• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_BS_ADHOC_REPL_UI003 - Enter a server group if parallel processing is selected ?

  The SAP error message MDG_BS_ADHOC_REPL_UI003 typically occurs in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) when you are trying to execute an ad-hoc replication process and have selected the option for parallel processing without specifying a server group.
  Cause:
  The error arises because when you enable parallel processing for the replication, the system requires a server group to be defined. The server group specifies which application servers can be used for the parallel processing of the replication tasks. If this is not provided, the system cannot proceed with the operation, leading to the error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to specify a server group in the replication settings. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Access the Replication Settings:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction or application where you are initiating the ad-hoc replication.
  
  
  
  Select Parallel Processing:
  
  Ensure that the option for parallel processing is selected.
  
  
  
  Specify a Server Group:
  
  Look for a field or option labeled "Server Group" or similar. You need to enter a valid server group name here. This can usually be found in the system configuration or can be defined by your SAP Basis team.
  
  
  
  Save and Execute:
  
  After entering the server group, save your changes and try executing the replication process again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
