• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_DSM016 - Application exits are not allowed in remote services (service &1) ?

  The SAP error message FDT_DSM016 indicates that application exits are not permitted in remote services. This error typically occurs when a function module or method that is being called remotely (via RFC - Remote Function Call) attempts to execute an application exit, which is not allowed in the context of remote calls.
  Cause:
  
  Application Exit Usage: The function module or method being called is trying to use an application exit (like a user exit or BAdI) that is not supported in a remote context.
  Remote Function Call (RFC): The function is being executed in a remote context, and the system is designed to prevent certain operations (like application exits) from being executed in this context for stability and security reasons.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Function Module/Method: Check the function module or method that is causing the error. Identify if it is trying to call an application exit.
  Modify Logic: If possible, modify the logic to avoid using application exits in the remote function call. This may involve:
  
  Refactoring the code to remove the dependency on application exits.
  Implementing alternative logic that does not require application exits.
  
  
  Use Local Calls: If the application exit is essential, consider redesigning the process to use local calls instead of remote calls where the application exit can be executed safely.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific function module or method to understand its limitations and recommended practices.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or solutions for this error.
  Function Module Documentation: Look into the documentation of the specific function module or method to understand its intended use and limitations.
  Debugging: If you have access to the system, you can debug the function call to see exactly where the application exit is being invoked and adjust accordingly.
