  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Source Tree: The source tree you are trying to use has not been created or does not exist in the DMEE configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a typo or incorrect reference in the configuration settings where the source tree is specified.
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, the source tree may not have been included in the transport request.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified source tree.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Source Tree Configuration:
  
  Go to the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE).

  Transport Configuration:
