  Review Network Configuration:
  
  If the RFC destination is configured correctly but still not working, check for any network issues that may be preventing the connection.
  
  
  
  Check for Typographical Errors:
  
  Double-check the name of the RFC destination in your code or configuration to ensure there are no typos.
