• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_LMCFG_OSS_TASKS040 - Proxy setting active in client &1; Entry: &2 added to filter list ?

  The SAP error message S_LMCFG_OSS_TASKS040 indicates that there is a proxy setting active in the specified client (denoted by &1), and an entry (denoted by &2) has been added to the filter list. This typically occurs when there are issues related to the configuration of the SAP system's connection to external services, such as SAP Support or other remote services.
  Cause:
  
  Proxy Configuration: The error usually arises when the system is configured to use a proxy server for outbound connections, but the specific entry (like an IP address or hostname) is not allowed through the proxy settings.
  Filter List: The entry that has been added to the filter list indicates that the system is blocking certain connections based on the current proxy settings. This could be due to security policies or misconfigurations.
  Client-Specific Settings: The error is client-specific, meaning that the proxy settings may differ from one client to another within the same SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Proxy Settings:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations) and check the settings for the relevant RFC destination that is trying to connect through the proxy.
  Ensure that the proxy settings are correctly configured and that the destination is reachable.
  
  
  
  Adjust Filter List:
  
  If the entry that is being blocked is legitimate, you may need to adjust the filter list. This can typically be done in the transaction SICF (HTTP Service Hierarchy Maintenance) or through the relevant configuration settings in the SAP system.
  You may need to add the entry to the allowed list or modify the existing proxy settings to permit the connection.
  
  
  
  Consult Basis Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can provide insights into the network configuration and help adjust the proxy settings as needed.
