CNV_MBT_46488 - Details

• The SAP error message CNV_MBT_46488 indicates that maintaining consistent scrambling during data transfer can negatively impact performance. This message is typically encountered in the context of data migration or transformation processes, particularly when using SAP's data migration tools.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises when the system is configured to maintain consistent scrambling of data during the transfer process. Scrambling is a technique used to anonymize or obfuscate sensitive data to protect it during migration. However, ensuring that the scrambling remains consistent across different data sets can lead to performance degradation, as the system may need to perform additional checks or operations to maintain this consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To address this issue, consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Evaluate the Need for Consistent Scrambling:
  
  Assess whether consistent scrambling is necessary for your specific use case. If it is not critical, you may choose to disable this feature to improve performance.
  
  
  
  Optimize Data Transfer Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings for the data transfer process.
