• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRT_ADMIN014 - Type of RFC service destination & is not "3" ?

  The SAP error message SRT_ADMIN014 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the RFC (Remote Function Call) service destination in the SAP system. Specifically, it suggests that the type of the RFC service destination is not set to "3", which is typically required for certain types of communication, such as web services.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the RFC destination that is being used for the service is not configured correctly. The type "3" refers to a specific type of RFC destination that is used for HTTP connections, particularly for web service communication. If the destination is set to a different type (e.g., type "1" for a registered server or type "2" for a transactional RFC), the system will not be able to establish the required communication.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check and possibly reconfigure the RFC destination in the SAP system. Here are the steps to do so:
  
  
  Access the RFC Destination Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SM59 in the SAP GUI. This transaction is used to manage RFC destinations.
  
  
  
  Locate the RFC Destination:
  
  Find the RFC destination that is causing the issue. You can search for it in the list of configured destinations.
  
  
  
  Check the Destination Type:
  
  Select the destination and check its properties. Ensure that the "Type" is set to "3" (HTTP connection to external server).
  
  
  
  Modify the Destination:
  
  If the type is not set to "3", you will need to change it. You can do this by:
  
  Selecting the destination and clicking on the "Change" button.
  In the "Technical Settings" tab, change the "RFC Destination Type" to "3".
  Ensure that all other required fields (like the target host, service, and any necessary authentication details) are filled out correctly.
  
  
  
  
  
  Test the Connection:
  
  After making the changes, use the "Connection Test" button to verify that the RFC destination is working correctly.
  
  
  
  Save the Changes:
  
  Once the connection test is successful, save your changes.

  Web Services in SAP:
  
  If you are working with web services, ensure that the service is properly defined and that the necessary configurations (like WSDL, endpoint URLs, etc.) are correctly set up.
  
  
  Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify RFC destinations.
  
  
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, you may need to consult SAP documentation or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
