• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPC199 - Steps to configure SSL encrypted http destination ?

  The SAP error message RSPC199 typically indicates an issue related to the configuration of an HTTP destination in the SAP system, particularly when SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption is involved. This error can occur when trying to connect to an external system securely over HTTPS.
  Cause
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  Incorrect SSL Configuration: The SSL settings for the HTTP destination may not be configured correctly.
  Missing SSL Certificates: The required SSL certificates may not be installed or may not be trusted by the SAP system.
  Network Issues: There may be network-related issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the external server.
  Incorrect HTTP Destination Settings: The HTTP destination may have incorrect parameters, such as the URL, authentication method, or proxy settings.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the RSPC199 error and configure SSL encrypted HTTP destinations, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check SSL Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the SSL settings are correctly configured in the SAP system.
  Go to transaction STRUST to manage SSL certificates.
  
  
  
  Import SSL Certificates:
  
  If the external server uses a self-signed certificate or a certificate from a non-trusted CA (Certificate Authority), you need to import the server's SSL certificate into the SAP system's trust store.
  Use the STRUST transaction to import the certificate:
  
  Open STRUST.
  Select the appropriate SSL client (e.g., "SSL Client (Standard)").
  Import the certificate by clicking on the "Import" button and selecting the certificate file.
  
  
  
  
  
  Configure HTTP Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 to configure the HTTP destination.
  Create or modify the HTTP destination:
  
  Ensure that the destination type is set to "HTTP Connection to External Server."
  Use the correct URL (including "https://").
  Set the appropriate authentication method (e.g., Basic Authentication, if required).
  Ensure that the "SSL" checkbox is checked.
  
  
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
  
  After configuring the HTTP destination, use the "Connection Test" feature in SM59 to verify that the connection works correctly.
  If the test fails, check the error messages for more details.
  
  
  
  Check Network Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that there are no firewall or network issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the external server.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the SAP system logs (transaction SM21) and the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages that may provide more context.
