How To Fix SATC_CI_MODE_MSGS020 - Navigation with RFC destination & might fail - press F1 or Help button

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SATC_CI_MODE_MSGS - ATC/Code Inspector: exemption handling

• Message number: 020

• Message text: Navigation with RFC destination & might fail - press F1 or Help button

What causes this issue?

Navigation from an ATC finding to the object it refers to is based on
the technical name of the object.
For some types of objects these technical names can vary from system to
system.
As prerequisite for a successful navigation a mapping of semantic names
to technical names is required in these cases.
In order to perform this mapping, the target system must contain an
appropriate RFC stub (for further details see not 2190113).
The current message shows up only in cases where such a mapping formally
is required, but has failed.
It is supposed to inform you that the subsequent navigation, done on
base of the technical names known from the checked system, might fail.
If by chance the technical names of the checked system and the target
system are equal, the navigation will work, nevertheless.
Otherwise it will fail completely or show an object different from the
expected one.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If the subsequent navigation fails, make sure that a valid RFC stub
exists in the target system and that the involved RFC destination is
valid, too (see note 2190113).
