How To Fix DPR_EVE606 - Cannot determine RFC destination for alert server

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DPR_EVE - Messages for Connecting Evaluations

• Message number: 606

• Message text: Cannot determine RFC destination for alert server

What causes this issue?

Setting or changing a severity should trigger an alert for alert
category CPROJECTS_SEVERITY. However, you have not set up an RFC
destination for the alert server yet.

System Response

The system cannot use the default alert category CPROJECTS_SEVERITY if
you have not defined the destination of the alert server and therefore,
it does not trigger an alert.

How to fix this error?

Call transaction <DS:TRAN.SALRT1>SALRT1</> and set up an RFC
destination:
If you are using the alert server locally or if the system you are using
serves as a central alert server, enter the RFC destination
<LB>NONE</>.
Otherwise, enter the logical RFC destination of the external alert
server.
Note that the default alert category CPROJECTS_SEVERITY must be known to
the central alert server in order for the alert to be triggered.

Procedure for System Administrators

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