  The SAP error message CNV_IUUC_REPL_ADV_SE216 indicates that a change made to the replication settings regarding NULL values will only take effect after the replication process is restarted. This message is typically encountered in the context of SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) replication, which is used to replicate data from a source system to a target system in real-time.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when you modify the replication settings related to how NULL values are handled in the SLT configuration.

  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to restart the replication process. Here are the steps to do so:
