• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_UNIFIED_CON097 - Function module &1 is not remote enabled ?

  The SAP error message S_UNIFIED_CON097 indicates that a specific function module (FM) is not remote-enabled. This means that the function module cannot be called from a remote system, which is often necessary in scenarios involving Remote Function Calls (RFC) or when using SAP's Business Application Programming Interfaces (BAPIs).
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the function module you are trying to call is not designed to be executed remotely. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The function module is intended for local use only and does not have the necessary settings to be called remotely.
  The function module may be missing the "Remote-Enabled Module" attribute in its properties.
  The function module may be a part of a custom development that was not configured for remote access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Function Module Attributes:
  
  Go to transaction SE37 (Function Module) and enter the name of the function module that is causing the error.
  Check the attributes of the function module. Ensure that the "Remote-Enabled Module" checkbox is checked. If it is not, you will need to modify the function module to enable it for remote calls.
  
  
  
  Modify the Function Module:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can modify the function module to enable it for remote access. This involves:
  
  Setting the "Remote-Enabled Module" option.
  Ensuring that the function module does not contain any statements that are not allowed in remote-enabled modules (e.g., certain types of database operations or GUI-related calls).
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review the documentation for the function module to understand its intended use and whether it should be called remotely. If it is not designed for remote access, consider using an alternative function module that is remote-enabled.
  
  
  
  Contact Development Team:
  
  If you are not the developer of the function module, reach out to the development team or the person responsible for the module to discuss the need for remote access and whether it can be modified accordingly.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Approaches:
  
  If modifying the function module is not feasible, consider using other methods to achieve your goal, such as using a different function module that is already remote-enabled or implementing a different integration approach.
