• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PPECUSTEKGR3E004 - Attempt to gain reading access to table & by RFC has failed ?

  The SAP error message PPECUSTEKGR3E004 indicates that there was an attempt to gain reading access to a specific table via Remote Function Call (RFC), but the attempt has failed. This error typically arises due to authorization issues or configuration problems in the SAP system.
  Causes:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user or the RFC connection may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified table. This is the most common cause of this error.
  Table Locking: The table might be locked by another process, preventing access.
  Incorrect RFC Configuration: The RFC destination may not be configured correctly, leading to access issues.
  Network Issues: There could be network-related problems that prevent the RFC call from being completed successfully.
  Missing or Incorrect Table Name: The table name specified in the RFC call might be incorrect or does not exist.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or the RFC connection has the necessary authorizations to access the table. You can do this by checking the user roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see if there are any missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review RFC Configuration:
  
  Check the RFC destination configuration in transaction SM59. Ensure that the connection is set up correctly and that the target system is reachable.
  Test the RFC connection using the "Connection Test" feature in SM59.
  
  
  
  Check Table Locking:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check if the table is locked by another user or process. If it is, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user holding the lock.
  
  
  
  Network Troubleshooting:
  
  Verify network connectivity between the systems involved in the RFC call. Check for any firewalls or network issues that might be blocking the connection.
  
  
  
  Verify Table Name:
  
  Double-check the table name being accessed in the RFC call. Ensure that it is spelled correctly and that the table exists in the target system.
