  The SAP error message CNV_MDS_UTILITY011 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the file attributes between two files being compared or processed in a data migration or conversion scenario. This error typically arises during the execution of a data migration project, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system detects that at least one file attribute (such as file format, structure, encoding, or other metadata) is different between the two files specified in the error message (represented as &1 and &2). This can happen due to:
  
  Different File Formats: The files may be in different formats (e.g., CSV vs. TXT).
  Inconsistent Data Structures: The structure of the files (e.g., number of columns, data types) may not match.
  Encoding Issues: The character encoding (e.g., UTF-8 vs. ANSI) may differ.

  Standardize File Formats: Ensure that both files are in the same format and structure. If necessary, convert one file to match the other.
  
  
  Adjust Encoding: If encoding is an issue, convert the files to a common encoding format (e.g., both to UTF-8).
  
  
  Validate Data Structure: Ensure that both files have the same number of columns and that the data types are consistent across corresponding columns.
  
  
  Check for Missing or Extra Attributes: Make sure that both files contain the same attributes and that there are no missing or extra fields.
