• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE673 - Inconsistent tree: Node &1 is missing ?

  The SAP error message DMEE673 ("Inconsistent tree: Node &1 is missing") typically occurs in the context of the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) when there is an issue with the structure of the DMEE tree configuration. This error indicates that a specific node in the DMEE tree is expected but is not found, leading to inconsistencies in the tree structure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Node: The error is primarily caused by a missing node in the DMEE tree structure. This can happen if the tree was modified, and a node that is referenced elsewhere in the configuration has been deleted or not created.
  Incorrect Configuration: If the DMEE tree is not configured correctly, it may lead to references to nodes that do not exist.
  Transport Issues: If the DMEE configuration was transported from one system to another, there might be inconsistencies if the transport did not include all necessary components.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the DMEE Tree Structure:
  
  Go to the DMEE transaction (usually transaction code DMEE).
  Open the relevant DMEE tree and verify that all nodes are present and correctly configured.
  Look for the node mentioned in the error message (replace &1 with the actual node name) and ensure it exists.
  
  
  
  Recreate Missing Nodes:
  
  If the node is indeed missing, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that the properties and settings of the node match the expected configuration.
  
  
  
  Validate the Tree:
  
  Use the validation feature in the DMEE transaction to check for any inconsistencies in the tree structure. This can help identify other potential issues.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Review any dependencies or references to the missing node in other parts of the DMEE configuration. Ensure that all references are valid and point to existing nodes.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport the missing components.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to DMEE for any specific guidelines or troubleshooting steps that may apply to your version of SAP.
