• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PU746 - Destination &2 missing for application type &1 (APPL_HTTP) ?

  The SAP error message PU746 indicates that there is a missing destination for a specific application type, in this case, HTTP. This error typically arises when the system is trying to access an external service or application via HTTP, but the required destination configuration is not set up correctly in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing HTTP Destination: The HTTP destination that the application is trying to reach is not defined in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The destination may be defined but incorrectly configured (e.g., wrong URL, missing authentication details).
  Transport Issues: The destination might be missing in the transport layer, especially if the system has recently been transported from another environment.
  Authorization Issues: The user or service account may not have the necessary authorizations to access the destination.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Define the HTTP Destination:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Check if the destination is listed under the appropriate category (e.g., HTTP Connection).
  If it is missing, create a new HTTP destination:
  
  Click on "Create" and enter the required details such as:
  
  Destination Name
  Target Host (the server you want to connect to)
  Path Prefix (if applicable)
  HTTP Protocol (HTTP or HTTPS)
  
  
  Save the configuration.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  If the destination exists, double-check the configuration settings:
  
  Ensure the target host and path are correct.
  Verify that any required authentication (Basic Auth, OAuth, etc.) is properly set up.
  
  
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
  
  After creating or modifying the destination, use the "Connection Test" feature in SM59 to ensure that the connection to the external service is successful.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or service account that is trying to access the destination has the necessary authorizations to do so.
  
  
  
  Transport Considerations:
  
  If the destination was supposed to be transported from another system, ensure that the transport request containing the destination configuration has been imported successfully.
