How To Fix SCA_DS308 - Enter RFC destination if you want to schedule check runs for &1 in &2

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCA_DS - Datasource

• Message number: 308

• Message text: Enter RFC destination if you want to schedule check runs for &1 in &2

What causes this issue?

You have assigned no RFC destination to object provider &V1&. This does
not matter, unless you need to schedule check runs on base of it in
system &V2&.
Note that
ATC checks scheduled in system &V2& on base of an object provider must
fetch information from the system to be checked via an appropriate RFC
destination. Therefore, they require an object provider with RFC
destination assigned which points to the system that is supposed to be
checked.
If you want to use system &V2& as reference check system, ATC checks
launched in a remote system for a check variant that refers to a check
variant in &V2& require an object provider in &V2& with system = remote
system assigned. For this kind of checks, object providers suffice which
have a system assigned but no RFC destination.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCA_DS308 - Enter RFC destination if you want to schedule check runs for &1 in &2 ?

  The SAP error message SCA_DS308 indicates that you need to specify an RFC (Remote Function Call) destination in order to schedule check runs for a specific object in the system. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Data Services or SAP BusinessObjects Data Services when trying to schedule a job or check run that requires communication with another SAP system or service.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The RFC destination is not defined in the system.
  The RFC destination is defined but not correctly configured.
  The user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified RFC destination.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SCA_DS308 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Define RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Check if the required RFC destination is defined. If not, create a new RFC destination.
  Ensure that the destination type is appropriate (e.g., 3 for a TCP/IP connection).
  
  
  
  Configure RFC Destination:
  
  If the RFC destination exists, verify its configuration:
  
  Check the connection parameters (e.g., target host, system number).
  Test the connection using the "Connection Test" button in SM59 to ensure it is working correctly.
  
  
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user account used to schedule the check runs has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  You may need to check the roles and profiles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Schedule Check Runs:
  
  Once the RFC destination is correctly defined and configured, go back to the scheduling interface and enter the RFC destination when prompted.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Support:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for more details on configuring RFC destinations and scheduling jobs.
  If issues persist, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
