  The error message /SCMB/PSTRU_MIGR044 POS migration can only be run on SAP HANA database indicates that the process you are trying to execute is specifically designed to run on an SAP HANA database. This is a common issue when organizations are transitioning from a non-HANA database to HANA, especially in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or other SAP applications that leverage HANA's capabilities.

  Solution:
  
  Check Database Type: Ensure that your SAP system is indeed running on an SAP HANA database. You can check this in the system information or by using transaction code DB02 to view the database type.
  Migration to HANA: If your system is not on HANA, you will need to plan and execute a migration to the HANA database. This typically involves:
  
  Assessing your current database and application landscape.
  Planning the migration process, including data migration, application adjustments, and testing.
  Executing the migration using SAP's tools and methodologies.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for the specific migration process you are attempting to execute. This documentation may provide additional context or prerequisites that need to be fulfilled.
  SAP Support: If you are already on HANA and still encountering this error, consider reaching out to SAP Support for assistance. They can help diagnose any configuration issues or provide guidance on how to proceed.
