• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STOR_MISC190 - RFC destination '&1' does not exist ?

  The SAP error message "ILM_STOR_MISC190 RFC destination '&1' does not exist" typically indicates that the system is trying to access a Remote Function Call (RFC) destination that has not been defined in the SAP system. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) or when integrating with external systems.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Destination: The specified RFC destination (represented by &1 in the error message) has not been created or is incorrectly configured in the SAP system.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the name of the RFC destination being referenced.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  System Configuration: The system may not be properly configured to connect to the external system or service that the RFC destination points to.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Look for the RFC destination that corresponds to the name indicated in the error message.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create it. If it exists, check its configuration for correctness.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify RFC Destination:
  
  If the RFC destination is missing, create a new one by clicking on "Create" and filling in the necessary details (like target host, system number, client, etc.).
  If it exists but is misconfigured, modify it to ensure that all parameters are correct.
  
  
  
  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:
  
  Ensure that the user or service account that is trying to access the RFC destination has the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  If the RFC destination is supposed to be provided by a third-party system or service, consult the relevant documentation to ensure that it is set up correctly.
