  The SAP error message DMC_DTL230 indicates that there is an issue related to the Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) where a Remote Function Call (RFC) destination is required, or there are shadow Data Dictionary (DDIC) objects that need to be deleted.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Destination: The error typically arises when the system is trying to access a remote system or service, but the required RFC destination is not defined or is incorrectly configured.
  Shadow DDIC Objects: The error can also occur if there are shadow DDIC objects present in the system. Shadow DDIC objects are temporary objects created during data migration processes, and if they are not cleared, they can lead to conflicts or errors.

  Provide RFC Destination:
  
  Check if the required RFC destination is defined in the SAP system.
  Go to transaction SM59 to manage RFC destinations.
  Ensure that the destination is correctly configured and that the connection to the target system is working. You can test the connection from this transaction.

  Delete Shadow DDIC Objects:
  
  If shadow DDIC objects are causing the issue, you can delete them. This can typically be done through the Data Migration Cockpit or by using specific transactions or programs designed to clean up these objects.
