• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PSSC_TOOLS400 - Execute search before calling transaction BGRFCMON ?

  The SAP error message "PSSC_TOOLS400 Execute search before calling transaction BGRFCMON" typically indicates that you are trying to access the BGRFCMON transaction without having performed a necessary prerequisite action, which is executing a search.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the BGRFCMON transaction is designed to monitor background RFC (Remote Function Call) processes. Before you can view or analyze the data in BGRFCMON, you need to execute a search to filter the relevant data. If you attempt to access the transaction without performing this search, the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Execute a Search: 
  
  Open the BGRFCMON transaction.
  Perform a search by entering the necessary parameters (like destination, status, etc.) to filter the data you want to monitor.
  After executing the search, the system will display the relevant entries.
  
  
  
  Check for Filters: 
  
  Ensure that you have set the appropriate filters for your search. If no filters are set, the system may not return any results, leading to confusion.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation: 
  
  If you are unsure about the parameters to use for the search, refer to the SAP documentation or help files related to BGRFCMON for guidance on how to set up your search criteria.
  
  
  
  User Permissions: 
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access the BGRFCMON transaction and view the data. Lack of permissions can sometimes lead to unexpected behavior.
