• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_DMC_WDA071 - Select an active view before uploading file ?

  The SAP error message CNV_DMC_WDA071 indicates that the system requires an active view to be selected before you can upload a file. This error typically occurs in the context of data migration or data conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) or similar tools.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the user attempts to upload a file without having an active view selected in the application. In the context of data migration, a "view" refers to a specific configuration or mapping of data that you want to work with. If no view is selected, the system does not know where to place the uploaded data, leading to this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Select an Active View:
  
  Navigate to the relevant section of the SAP Data Migration Cockpit or the tool you are using.
  Look for a dropdown or selection area where you can choose an active view.
  Select the appropriate view that corresponds to the data you are trying to upload.
  
  
  
  Verify View Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the selected view is properly configured and active. If the view is inactive or not set up correctly, you may need to adjust its settings or create a new view.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt the Upload:
  
  After selecting the active view, try uploading the file again. The system should now recognize the context for the data being uploaded.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for the Data Migration Cockpit or the specific tool you are using for detailed instructions on managing views and uploading files.
  User Roles and Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access and modify views within the system.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or updates that may address this error or provide additional context.
