  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Network Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that the SAP system can reach the HTTP destination. You can use tools like ping or telnet to test connectivity.
  
  
  
  Verify HTTP Destination Configuration:

  Check Server Status:

  Review Firewall Settings:
  
  Check if there are any firewall rules that might be blocking the HTTP request from the SAP system to the target server.
  
  
  
  SSL/TLS Configuration:
  
  If using HTTPS, ensure that the SSL certificates are valid and properly configured in the SAP system. You may need to import the server's SSL certificate into the SAP trust store.
