• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE407 - Node &1: composite has no subnode of type element/technical node ?

  The SAP error message DMEE407 indicates that there is an issue with the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) configuration, specifically related to the structure of the DMEE tree. The error message states that a composite node does not have a subnode of the expected type (either an element or a technical node). Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect DMEE Tree Structure: The DMEE tree is expected to have a specific structure where composite nodes should contain subnodes of the type element or technical node. If a composite node is defined but does not have the required subnodes, this error will occur.
  Missing Configuration: The configuration for the DMEE tree may be incomplete or incorrectly set up, leading to the absence of necessary subnodes.
  Typographical Errors: There may be typographical errors in the node definitions or in the configuration that prevent the correct nodes from being recognized.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check DMEE Tree Structure:
  
  Open the DMEE tree in transaction code OBPM or DMEE.
  Navigate to the composite node mentioned in the error message (Node &1).
  Ensure that the composite node has the required subnodes (elements or technical nodes) defined under it.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Subnodes:
  
  If the required subnodes are missing, add them to the composite node. Right-click on the composite node and select the option to add a new subnode.
  Define the subnode as either an element or a technical node as required by your configuration.
  
  
  
  Validate Configuration:
  
  After making changes, validate the DMEE tree to ensure that there are no other structural issues.
  Use the "Check" function in the DMEE transaction to identify any additional errors.
  
  
  
  Review Documentation:
  
  Consult the SAP documentation or help resources for DMEE to understand the expected structure and requirements for your specific use case.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the DMEE output generation to ensure that the error has been resolved.
