SB170 - Details

• The SAP error message SB170, which states "The specified destination does not match the target system," typically occurs in the context of SAP's communication and connectivity features, such as when using the SAP Business Connector, RFC (Remote Function Call), or when trying to connect to a different system via a defined destination.
  
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Destination Configuration: The destination defined in the SAP system does not match the target system's configuration. This could be due to incorrect parameters such as the system ID, client number, or connection type.
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user or service account may not have the necessary permissions to access the target system.
  System Mismatch: The target system may not be properly configured to accept connections from the source system, or it may not be running.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Verify the configuration
