• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SMMSS_ANALYZE052 - This function is only available on a CI running on the DB Server ?

  The SAP error message SMMSS_ANALYZE052 indicates that a specific function is being attempted on a system that is not configured correctly. This error typically arises when a function that is intended to be executed on a Central Instance (CI) is being called from a different instance, such as a dialog instance or application server.

  Log into the Central Instance: Access the Central Instance directly. You may need to use a remote desktop connection or SSH, depending on your system configuration.
  
  
  Execute the Function: Once logged into the Central Instance, try executing the function again. This should resolve the error, as the function is designed to run in this environment.
  
  
  Check System Configuration: If you are unsure about the configuration of your SAP system or the roles of different instances, consult your system administrator or refer to the SAP documentation for your specific version.
