SAP S/4HANA Error 2568: Metadata Update in Slave Not Supported
Description
This error indicates an attempt to modify or update metadata on an SAP S/4HANA instance configured as a 'slave' or replica, which is typically read-only for such operations. It commonly occurs in distributed database environments where data consistency is maintained by restricting write operations to primary (master) nodes.

3 known causesWrite Operation on Read-Only Replica
This error often occurs when an application or user attempts to modify metadata on an SAP S/4HANA instance configured as a read-only slave or replica.

The SAP S/4HANA instance might be incorrectly configured as a slave, preventing metadata updates when it should be a primary or a writable node.
Distributed System Architecture Design
In a distributed SAP S/4HANA landscape with master-slave replication, metadata updates are inherently restricted to the master node to maintain data integrity.
