DMC_RT_MSG616 - Details

• The SAP error message DMC_RT_MSG616 indicates that there are records in a data set that reference higher-level hierarchy nodes that do not exist. This typically occurs in scenarios involving data management, such as data migration, data replication, or data transformation processes, particularly when working with hierarchical data structures.
  
  Cause:

This can happen if the data was not loaded in the correct order or if there were issues during data extraction or transformation.
  
  
  Data Integrity Issues: There may be integrity issues in the data where the relationships between records are not properly maintained, leading to orphaned records that reference non-existent parents.
  
  
  Incorrect Hierarchical Structure: The hierarchy defined in the data may not match the expected structure in the target system, leading to mismatches.
