• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH432 - RFC destination is not maintained (see RS2HANA_CHECK) ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH432 indicates that the RFC (Remote Function Call) destination required for connecting to the SAP HANA database is not properly maintained. This error typically arises when trying to execute a report or transaction that requires access to HANA data but cannot establish a connection due to the missing or misconfigured RFC destination.
  Cause
  The primary cause of this error is that the RFC destination needed for the connection to the HANA database is either not created, incorrectly configured, or not accessible. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing RFC Destination: The required RFC destination for HANA is not set up in the SAP system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The existing RFC destination may have incorrect parameters, such as the wrong host, port, or credentials.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH432 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Look for the RFC destination that is supposed to connect to the HANA database (usually named something like HANA_<SID>).
  If it does not exist, you will need to create it.
  
  
  
  Create or Maintain RFC Destination:
  
  If the RFC destination is missing, create a new one:
  
  Click on "Create" and enter the necessary details:
  
  RFC Destination: Name it appropriately (e.g., HANA_<SID>).
  Connection Type: Choose the appropriate type (usually "3" for TCP/IP connections).
  Target Host: Enter the hostname or IP address of the HANA server.
  Instance Number: Specify the instance number of the HANA database.
  Logon Data: Provide the necessary credentials (username and password) for the HANA database.
  
  
  
  
  If it exists but is misconfigured, select it and click on "Change" to update the parameters.
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
  
  After creating or modifying the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" button in SM59 to ensure that the connection to the HANA database is successful.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination. This may involve checking roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Check for Additional Notes:
  
  Sometimes, SAP notes or documentation may provide additional context or specific configurations required for your version of SAP and HANA. Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes.
