It seems as if the software can no longer access the MaxDB registry.
You can try to rebuild it by hand:

- locate the independent program path
  These can probably be found by looking at /etc/init.d/sapdb.
  If you have an absolute path to dbmcli, then the path
  before bin/dbmcli is the independent program path. Enter that
  path into the file /etc/opt/sdb at IndepPrograms

- locate the independent data path
  search for a directory that contains the files
  * Installations.ini
  * Databases.ini
  * REPORTS   # the configuration of your database REPORTS
  The path before config/REPORTS is the independent data path. Enter
that
  path into the file /etc/opt/sdb at IndepData

- make sure that Databases.ini contains an entry for database REPORTS
