How To Fix UGMD089 - Connection to BW system has not yet been established

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UGMD - FIN Master Data: Messages

• Message number: 089

• Message text: Connection to BW system has not yet been established

What causes this issue?

You want to define callback destinations for callbacks from connected BW
systems to Master Data Framework (MDF). Before you can do this, you need
to create at least one data basis (technically: an area ID) that is
(locally or remotely) connected to a BW system for the current system
client.
<ZH>No</> such data basis exists. Therefore, no maintenance is required
at this time.

System Response

Definitions of callback destinations are not possible.

How to fix this error?

Define at least one data basis that references a BW system.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UGMD089 - Connection to BW system has not yet been established ?

  The SAP error message UGMD089, which states "Connection to BW system has not yet been established," typically indicates that there is an issue with the connection between the SAP system (such as SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA) and the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to access BW data from an SAP application or during data extraction processes.
  Causes:
  
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity problems between the SAP system and the BW system.
  Configuration Issues: The connection settings in the SAP system may not be correctly configured. This includes settings in transaction codes like SM59 (RFC Destinations) or RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to establish a connection to the BW system.
  BW System Down: The BW system may be down or not running properly.
  Incorrect BW System Details: The details (like hostname, port, etc.) for the BW system may be incorrect in the configuration.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Network Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that the network connection between the two systems is active. You can use tools like ping or telnet to check connectivity to the BW system.
  
  
  
  Verify RFC Connection:
  
  Go to transaction SM59 in the SAP GUI and check the RFC destination that points to the BW system. Test the connection to ensure it is working correctly.
  If the connection fails, check the configuration settings (like the target host, service, and logon credentials).
  
  
  
  Review Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user account being used to connect to the BW system has the necessary authorizations. This may involve checking roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Check BW System Status:
  
  Verify that the BW system is up and running. You can check the system status in the SAP system monitoring tools or by logging into the BW system directly.
  
  
  
  Correct Configuration:
  
  If there are any discrepancies in the configuration settings (like incorrect IP address or port), correct them in the RFC destination settings.
  
  
  
  Check Logs:
  
  Review the system logs for any additional error messages that may provide more context about the connection issue. You can check transaction SM21 for system logs.
  
  
  
  Restart Services:
  
  If the BW system is running but still not connecting, consider restarting the relevant services or the entire BW system.
