  The SAP error message XBP_EXT013 with the description "ExtSdl: Deletion of the RFC destination has been requested" typically occurs in the context of background processing or when dealing with remote function calls (RFC) in SAP systems. This error indicates that there is an issue with the RFC destination that is being used for communication between systems.
  Cause:
  
  
  RFC Destination Deletion: The primary cause of this error is that the RFC destination that is being referenced has been deleted or is no longer available. This can happen if:
  
  The destination was manually deleted by an administrator.
  There was a configuration change in the system that affected the RFC destination.
  The destination is not properly configured or is inactive.
  
  
  
  Network Issues: There may be underlying network issues that prevent the system from accessing the RFC destination.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user or system trying to access the RFC destination may not have the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check RFC Destination:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI.
  Look for the RFC destination that is causing the issue. If it has been deleted, you will need to recreate it.
  If it exists but is inactive, activate it.
  
  
  
  Recreate the RFC Destination:
  
  If the destination is missing, create a new RFC destination with the same parameters as the previous one, ensuring that all connection details (like target host, system number, client, etc.) are correct.
  
  
  
  Test the RFC Connection:
  
  After creating or modifying the RFC destination, use the "Test Connection" feature in SM59 to ensure that the connection is working properly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user or system has the necessary authorizations to access the RFC destination.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the system logs (transaction SM21) and the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Network Configuration:
  
  If the RFC destination is correct but still not working, check for any network issues that might be preventing access to the destination.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
