• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TT199 - A procedure was stored in a remote system ?

  The SAP error message TT199, which states "A procedure was stored in a remote system," typically occurs in the context of remote function calls (RFC) or when dealing with remote-enabled function modules. This error indicates that the procedure you are trying to call is not available in the local system but is instead stored in a remote system.
  Cause:
  
  Remote Function Module: The function module you are trying to execute is defined in a different SAP system (remote system) rather than the local system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the RFC destination configuration, which prevents the local system from properly accessing the remote function module.
  Network Issues: Network connectivity problems between the local and remote systems can also lead to this error.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the remote function module.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Ensure that the RFC destination is correctly configured in the local system. You can check this in transaction SM59.
  Test the connection to the remote system using the "Test Connection" option in the RFC destination settings.
  
  
  
  Verify Function Module:
  
  Confirm that the function module you are trying to call exists in the remote system. You can do this by logging into the remote system and checking the function module in transaction SE37 or SE80.
  
  
  
  Network Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that there are no network issues preventing communication between the local and remote systems. You can use tools like ping or traceroute to check connectivity.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user executing the function has the necessary authorizations to call the remote function module. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in both the local and remote systems.
  
  
  
  Use of Logical Systems:
  
  If you are working with multiple systems, ensure that the logical system settings are correctly configured in transaction SALE (for ALE/IDoc settings).
  
  
  
  Error Handling:
  
  Implement error handling in your code to manage situations where the remote function call fails, allowing for graceful degradation or alternative processing.
