• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCA_DS058 - RFC destination &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message SCA_DS058 indicates that the specified RFC (Remote Function Call) destination does not exist in the system. This error typically occurs when a program or function module attempts to connect to an external system or service using an RFC destination that has not been defined or is incorrectly configured.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent RFC Destination: The specified RFC destination name is not defined in the SAP system.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the RFC destination name in the code or configuration.
  Transport Issues: The RFC destination may not have been transported correctly from a development environment to a production environment.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  Configuration Changes: Changes in the system configuration or network settings may have affected the availability of the RFC destination.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Look for the specified RFC destination in the list.
  If it does not exist, you will need to create it.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify RFC Destination:
  
  If the RFC destination is missing, create a new one by clicking on the "Create" button.
  Fill in the required fields, such as the destination name, connection type, target host, and system number.
  Test the connection to ensure it is working correctly.
  
  
  
  Verify Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the RFC destination is correctly configured with the right parameters (e.g., user credentials, connection type).
  Check if the destination is set to the correct type (e.g., TCP/IP, HTTP).
  
  
  
  Check for Typographical Errors:
  
  Review the code or configuration where the RFC destination is referenced to ensure there are no typos.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the function has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the RFC destination was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was included and successfully imported.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes for any specific configurations or known issues related to the RFC destination.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  ST22: Dump analysis (to check for any related dumps).
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address specific issues related to RFC destinations.
  
  
  Network Configuration: If the RFC destination connects to an external system, ensure that network configurations (firewalls, routing) allow for the connection.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SCA_DS058 error and ensure that the RFC destination is correctly set up and accessible.
