• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SLOAP/UTILITY018 - No rfc targets maintained in /SLOAP/TARGETSYS table. ?

  The SAP error message /SLOAP/UTILITY018 No RFC targets maintained in /SLOAP/TARGETSYS table typically indicates that the system is unable to find any Remote Function Call (RFC) targets defined in the /SLOAP/TARGETSYS table. This can occur in scenarios where the system is trying to perform operations that require communication with other SAP systems or external systems via RFC.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Configuration: The /SLOAP/TARGETSYS table is expected to have entries that define the RFC destinations. If this table is empty or not properly configured, the system will throw this error.
  Transport Issues: If the system was recently transported or upgraded, the necessary configurations might not have been included or might have been lost.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to view or maintain the RFC targets.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the /SLOAP/TARGETSYS Table:
  
  Use transaction code SE16 or SE16N to view the contents of the /SLOAP/TARGETSYS table.
  If there are no entries, you will need to add the required RFC destinations.
  
  
  
  Maintain RFC Destinations:
  
  Use transaction code SM59 to create or maintain RFC destinations.
  Ensure that the RFC destinations are correctly configured and point to the appropriate systems.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the system was recently upgraded or transported, verify that all necessary configurations were included in the transport request.
  If needed, re-transport the relevant configuration.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and maintain the RFC destinations.
  Check the user roles and profiles to confirm that they include the required permissions.
