• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SR185 - Destination &1 can only be deleted in its own client ?

  The SAP error message SR185 "Destination &1 can only be deleted in its own client" typically occurs when you attempt to delete a destination (such as an RFC destination) that is not in the current client. In SAP, destinations are client-specific, meaning that each client can have its own set of destinations, and you can only manage (create, modify, or delete) them within the client they belong to.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You are logged into a different client than the one where the destination was created.
  You are trying to delete a destination that exists in another client.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Switch to the Correct Client:
  
  Log out of your current client and log into the client where the destination was created. You can do this by entering the client number in the login screen.
  
  
  
  Delete the Destination:
  
  Once you are in the correct client, navigate to the transaction code where you manage destinations (e.g., SM59 for RFC destinations).
  Locate the destination you want to delete and proceed with the deletion.
  
  
  
  Check Client-Specific Settings:
  
  Ensure that you are aware of the client-specific nature of the destinations and manage them accordingly in the future.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM59: Manage RFC destinations.
  SICF: Manage HTTP services.
  
  
  
  Client Concept in SAP:
  
  SAP systems are organized into clients, which are separate environments within the same system. Each client can have its own data and configuration settings.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to delete destinations in the target client.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you need to transport destinations between clients, consider using transport requests to move the configuration instead of manually deleting and recreating them.
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SR185 error and manage your destinations effectively.
