorizations to connect to the target system.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  If the issue persists, check the system logs (transaction SM21) and the developer trace (transaction ST11) for any additional error messages that might provide more context.
