Hello,

SAP Busineswarehouse: Error occured when starting the parser:

Hi @rangakondapally,
Based on my research, your issue can be related to MAX parser does not start.
To resolve this problem, please try following method:
Download the librfc32 from Kernel download location (Select Non Unicode Kernel to get librfc32, otherwise you might get librfc32u).
place it in D:\usr\sap\<SID>\DVEBMGS00\exe and D:\usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64 (Windows)
/sapmnt/<SID>/exe (Unix)
Now try to test the RFC again.
For more details, please refer to following articles:

Hi Xi Jin, Thanks for your response.
The solution you provided is for Non unicode systems but our SAP BW systems are Unicode systems.
Our systems contain librfc32u.dll not librfc32.dll as systems are unicode. Please suggest any solution for unicode systems.
Regards
Ranga.
Hi @rangakondapally,
Since your issue is more related to SAP BW connector. And I haven't used SAP BW system before. I'm afraid that I cannot help you more.
Also, I would suggest you to post your issue to SAP forum for more professional help. Thanks for understanding.
Regards,
Xi Jin.
