• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EDCMP005 - System & is not in table RFCDES ?

  The SAP error message EDCMP005 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 execute a remote function call (RFC) 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 exist but is incorrectly configured (e.g., wrong connection parameters).
  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., T for TCP/IP connections)
  Target Host (the hostname or IP address of the target system)
  System Number (if applicable)
  Logon Data (user credentials for the target system)
  
  
  Test the connection to ensure it is working.
  
  
  
  Check Existing RFC Destination:
  
  If the RFC destination exists, double-check the configuration settings for accuracy.
  Ensure that the connection type, target host, and logon data are correct.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the RFC call 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.
  Use tools like ping or telnet to check connectivity to the target host and port.
  
  
  
  Check for System Availability:
  
  Ensure that the target SAP system is up and running and that the necessary services are active.
