• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCA_DS062 - RFC destination &1 points to system &2, not &3 ?

  The SAP error message SCA_DS062 indicates that there is a mismatch between the RFC destination configuration and the expected system. Specifically, it means that the RFC destination you are trying to use points to a different system than the one that is expected.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect RFC Destination Configuration: The RFC destination is configured to point to a different SAP system than the one you are currently working with.
  System Change: The system you are trying to connect to may have changed, and the RFC destination has not been updated accordingly.
  Transport Layer Issues: If you are working in a transport layer, the destination might have been incorrectly transported or not updated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Locate the RFC destination that is causing the error.
  Verify that the target system (the one you are trying to connect to) is correctly configured in the RFC destination settings.
  
  
  
  Update the RFC Destination:
  
  If the RFC destination is pointing to the wrong system, update it to point to the correct system.
  Ensure that the connection parameters (like the system ID, client, user, password, etc.) are correct.
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
  
  After making changes, use the "Test Connection" feature in SM59 to ensure that the RFC destination is working correctly and points to the right system.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check if the transport included the correct RFC destination settings.
  If necessary, re-transport the correct settings or manually adjust them in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct settings, consult your system documentation or reach out to your SAP Basis team for assistance.
