Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Versioning Mode Not Set: The error indicates that the versioning mode for the BRF+ application is not set or is set to an invalid state (initial). BRF+ requires a specific versioning mode to manage rules and decision logic effectively.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the BRF+ application settings, particularly regarding how versions of rules are handled.

  Locate the specific application that is causing the error.
  Check the versioning settings for the application. Ensure that the versioning mode is set to a valid option (e.g., "Active" or "Inactive") rather than being left in an initial state.

  Check Application Configuration:
  
  Review the overall configuration of the BRF+ application to ensure that all required settings are correctly defined.
  Ensure that all necessary rules and decision tables are properly configured and activated.
  
  
  
  Transport Considerations:
