• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDBALM330 - Hot standby system does not have a master database ?

  The SAP error message SDBALM330 indicates that a hot standby system does not have a master database.

  Network Issues: Connectivity problems between the master and standby databases can lead to this error.
  Version Mismatch: The versions of the databases may not be compatible, leading to synchronization issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Verify the configuration settings for the hot standby system. Ensure that the standby database is correctly set up to connect to the master database.
