• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAPBC_GLOBAL517 - Remote system change using tRFC scheduled --> will start at & ?

  The SAP error message SAPBC_GLOBAL517 indicates that a remote system change using transactional RFC (tRFC) has been scheduled and will start at a specified time. This message is typically informational rather than an error, and it is related to the asynchronous processing of tRFC calls in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  
  tRFC Scheduling: The message is generated when a tRFC call is scheduled to be executed at a later time. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The target system is currently unavailable.
  The system is configured to process certain requests at specific times.
  There are network issues or other constraints preventing immediate execution.
  
  
  
  Load Balancing: In some cases, the system may be configured to balance loads and schedule requests to avoid overwhelming the target system.
  
  
  System Configuration: The configuration of the SAP system and the remote system may dictate when and how tRFC calls are processed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Monitor tRFC Queue: Check the tRFC queue in transaction SM58. This transaction allows you to monitor the status of tRFC calls and see if there are any that are stuck or have failed.
  
  
  Check Remote System Availability: Ensure that the remote system is available and can accept tRFC calls. If the remote system is down, you may need to wait until it is back online.
  
  
  Review Scheduling Settings: If the scheduling of tRFC calls is intentional, review the settings to ensure they align with your business requirements. You may need to adjust the timing or conditions under which tRFC calls are scheduled.
  
  
  Error Handling: If the tRFC call fails after being scheduled, you may need to implement error handling or retry logic to ensure that the data is eventually processed.
  
  
  System Logs: Check system logs (transaction SLG1) for any related error messages that might provide more context about why the tRFC call was scheduled instead of executed immediately.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for specific configurations related to tRFC and scheduling.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  tRFC (Transactional RFC): A communication method in SAP that allows for the execution of remote function calls in a transactional manner, ensuring that the call is either fully completed or not executed at all.
  SM58: Transaction code used to monitor and manage tRFC calls in SAP.
  SLG1: Transaction code used to view application logs, which can provide insights into issues related to tRFC calls.
  
  If the message persists or if you encounter further issues, it may be beneficial to engage with SAP support or your internal SAP technical team for deeper analysis and resolution.
