• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDEST105 - If the destination has a password, &1 must not be overridden. ?

  The SAP error message SDEST105 typically occurs when there is an issue with the configuration of a destination in the SAP system, particularly when dealing with RFC (Remote Function Call) destinations. This error indicates that the destination you are trying to use has a password set, and the system is preventing you from overriding it.
  Cause:
  The error message SDEST105 is triggered under the following circumstances:
  
  You are trying to create or modify an RFC destination that requires a password.
  The system is configured to prevent the password from being overridden for security reasons.
  You may be attempting to connect to a destination that has been set up with specific credentials, and the system is enforcing these credentials.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SDEST105 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 (RFC Destinations).
  Locate the destination that is causing the error.
  Verify the settings, especially the "Logon & Security" tab, to see if a password is set.
  
  
  
  Avoid Overriding Password:
  
  If you are trying to override the password, you should not do so if the destination is configured to require a password. Instead, use the existing password.
  If you need to change the password, do it directly in the destination configuration rather than trying to override it in your code or settings.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Credentials:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct user credentials that match the destination's configuration.
  If you need to change the user or password, update it in the destination settings.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to modify the RFC destination settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the settings or how to proceed, consult the SAP documentation or your system administrator for guidance.
