• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/GLOBAL_METADATA049 - eCATT &1 is assigned to different BB's which belong to different RFC's ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/GLOBAL_METADATA049 typically occurs in the context of eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) when there is a conflict in the assignment of a test script (eCATT script) to different Business Processes (BBs) that are associated with different RFC (Remote Function Call) destinations. This can happen when the same eCATT script is being used in multiple contexts that are not compatible due to their RFC settings.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Assignments: The eCATT script is assigned to different Business Processes (BBs) that are configured to use different RFC destinations. This can lead to conflicts because the script may not be able to execute properly if it is trying to access resources or systems that are not compatible with the assigned RFC.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the eCATT settings or the Business Processes that lead to this error.
  Inconsistent RFC Settings: The RFC destinations for the different Business Processes may have different settings or point to different systems, causing the conflict.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review Assignments: Check the assignments of the eCATT script to the Business Processes. Ensure that the script is only assigned to BBs that use the same RFC destination.
  Modify RFC Settings: If necessary, modify the RFC settings for the Business Processes to ensure they are consistent and compatible with the eCATT script.
  Reassign eCATT Script: If the eCATT script needs to be used across different Business Processes, consider creating separate versions of the script for each RFC destination or reassigning the script to a single Business Process that uses a common RFC.
  Check eCATT Configuration: Ensure that the eCATT configuration is correct and that there are no other underlying issues that could be causing the conflict.
  
  Related Information:
  
  eCATT Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for eCATT for detailed information on how to configure and manage test scripts and Business Processes.
  RFC Configuration: Review the RFC configuration in transaction SM59 to ensure that the destinations are set up correctly.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your eCATT scripts are functioning correctly within the assigned Business Processes.
