  SAP Message W4267 - Overview
  
  Message ID: W4267  
  Message Text: System.................................: &  
  Message Type: Warning (W)  
  
  
  Cause
  The message W4267 is a warning related to the system identification or system name in SAP. The placeholder "&" in the message text is replaced at runtime by the actual system name or system ID.
  This warning typically appears in scenarios where the system name or system ID is being checked or displayed, for example during RFC (Remote Function Call) connections, system logon, or system status checks.
  Common causes include:
  
  The system name or system ID is being referenced or validated in a program or function module.
  A check is performed to confirm the system name, and the message is issued to inform the user or administrator.
  It may appear during system copy, client copy, or system connection tests.
  Sometimes it appears when the system name is not as expected or when a system alias is used.
  
  
  Solution
  Since W4267 is a warning message, it usually does not indicate a critical error but rather an informational note or a system identification notice.
  Steps to address or understand the message:
  
  
  Check the context where the message appears:
  
  Identify the transaction, program, or process that triggers the message. For example, if it appears during an RFC connection test, verify the system alias and connection parameters.
  
  
  Verify system name and system ID:  
  
  Use transaction SM51 or SM59 to check system names and RFC destinations.  
  Use transaction SMLG to check logon groups and system IDs.
  
  
  
  Review system parameters:  
  
  Check the system parameter rdisp/mshost and rdisp/msserv for message server configuration.  
  Verify the system ID (SID) in transaction SCC4 or system status.
  
  
  
  Check for system alias or logical system configuration:  
  
  Use transaction SALE or BD54 to check logical system names.  
  Ensure that the logical system name matches the actual system ID if relevant.
  
  
  
  If the message appears during a custom program or report:  
  
  Review the code to understand why the message is triggered.  
  The message might be used to inform about the system name being processed.
  
  
  
  Ignore if informational:  
  
  If the message does not affect processing and is only informational, it can be safely ignored.
