• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMG154 - BIDI Analysis is activated. Deactivate MDMP. ?

  Cause:
  The error occurs because BIDI analysis is not compatible with the MDMP configuration. BIDI analysis is used for languages that are written from right to left (like Arabic or Hebrew), while MDMP is a configuration that allows the system to handle multiple languages and character sets simultaneously. When BIDI analysis is activated, it can lead to issues in an MDMP environment, hence the error message.
