  Authorization Issues: The user credentials used for the RFC connection may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the requested operation.
  
  
  System Availability: The target SAP system may be down or not reachable due to maintenance or other issues.

  Solutions to SDRB113 RFC Error
  
  
  Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that there is proper network connectivity between the systems. You can use tools like ping or traceroute to diagnose network issues.
  
  
  Verify RFC Destination: Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI and check the configuration of the RFC destination. Ensure that all parameters (like hostname, system number, and client) are correct.
  
  
  Test RFC Connection: In transaction SM59, you can test the RFC connection to see if it is working properly. This will help identify if the issue is with the connection itself.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that the user ID used for the RFC connection has the necessary authorizations to execute the required functions.
  
  
  Check System Status: Verify that the target SAP system is up and running. You can check the system status in transaction SM51 or by contacting the system administrator.
  
  
  Review Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SM21) and the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  Increase Timeout Settings: If timeouts are an issue, consider increasing the timeout settings for the RFC connection in the RFC destination configuration.
