This error can occur in various scenarios, particularly when working with SAP Gateway or OData services.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect RFC Destination Configuration: The RFC destination specified in the error message may not be configured correctly in the SAP system.
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues between the SAP system and the target system defined in the RFC destination.
  Authorization Issues: The user credentials used for the RFC connection may not have the necessary authorizations to access the target system.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Locate the RFC destination mentioned in the error message.
  Verify that the connection parameters (such as target host, system number, client, user, and password) are correct.
