• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSSC_DBA003 - RFC destination call &1 failed or does not exist ?

  The SAP error message PSSC_DBA003 indicates that there is an issue with an RFC (Remote Function Call) destination in your SAP system. This error typically occurs when the specified RFC destination is either not configured correctly, does not exist, or is not reachable.
  Causes:
  
  Non-existent RFC Destination: The specified RFC destination does not exist in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The RFC destination is configured incorrectly, such as wrong connection parameters (like hostname, system number, client, user credentials, etc.).
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user credentials used for the RFC call may not have the necessary authorizations to access the target system.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Look for the RFC destination mentioned in the error message.
  Verify that it exists and is configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Test Connection:
  
  In transaction SM59, select the RFC destination and use the "Connection Test" option to check if the connection is working.
  If the test fails, check the configuration settings.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the connection parameters (like hostname, system number, client, user, and password) are correct.
  If using a TCP/IP connection, ensure that the correct protocol is selected.
  
  
  
  Check Network Connectivity:
