• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMCLG563 - Maintenance of RFC data is not possible in display transaction ?

  The SAP error message DMCLG563, which states "Maintenance of RFC data is not possible in display transaction," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify or maintain Remote Function Call (RFC) data while in a display-only mode. This error is common in transactions that are intended for viewing data rather than editing it.
  Cause:
  
  Display Mode: The user is in a display transaction (e.g., using a display-only version of a transaction) and is trying to make changes to RFC settings or data.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform maintenance tasks on RFC data.
  Transaction Type: The transaction being used is not designed for maintenance, but rather for viewing or displaying information.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Switch to Change Mode: Ensure that you are in the correct transaction for maintaining RFC data. For example, if you are using transaction SM59 (for managing RFC connections), make sure you are not in display mode. You can switch to change mode by selecting the appropriate option or using the correct transaction code.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to maintain RFC data. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator to ensure that your user role has the required permissions.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: If you are using a transaction that is not meant for maintenance, switch to the appropriate transaction that allows for editing. For example, if you need to create or modify an RFC destination, ensure you are using the correct transaction code.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct procedures or transactions, refer to SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on maintaining RFC data.

  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DMCLG563 error and successfully maintain RFC data in your SAP system.
