  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SY314 - Data receive error (SCMRCV), return code = & ?

    The SAP error message SY314, which indicates a "Data receive error (SCMRCV), return code = &", typically occurs in the context of SAP's Remote Function Call (RFC) or when there are issues with data communication between systems. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as during data transfer, remote function calls, or when interfacing with external systems.

    Causes:

    1. Network Issues: Problems with the network connection between the SAP systems can lead to data receive errors. This could be due to network outages, firewalls blocking traffic, or misconfigured network settings.

    2. Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration of RFC destinations or communication parameters can result in this error. This includes issues with the logical system settings or the RFC destination settings in transaction SM59.

    3. System Performance: If the system is under heavy load or if there are performance issues, it may not be able to process incoming data correctly, leading to timeouts or data receive errors.

    4. Data Format Issues: If the data being sent does not match the expected format or structure, it can cause errors during the data reception process.

    5. Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations for the user or system trying to perform the RFC call can also lead to this error.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that there are no network issues between the systems. You can use tools like ping or traceroute to diagnose connectivity problems.

    2. Review RFC Configuration: Go to transaction SM59 and check the configuration of the RFC destination. Ensure that the settings are correct, including the target host, system number, and client.

    3. Monitor System Performance: Use transaction SM50 or SM66 to monitor the performance of the SAP system. Check for any long-running processes or high resource usage that might be affecting performance.

    4. Check Data Formats: Verify that the data being sent matches the expected format. This may involve checking the structure of the data being transmitted and ensuring it adheres to the expected schema.

    5. Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user or system performing the RFC call has the necessary authorizations. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs to see if there are any authorization issues.

    6. Check SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for known issues.
