  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UGMD132 - Define RFC destination &1 with connection type "R/3 connection" ?

    The SAP error message UGMD132 indicates that there is an issue with the Remote Function Call (RFC) destination configuration in your SAP system. Specifically, it suggests that an RFC destination needs to be defined with the connection type "R/3 connection" for the specified destination name.

    Cause:

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

    1. Missing RFC Destination: The specified RFC destination does not exist in the system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The RFC destination exists but is not configured correctly, particularly the connection type.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
    4. Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues preventing the system from reaching the specified destination.

    Solution:

    To resolve the UGMD132 error, follow these steps:

    1. Check RFC Destination:

      • Go to transaction code SM59 in the SAP GUI.
      • Look for the specified RFC destination (indicated by &1 in the error message).
      • If it does not exist, you will need to create it.
    2. Create or Modify RFC Destination:

      • If the destination does not exist, click on "Create" and enter the required details:
        • RFC Destination: Enter the name of the destination.
        • Connection Type: Select "3" for R/3 connection.
        • Target Host: Enter the hostname or IP address of the target SAP system.
        • System Number: Enter the system number of the target SAP system.
        • Client: Specify the client number.
        • Logon Data: Provide the necessary logon credentials if required.
      • If the destination exists but is misconfigured, select it and click on "Change" to update the connection type and other details.
    3. Test the Connection:

      • After creating or modifying the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" button in SM59 to ensure that the connection is working properly.
    4. Check Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination. This may involve checking roles and profiles assigned to the user.
    5. Network Configuration:

      • If the connection test fails, check for any network issues that may be preventing access to the target system. This may involve checking firewalls, VPNs, or other network configurations.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SM59: Manage RFC destinations.
      • SU01: User maintenance (to check user authorizations).
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on configuring RFC destinations.
