  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  After creating or modifying the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" feature in SM59 to ensure that the connection is working properly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:

  Review Network Configuration:
  
  Check for any network issues that might be preventing the connection. This could involve checking firewalls, VPNs, or other network settings.
  
  
  
  Consult System Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages that might provide more context about the issue.
