• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD_ZA384 - RFC configuration is deactivated. Check will be deactivated ?

  The SAP error message RSDD_ZA384 indicates that the RFC (Remote Function Call) configuration for a specific DataSource or InfoProvider is deactivated. This can occur in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when the system is unable to communicate with the source system due to the RFC configuration being inactive.
  Cause:
  
  Deactivated RFC Destination: The RFC destination that connects the SAP BW system to the source system may be deactivated or incorrectly configured.
  Authorization Issues: The user credentials used for the RFC connection may not have the necessary authorizations.
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues preventing the SAP BW system from reaching the source system.
  Configuration Changes: Recent changes in the system configuration or updates may have inadvertently deactivated the RFC connection.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Locate the relevant RFC destination (usually of type "ABAP Connection").
  Ensure that the destination is activated. If it is deactivated, activate it.
  Test the connection using the "Test Connection" button to ensure it is working properly.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user credentials used for the RFC connection have the necessary authorizations to access the source system.
  Check the roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Network Connectivity:
  
  Verify that there are no network issues preventing communication between the SAP BW system and the source system.
  Check firewall settings, VPN connections, or any other network configurations that might block the connection.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review any recent changes made to the system configuration that might have affected the RFC settings.
  If necessary, revert any changes or reconfigure the settings as needed.
  
  
  
  Re-activate the DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource is deactivated, you may need to reactivate it in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1).
  Navigate to the DataSource and check its status.
