  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LAW_MESSAGES234 - RFC destination is not maintained for system &1 ?

    The SAP error message LAW_MESSAGES234 indicates that there is an issue with the RFC (Remote Function Call) destination for a specific system. This error typically arises when the system is trying to communicate with another SAP system or external system, but the necessary RFC destination is not configured or maintained in the SAP system.

    Cause:

    1. Missing RFC Destination: The specified RFC destination for the target system is not created or is not maintained correctly in the SAP system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The RFC destination may exist but could be incorrectly configured (e.g., wrong connection parameters, incorrect user credentials).
    3. Authorization Issues: The user or system trying to access the RFC destination may not have the necessary authorizations.
    4. Network Issues: There could be network connectivity issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the target system.

    Solution:

    1. Create or Maintain RFC Destination:

      • Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
      • Check if the RFC destination for the system specified in the error message exists.
      • If it does not exist, create a new RFC destination by clicking on "Create" and filling in the required details (e.g., connection type, target host, system number, etc.).
      • If it exists, ensure that all the connection parameters are correct and that the destination is properly configured.
    2. Test the RFC Connection:

      • After creating or maintaining the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" feature in transaction SM59 to verify that the connection works correctly.
    3. Check Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user or system has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination. This may involve checking roles and profiles assigned to the user.
    4. Network Configuration:

      • If the RFC destination is correctly configured but still not working, check for any network issues that may be preventing communication between the systems. This may involve checking firewalls, VPNs, or other network settings.
    5. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to RFC configuration for additional guidance.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SM59: RFC Destinations (Display/Maintain)
      • SU01: User Maintenance (to check user authorizations)
    • SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address specific issues related to RFC destinations.
    • System Logs: Check system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages that may provide more context about the issue.
