• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DS180 - System & is not in table RFCDES ?

  The SAP error message DS180 indicates that the system you are trying to connect to is not defined in the RFC destination table (RFCDES). This typically occurs when you attempt to establish a Remote Function Call (RFC) connection to a system that has not been properly configured in your SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Destination: The target system is not defined in the RFC destination table (RFCDES).
  Incorrect Configuration: The RFC destination may be incorrectly configured or the connection parameters may be wrong.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues preventing access to the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define the RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Check if the target system is listed. If not, create a new RFC destination.
  Click on "Create" and fill in the required details such as:
  
  RFC Destination Name
  Connection Type (e.g., 3 for TCP/IP connections)
  Target Host (hostname or IP address of the target system)
  System Number (if applicable)
  Logon Data (user credentials for the target system)
  
  
  Test the connection using the "Test Connection" button to ensure it is working correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the connection parameters (hostname, system number, etc.) are correct.
  Verify that the target system is up and running.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  Check the roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Network Connectivity:
  
  Verify that there are no network issues preventing access to the target system.
  Check firewall settings, VPN connections, or any other network configurations that might block the connection.
