• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_AUDIT068 - No RFC connection maintained for object &2 ?

  The SAP error message PLM_AUDIT068 indicates that there is no Remote Function Call (RFC) connection maintained for the specified object. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) when the system attempts to access or process data that requires an RFC connection, but the connection is either not established or not properly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Connection: The required RFC connection for the specified object (indicated by &2 in the error message) is not defined in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The RFC connection may be incorrectly configured, leading to connectivity issues.
  Network Issues: There may be network problems preventing the SAP system from reaching the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the RFC connection.
  System Configuration Changes: Changes in system configuration or updates may have affected the existing RFC connections.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Connection:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Look for the RFC connection related to the object specified in the error message.
  Ensure that the connection is defined and active.
  
  
  
  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  In transaction SM59, select the RFC connection and use the "Test Connection" option to verify that it is working correctly.
  If the test fails, check the connection parameters, such as the target host, system number, and client.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the RFC destination is correctly configured with the appropriate settings (e.g., user credentials, connection type).
  If necessary, consult with your Basis team to verify the configuration.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to use the RFC connection.
  Review roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Network Troubleshooting:
  
  If the connection is configured correctly but still fails, check for any network issues that may be preventing communication between the systems.
  Ensure that firewalls or network policies are not blocking the connection.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific RFC connection and the PLM module for any additional troubleshooting steps.
