  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SQ010 - Target system & does not exist ?

    The SAP error message "SQ010 Target system & does not exist" typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or when trying to execute a report that requires a specific target system that is not recognized or configured in the current environment. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect Target System Configuration: The target system specified in the query or report does not exist in the system landscape or is not properly configured.
    2. Missing Logical System: The logical system name may not be defined in the SAP system or may not be assigned correctly.
    3. Transport Directory Issues: If the query is being executed in a different environment (like a development or production system), the transport directory may not be set up correctly.
    4. Authorization Issues: The user executing the query may not have the necessary authorizations to access the target system.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Target System Configuration:

      • Go to transaction SM59 (RFC Destinations) and verify that the target system is listed and configured correctly.
      • Ensure that the connection to the target system is active and functioning.
    2. Verify Logical System Name:

      • Use transaction BD54 to check if the logical system is defined and correctly assigned to the client.
      • Ensure that the logical system name matches what is expected in the query or report.
    3. Transport Directory:

      • If applicable, check the transport directory settings to ensure that the query or report is being executed in the correct environment.
    4. User Authorizations:

      • Check the user roles and authorizations to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the target system.
      • Use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues after the error occurs.
    5. Check Query Settings:

      • If the error occurs while executing a specific query, check the query settings in transaction SQ01 to ensure that the target system is correctly specified.
    6. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific error message for any additional troubleshooting steps or patches.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SM59: RFC Destinations
      • BD54: Logical System/Client Assignment
