• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRT_ADMIN117 - bgRFC destination is operational ?

  The SAP error message SRT_ADMIN117 indicates that the bgRFC (background Remote Function Call) destination is operational, but there may be issues related to the configuration or the processing of messages in the bgRFC queue. This error typically arises in scenarios involving SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when dealing with asynchronous communication.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Configuration Issues: The bgRFC destination may not be properly configured in the SAP system.
  Queue Overload: There may be a backlog of messages in the bgRFC queue that are not being processed.
  Network Issues: Connectivity problems between the systems involved in the bgRFC communication.
  Authorization Issues: The user or service account may not have the necessary permissions to process bgRFC calls.
  System Performance: High system load or performance issues can lead to delays in processing bgRFC messages.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the SRT_ADMIN117 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check bgRFC Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SRT_ADMIN and verify the configuration of the bgRFC destination.
  Ensure that the destination is correctly set up and that all required parameters are configured.
  
  
  
  Monitor bgRFC Queues:
  
  Use transaction SM58 to check for any stuck or failed asynchronous RFC calls.
  Use transaction SLG1 to check the application logs for any related errors or warnings.
  
  
  
  Process bgRFC Messages:
  
  In transaction SRT_MONI, monitor the bgRFC messages and check if there are any messages that are not being processed.
  If there are messages in the queue, you may need to manually trigger their processing.
  
  
  
  Check System Performance:
  
  Monitor system performance using transaction ST22 (dump analysis) and SM50 (process overview) to identify any performance bottlenecks.
  If the system is under heavy load, consider optimizing the performance or scheduling batch jobs during off-peak hours.
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or service account used for bgRFC communication has the necessary authorizations to execute the required functions.
  
  
  
  Network Connectivity:
  
  Check the network connectivity between the systems involved in the bgRFC communication to ensure there are no issues.
  
  
  
  Restart Services:
  
  If necessary, restart the relevant services or the entire SAP system to clear any temporary issues.
