• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_DMC_MC_EXCEPTION058 - No separator ';' found in file ?

  The SAP error message CNV_DMC_MC_EXCEPTION058 indicates that the system encountered an issue while processing a file, specifically that it could not find a separator (in this case, a semicolon ;) in the file being processed. This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Data Migration Cockpit or similar tools.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect File Format: The file being processed may not be formatted correctly. If the expected format is a delimited file (e.g., CSV), the absence of the specified delimiter (semicolon) can lead to this error.
  Empty or Malformed Lines: The file may contain empty lines or lines that do not conform to the expected structure, which can cause the parser to fail in identifying the separator.
  Configuration Issues: The settings in the migration tool may not match the actual format of the input file, leading to mismatches in expected delimiters.
  File Encoding Issues: Sometimes, the file encoding can affect how the file is read, potentially leading to issues with recognizing delimiters.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check File Format: Ensure that the file is in the correct format and that it uses the expected delimiter (semicolon ;). Open the file in a text editor to verify its structure.
  Validate Data: Look for any empty lines or malformed entries in the file. Ensure that each line contains the expected number of fields separated by the delimiter.
  Adjust Configuration: If you are using a migration tool, check the configuration settings to ensure that they match the actual format of the input file. If the file uses a different delimiter, update the settings accordingly.
  Re-save the File: If you suspect encoding issues, try re-saving the file in a different encoding format (e.g., UTF-8) using a text editor or spreadsheet application.
  Test with Sample Data: Create a small sample file that adheres to the expected format and test the migration process with it to isolate the issue.
