• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/BB_INSTALLER099 - Report & is not available in the system assigned to & RFC destination ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/BB_INSTALLER099 Report & is not available in the system assigned to & RFC destination typically indicates that a specific report or program is not found in the SAP system that is connected via the specified RFC (Remote Function Call) destination. This can occur in various scenarios, especially when dealing with SAP Business ByDesign or other SAP solutions that rely on remote connections.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Report/Program: The report or program specified in the error message is not installed or activated in the target SAP system.
  Incorrect RFC Destination: The RFC destination may be incorrectly configured, pointing to a system that does not have the required report.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the report in the target system.
  Transport Issues: The report may not have been transported to the target system if it was developed or modified in a different environment.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Report Availability:
  
  Verify if the report is available in the target system. You can do this by logging into the target system and checking if the report exists in the appropriate transaction (e.g., SE38 for ABAP programs).
  
  
  
  Verify RFC Destination:
  
  Check the configuration of the RFC destination in transaction SM59. Ensure that it points to the correct system and that the connection is working properly.
  Test the RFC connection to ensure it is functioning as expected.
  
  
  
  Transport the Report:
  
  If the report is missing, you may need to transport it from the development system to the target system. This can be done using the Transport Management System (TMS).
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the report has the necessary authorizations in the target system. You can check this using transaction SU53 after attempting to run the report.
