Unable to create Metadata connection for Dictionary Provider

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am getting the following error while I try to run a Web Dynpro Application;

The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:

com.sap.dictionary.runtime.DdException: 'WD_RFC_METADATA_DEST' not properly defined! Unable to create Metadata connection for Dictionary Provider. Either the logical System Name 'WD_RFC_METADATA_DEST' has not been properly defined in the System Landscape Directory, or you are not using a MsgServerDestination (AppServerDestinations are not permitted for Metadata connections)

The JCo Connections are tested and pinged, they work fine.

Can anyone please tell what the error could be?

Hi

Have you created 2 Jco connections, I mean the modeldata and metadata? If not pls do that.

Try re importing the BAPI and do a server restart.

check this forum link

Thanks
