• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS723 - No DB systems were specified ?

  The SAP error message DDLS723: No DB systems were specified typically occurs when there is an issue with the database system configuration in the SAP environment. This error is often encountered during database-related operations, such as when trying to execute a Data Definition Language (DDL) statement or when performing database-related tasks in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Database Configuration: The error may arise if the database systems are not properly configured in the SAP system. This could happen if the database connection settings are missing or incorrect.
  Incorrect Profile Settings: The instance profile or the database profile may not have the correct parameters set, leading to the system not recognizing the database.
  Transport Directory Issues: If you are working with transports, the transport directory may not be correctly set up, causing the system to not find the database systems.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to access the database systems can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Database Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction DBACOCKPIT or DB02 and verify that the database connection is correctly set up.
  Ensure that the database is running and accessible from the SAP application server.
  
  
  
  Review Instance Profile:
  
  Check the instance profile settings using transaction RZ10. Ensure that the database parameters are correctly defined.
  Look for parameters like dbs/db6 (for DB6) or other relevant database parameters depending on your database type.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Directory:
  
  Ensure that the transport directory is correctly configured. You can check this in transaction STMS (Transport Management System).
  Make sure that the transport routes are correctly set up and that the transport directory is accessible.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user executing the operation has the necessary authorizations to access the database systems. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs to see if there are any authorization issues.
