How To Fix DMC_IU080 - Client of the RFC destination is not equal to the selected client

DMC_IU080 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DMC_IU - DMC: Messages for Integrated Upgrade

• Message number: 080

• Message text: Client of the RFC destination is not equal to the selected client

What causes this issue?

The current function is supposed to be executed for a certain client in
the target system. However, the used RFC-connection sports a different
client. To start the function the specified client and the client of the
RFC-connection have to be the same, so the actual function is cancelled.
Exceptions to the rule are the two steps "Create Export" and "Start
Export" which can also be started via RFC-connection with client '000'.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Make sure the client of the RFC-connection and the target client
of the receiver system are the same and restart the function.
Alternatively a RFC-connection with client '000' can also be applied for
the worksteps 'Create Export' and 'Start Export'.
