  The SAP error message SDEST094 indicates that there has been a change in the technical proxy data, and as a result, a new password must be set. This typically occurs in scenarios involving communication between systems, such as when using SAP's RFC (Remote Function Call) or when integrating with other systems.
  Cause:
  
  Technical User Changes: The password for a technical user (used for RFC connections) has been changed or reset.
  System Configuration Changes: Changes in the configuration of the system or the communication settings may have led to the requirement for a new password.
  Security Policies: Security policies may enforce password changes after a certain period or after specific events.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SDEST094 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Technical User: Determine which technical user is associated with the RFC connection that is causing the error.
  
  
  Reset the Password:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Enter the technical user ID and click on the "Change" button.
  Navigate to the "Logon Data" tab and set a new password.
  Ensure that the password meets the security requirements set by your organization.
  
  
  
  Update RFC Destination:

  Find the relevant RFC destination that uses the technical user.
  Edit the RFC destination and update the password in the "Logon & Security" tab.
  Save the changes.
  
  
  
  Test the Connection: After updating the password, test the RFC connection to ensure that it is working correctly. You can do this by selecting the RFC destination and clicking on the "Connection Test" button.
  
  
  Check for Other Dependencies: If the technical user is used in multiple places (e.g., in multiple RFC destinations or in background jobs), ensure that all instances are updated with the new password.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Security Best Practices: Regularly review and update passwords for technical users to comply with security policies.
