• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SNC724 - SNC server name not set ?

  The SAP error message SNC724: SNC server name not set typically indicates that the Secure Network Communications (SNC) configuration is incomplete or incorrect. This error occurs when the SNC server name is not specified in the SAP system configuration, which is necessary for establishing secure connections.
  Cause:
  
  Missing SNC Server Name: The SNC server name is not defined in the SAP profile parameters.
  Incorrect Configuration: The SNC parameters may be incorrectly set or not set at all.
  Profile Issues: The instance profile or the default profile may not have the necessary SNC parameters configured.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SNC724 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check SNC Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction RZ10 (Profile Maintenance).

  snc/enable: This should be set to 1 to enable SNC.
  snc/identity/as or snc/identity/system: Ensure that the SNC identity is correctly set.

  If the snc/servername parameter is missing, add it with the appropriate value. The value should typically be in the format p:<hostname>:<port> where:
  
  p indicates that it is a secure connection.
  <hostname> is the name of the SNC server.
  <port> is the port number used for SNC communication.
