• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/R_ERP_RFC_DEST007 - RFC destination &1 is not of type 3=connection to ABAP system ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/R_ERP_RFC_DEST007 indicates that the RFC destination specified is not of the correct type for connecting to an ABAP system. Specifically, it states that the destination is not of type 3, which is required for a connection to an ABAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect RFC Destination Type: The RFC destination you are trying to use is not configured as a type 3 destination. Type 3 destinations are used for connections to ABAP systems.
  Configuration Issues: The RFC destination may not be properly configured in the SAP system, or it may have been deleted or changed.
  Network Issues: There could be network-related issues preventing the connection to the ABAP system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Locate the RFC destination that is causing the error.
  Ensure that the destination is of type 3 (ABAP connection). If it is not, you will need to create a new RFC destination of type 3 or modify the existing one.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify RFC Destination:
  
  If you need to create a new RFC destination:
  
  Click on "Create" and enter the necessary details.
  Set the connection type to "3" (ABAP connection).
  Fill in the required fields such as Target Host, System Number, Client, User, Password, etc.
  
  
  If modifying, ensure that the connection type is set to 3 and that all other parameters are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  After configuring the RFC destination, use the "Connection Test" feature in SM59 to verify that the connection is working properly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user credentials used in the RFC destination have the necessary authorizations to connect to the target ABAP system.
  
  
  
  Network Configuration:
  
  If the RFC destination is correctly configured but still not working, check for any network issues that might be preventing the connection. This could include firewall settings, network routing, or DNS issues.
