• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMC_RT_MSG117 - Function module couldn't be started in destination 'NONE': &1 ?

  The SAP error message DMC_RT_MSG117 indicates that a function module could not be started in the specified destination, which in this case is 'NONE'. This error typically arises in the context of Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) or when using Remote Function Call (RFC) in SAP systems.
  Causes:
  
  Destination Configuration: The destination 'NONE' suggests that there is no valid RFC destination configured for the function module to connect to. This could be due to misconfiguration or the destination not being set up at all.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the function may not have the necessary authorizations to call the function module.
  Network Issues: If the function module is supposed to connect to a remote system, network issues could prevent the connection.
  Function Module Issues: The function module itself may have issues, such as being inactive or not existing in the system.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the system configuration that prevent the function module from being executed.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 and check if the RFC destination is correctly configured. If 'NONE' is being used, ensure that the correct destination is specified in your configuration.
  If you need to create a new RFC destination, ensure that it points to the correct system and is tested successfully.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the function module. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs to see if there are any authorization failures.
  
  
  
  Check Function Module:
  
  Verify that the function module exists and is active. You can check this in transaction SE37. If it is inactive, activate it.
  
  
  
  Network Connectivity:
  
  If the function module is supposed to connect to a remote system, check the network connectivity between the systems. Ensure that firewalls or network settings are not blocking the connection.
  
  
  
  System Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
