• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE363 - Node &1: empty segment for the end of line; no subnodes allowed ?

  The SAP error message DMEE363 indicates that there is an issue with the DMEE (Data Medium Exchange Engine) configuration, specifically related to the structure of the output file being generated. The error message states that there is an empty segment at the end of a line, and that no subnodes are allowed in this context.
  Cause:
  
  Empty Segment: The error typically occurs when a segment is defined in the DMEE tree structure but does not contain any data or subnodes. This can happen if the data being processed does not meet the criteria defined in the DMEE configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: The DMEE tree may be incorrectly configured, leading to segments that are expected to have data but are left empty.
  Data Issues: The data being processed may not have the necessary information to populate the segments, resulting in empty segments.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DMEE Configuration:
  
  Open the DMEE tree in transaction code DMEE.
  Review the structure of the tree and ensure that all segments that are expected to have data are correctly configured.
  Ensure that the segments are not marked as mandatory if they are not always populated.
  
  
  
  Validate Data:
  
  Check the data being processed to ensure that it contains the necessary information to populate all required segments.
  If the data is coming from a specific source (like a table or a file), verify that the source data is complete and correctly formatted.
  
  
  
  Modify Segment Properties:
  
  If certain segments are optional, consider adjusting their properties in the DMEE tree to allow for empty segments without causing an error.
  You can set the "Optional" property for segments that may not always have data.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the DMEE output generation again to see if the error persists.
  Use the DMEE simulation feature to validate the output before generating the actual file.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for additional guidance on configuring DMEE trees and handling specific error messages.
