Summary :
The SAP Note addresses issues with the RFC destination SAPXPG_DBDEST_, where connection tests fail, impeding the execution of external commands using SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE. The problem arises primarily when an SAP application server isn't running on the database host and when gateway options in the RFC destination are unset, typically because the RFC destination was generated automatically without manual postprocessing. The solution involves ensuring the sapxpg program exists on the database host and properly configuring the RFC destination to utilize a standalone gateway, setting specific gateway host and service details under TCP/IP destination type in SM59. This configuration should resolve the connection issues.

Key words :
rfc destination sapxpg_dbdest_<db-host>, 'tcp/ip' destination type, dev_rd gateway trace file, rfc destination fails, 'gateway host' field, sap application server, sap kernel executables, sap service marketplace, bind service sapgwxy, bind service sapgw06
