• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_PE_TPM059 - Parameter &1: type &2 (system) vs. type &3 (file) ?

  The SAP error message CNV_PE_TPM059 typically occurs during data migration processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other data transfer tools. This error indicates a type mismatch between the data being processed in the system and the data being read from the file.
  Cause:
  The error message CNV_PE_TPM059 is triggered when there is a discrepancy between the expected data type of a parameter in the SAP system and the actual data type of the corresponding parameter in the input file. Specifically, it indicates that the system expected a certain data type (type &3) but received a different type (type &2) from the file.
  Example:
  
  Parameter &1: The name of the parameter that is causing the issue.
  Type &2: The data type of the parameter as defined in the system (e.g., CHAR, NUMC, DATS).
  Type &3: The data type of the parameter as defined in the input file.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types defined in the SAP system for the parameter in question. Compare these with the data types in the input file. Ensure that they match.
  
  
  Data Format: Ensure that the data in the input file is formatted correctly. For example, if the system expects a numeric value, ensure that the input file does not contain any non-numeric characters.
  
  
  File Encoding: Check the encoding of the input file. Sometimes, issues can arise from incorrect file encoding (e.g., UTF-8 vs. ANSI).
  
  
  Data Mapping: If you are using a mapping tool or transformation logic, ensure that the mapping is correctly defined and that it converts data types appropriately.
  
  
  Test with Sample Data: Create a small sample input file with known good data that matches the expected types and test the migration process with that file.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific migration tool you are using to understand the expected data types and formats.
  
  
  Error Logs: Check the detailed error logs for more context on the error. This can provide additional insights into what might be going wrong.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
