SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DMEE - Messages for Data Medium Exchange Engine

• Message number: 332

• Message text: Node &1: no constant source value; target node filled with initial value

What causes this issue?

You have selected <ZH>Constant</> as the mapping procedure for node
&V1&, but you have not entered a constant for the source value. In this
case, the target field in the file will be filled with the initial
value.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If the target field should be filled with the initial value, then no

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE332 - Node &1: no constant source value; target node filled with initial value ?

  The SAP error message DMEE332 indicates that there is an issue with the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) configuration, specifically related to a node in the DMEE tree structure. The error message states that a node is expected to have a constant source value, but it does not, leading to the target node being filled with an initial (default) value.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Constant Source Value: The node in question is configured to pull a constant value, but the source for that constant is not defined or is missing.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DMEE tree might be incorrectly configured, leading to the absence of the expected constant value.
  Data Mapping Issues: There may be issues in the mapping of data fields that prevent the constant value from being retrieved correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DMEE Configuration:
  
  Go to the DMEE tree structure in transaction code OBPM1 or DMEE.
  Locate the node that is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  Ensure that the node is correctly configured to pull a constant value. If it is supposed to pull a constant, make sure that the constant is defined in the node properties.
  
  
  
  Define Constant Values:
  
  If the node is supposed to have a constant value, ensure that you have defined the constant in the DMEE tree. You can do this by selecting the node and specifying the constant value in the properties.
  
  
  
  Review Data Mapping:
  
  Check the data mapping for the node to ensure that it is correctly set up to retrieve the necessary values. If the mapping is incorrect, adjust it accordingly.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making changes, test the DMEE configuration to ensure that the error is resolved. You can do this by generating the data medium file again and checking for any further errors.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the configuration, refer to SAP documentation or guides related to DMEE for more detailed instructions on setting up constant values and node configurations.
