  Test the Connection:
  
  After creating or modifying the destination, use the "Test Connection" feature in SM59 to ensure that the destination is reachable and configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or the system trying to access the destination has the necessary authorizations. This may involve checking roles and profiles assigned to the user.
