RFC destination BW could not be created in the source system

[Former Member]

Hi,

Recently I installed BI 7.0 on Win 2003 and try to create a SAP system in RSA1.

I try to connect R/3 system (on UNIX) and getting RFC connection error u201CRFC user logon failed. Check the connection.u201D & u201CRFC destination BW could not be created in the source systemu201D. However, I test the connection and it is working fine.

Please suggest the solution.

Regards,

Rajesh

RFC user logon failed

Check that the user information is correct and that is not locked..

RFC destination BW could not be created in the source system

This is the result of the failed logon

However, I test the connection and it is working fine.

This is just checking that the destination is available, go to the RFC and click on TEST -> Authorization.

Dear Juan,

Thanks for reply.

I assigned authorization for S_RFC & S_RFCACL to user & issue resolved.

Rajesh,

Answer is very simple. I did get same kind of problem. It is very simple answer depending on your R3 version.

Use password all capital letters. Don't include any small letter at all. unlock your user id and change password to capital letter. BW doesn't like small and capital letter mix. this bug is fixed in ECC 6.0

Hello Rajesh,

really good point,

I just faced the same issue after a refresh of ECC 6 EHP7 on windows server 2016 an BW on Linux / Hana and an APO/SCM on Linux also Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 (Maipo).

I was unable to active the source system from BW to APO after refresh.

Got error like user/password wrong or user locked as it was not.

I changed SAP instance params to be able to have only Caps password and it work perfectly

Thanks again for your informations.
