• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STC_SC_TASKS286 - Non-default RFC connections not found in table rfcdes ?

  The SAP error message STC_SC_TASKS286 indicates that the system is unable to find non-default RFC (Remote Function Call) connections in the table RFCDES. This typically occurs during the execution of background jobs or tasks that require specific RFC connections to communicate with other SAP systems or services.
  Cause:
  
  Missing RFC Connections: The error usually arises when the required non-default RFC connections are not defined in the system. This can happen if the connections were deleted, not created, or if there is a configuration issue.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the RFC destination settings, leading to the system being unable to locate the required connections.
  Transport Issues: If the RFC connections were supposed to be transported from another system (like a development or quality system) and the transport did not include the necessary configurations, this error can occur.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user executing the task may not have the necessary authorizations to access the RFC connections.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Connections:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 and check if the required non-default RFC connections are defined.
  If they are missing, create the necessary RFC connections with the correct parameters.
  
  
  
  Verify Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the RFC connections are correctly configured. Check the connection type, target host, system number, and other relevant parameters.
  Test the RFC connection using the "Test Connection" button in SM59 to ensure it is working properly.
  
  
  
  Transport Configuration:
  
  If the RFC connections were supposed to be transported, check the transport requests to ensure they included the necessary configurations.
  If not, manually create the RFC connections in the target system.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the task has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC connections. You may need to check the roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  System Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
