• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE076 - Selected tree type must have the category 1 ('incoming files') ?

  The SAP error message DMEE076 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) tree type you are trying to use. Specifically, it states that the selected tree type must have the category '1' (which corresponds to 'incoming files').
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to use a DMEE tree that is not configured for incoming files.
  The tree type you selected is set up for a different category (e.g., outgoing files or other purposes) rather than incoming files.
  There may be a mismatch between the tree type and the expected category in the configuration settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Tree Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE).
  Locate the tree type you are trying to use.
  Verify that the tree type is indeed configured with the category '1' (incoming files). You can do this by checking the properties of the tree type.
  
  
  
  Change Tree Type:
  
  If the selected tree type is not set for incoming files, you may need to select a different tree type that is configured for this purpose.
  Alternatively, if you need to use the current tree type, you may need to modify its configuration to set it to category '1'.
  
  
  
  Create a New Tree Type:
  
  If necessary, you can create a new DMEE tree type specifically for incoming files. Ensure that you set the category correctly during the creation process.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Consult the SAP documentation or help resources for more details on configuring DMEE tree types and their categories.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the configuration again to ensure that the error is resolved.
