• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDM_MIRROR052 - Function &1 does not exist in original system (with logical system &2) ?

  The SAP error message FDM_MIRROR052 indicates that a function module or a method that is expected to exist in the original system (identified by the logical system) is not found. This error typically arises in the context of data replication or when using the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or SAP Data Services.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Function Module: The function module or method specified in the error message does not exist in the original system. This could be due to:
  
  The function module was not created or activated.
  The function module was deleted or renamed.
  The function module is part of a specific package that is not installed in the original system.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Logical System Configuration: The logical system configuration might be pointing to the wrong system or an incorrect version of the system where the function module is not available.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the function module was recently transported from a development system to a production system, there may have been issues during the transport process.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Function Module Existence:
  
  Go to transaction SE37 (Function Builder) or SE80 (Object Navigator) in the original system (logical system &2) and check if the function module &1 exists.
  If it does not exist, you may need to create it or transport it from another system where it is available.
  
  
  
  Verify Logical System Configuration:
  
  Check the logical system settings in transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations) to ensure that the logical system is correctly configured and pointing to the right system.
  Ensure that the connection is active and that you can reach the original system.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the function module was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs for any errors or issues during the transport process.
  If necessary, re-transport the function module from the development system to the target system.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Sometimes, function modules depend on other objects (like tables, data elements, etc.). Ensure that all dependencies are also present in the original system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the function module is part of a specific SAP application or add-on, consult the relevant SAP documentation or support notes for any prerequisites or installation steps.
