• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL517 - Remote system change using tRFC scheduled --> will start at & ?

  The SAP error message /SAPQUERY/BC_GLOBAL517 Remote system change using tRFC scheduled --> will start at & typically indicates that a remote function call (tRFC) has been scheduled to execute at a later time. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that a process is queued for execution.
  Cause:
  
  
  tRFC Scheduling: The message is generated when a tRFC (Transactional Remote Function Call) is scheduled to be executed. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The remote system is currently unavailable.
  There are network issues preventing immediate execution.
  The system is configured to handle certain operations asynchronously.
  
  
  
  Load on the System: If the system is under heavy load, it may delay the execution of certain tasks, leading to the scheduling of tRFC calls.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured to handle certain operations in a delayed manner for performance reasons.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Monitor the tRFC Queue: Check the tRFC queue to see if the scheduled task is executed successfully after the specified time. You can use transaction SM58 to monitor the status of tRFC calls.
  
  
  Check Remote System Availability: Ensure that the remote system is available and can accept the tRFC calls. If the remote system is down, you may need to resolve the issue on that end.
  
  
  Network Connectivity: Verify that there are no network issues preventing communication between the systems.
  
  
  Performance Tuning: If the system is under heavy load, consider performance tuning to improve response times and reduce delays in processing.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to tRFC and ensure they are set appropriately for your business needs.
  
  
  Error Handling: If the tRFC call fails after being scheduled, investigate the error logs for more details on the failure. You can use transaction SM21 to check the system log for any related errors.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  tRFC: Transactional Remote Function Call is a mechanism in SAP that allows for the execution of remote function calls in a way that ensures that the call is executed exactly once, even in the case of system failures.
  Monitoring Tools: Use transaction codes like SM58 (for monitoring tRFC), SMQ1 (for monitoring qRFC), and SLG1 (for application logs) to troubleshoot and monitor remote calls.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to tRFC and remote system communication.
  
  If the issue persists or if you encounter specific errors related to the tRFC calls, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or refer to SAP support for further assistance.
