• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6PM760 - DBCFG - DFT_SQLMATHWARN: only "YES" or "NO" are allowed ?

  The SAP error message DB6PM760 DBCFG - DFT_SQLMATHWARN: only "YES" or "NO" are allowed typically indicates that there is an issue with a configuration parameter related to SQL math warnings in the database settings. This error arises when a configuration value is set to something other than the expected "YES" or "NO".
  Cause:
  The error is caused by an invalid value being assigned to the DFT_SQLMATHWARN parameter in the database configuration. This parameter is expected to accept only two values:
  
  "YES": Enable SQL math warnings.
  "NO": Disable SQL math warnings.
  
  If the value is set to anything else (e.g., "TRUE", "FALSE", or any other string), the system will throw this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to check and correct the configuration of the DFT_SQLMATHWARN parameter. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Access Database Configuration:
  
  Depending on your database system (e.g., SAP HANA, MaxDB, etc.), access the database configuration settings. This may involve using a database management tool or command line interface.
  
  
  
  Check Current Value:
  
  Look for the current setting of the DFT_SQLMATHWARN parameter. You can usually do this by running a query or checking the configuration settings in the database management interface.
  
  
  
  Update the Parameter:
  
  If the value is not "YES" or "NO", update it to one of these valid options. For example:
  SET DFT_SQLMATHWARN = 'YES';  -- or 'NO'
  
  
  
  
  Save Changes:
  
  Ensure that you save the changes and, if necessary, restart the database or the application that relies on this configuration for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, test the application or process that was previously generating the error to ensure that it is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation or the documentation for your specific database system for more details on configuration parameters and their valid values.
  Support: If you continue to experience issues after making the changes, consider reaching out to SAP support or your database administrator for further assistance.
  Best Practices: Regularly review and validate configuration settings to prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DB6PM760 error and ensure that your database configuration is set correctly.
