• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TH038 - Exit module &1 is not remote-enabled ?

  The SAP error message TH038, which states "Exit module &1 is not remote-enabled," typically occurs when you are trying to call a function module or an exit that is not designed to be executed in a remote context (e.g., via RFC - Remote Function Call). This can happen in various scenarios, such as when using remote-enabled function modules or when trying to execute a transaction that involves a non-remote-enabled exit.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Remote-Enabled Function Module: The function module or exit you are trying to call is not marked as remote-enabled. This means it cannot be called from a different SAP system or client.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the system that prevent the function module from being recognized as remote-enabled.
  Incorrect Usage: The function module might be used in a context that requires it to be remote-enabled, but it is not designed for that purpose.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Function Module Attributes:
  
  Go to transaction SE37 (Function Module) or SE80 (Object Navigator).
  Enter the name of the function module or exit that is causing the error.
  Check the attributes of the function module. Ensure that the "Remote-Enabled Module" checkbox is checked.
  
  
  
  Modify the Function Module:
  
  If you have the necessary authorizations and the function module is custom, you can modify it to make it remote-enabled. This involves checking the code and ensuring it can be executed in a remote context.
  
  
  
  Use an Alternative Function Module:
  
  If the function module is standard and cannot be modified, look for an alternative function module that is remote-enabled and provides similar functionality.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific function module or exit to understand its intended use and limitations.
  
  
  
  Contact SAP Support:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if it involves standard SAP function modules.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  RFC (Remote Function Call): Understand how RFC works in SAP, as it is crucial for remote-enabled function modules.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE37 (Function Module), SE80 (Object Navigator), and SE11 (Data Dictionary) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to the function module or exit you are working with.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the TH038 error and implement a suitable solution.
