  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_CP_HTTP007 - Specify a RFC destination of type G ?

    The SAP error message SWF_CP_HTTP007 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the RFC (Remote Function Call) destination that is required for the workflow to communicate with an external system or service. Specifically, the error message suggests that you need to specify an RFC destination of type "G" (which stands for "HTTP connection to external server").

    Cause:

    The error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:

    1. Missing RFC Destination: The required RFC destination of type "G" has not been created in the SAP system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The existing RFC destination may not be configured correctly, or it may not be of the correct type.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user executing the workflow may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified RFC destination.
    4. Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the external server.

    Solution:

    To resolve the SWF_CP_HTTP007 error, follow these steps:

    1. Create or Check RFC Destination:

      • Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
      • Check if the required RFC destination of type "G" exists. If it does not, create a new RFC destination:
        • Click on "Create" and select "HTTP Connection to External Server".
        • Enter the necessary details, including the target host, service, and any required authentication information.
        • Save the configuration.
    2. Verify Configuration:

      • Ensure that the RFC destination is correctly configured. Check the following:
        • The target host and port are correct.
        • The connection type is set to "G".
        • Test the connection using the "Connection Test" button in SM59 to ensure it can reach the external server.
    3. Check Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user executing the workflow has the necessary authorizations to use the RFC destination. You may need to check roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG.
    4. Network Connectivity:

      • Verify that there are no network issues preventing the SAP system from reaching the external server. You can use tools like ping or telnet to check connectivity from the SAP server to the external server.
    5. Review Workflow Configuration:

      • If the RFC destination is being used in a specific workflow, ensure that the workflow is correctly configured to use the RFC destination you created or modified.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SM59: For managing RFC destinations.
      • PFCG: For managing roles and authorizations.
      • SWI1: For monitoring workflows.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on configuring RFC destinations and troubleshooting workflow issues.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the SWF_CP_HTTP007 error and ensure that your SAP workflow can successfully communicate with the external system.
