  The SAP error message CNV_LTHCM_S_10197 ("Handling of relationships not specified") typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or other data migration tools. This error indicates that there is an issue with how relationships between data entities are defined or handled in the migration process.
