How To Fix DMEE683 - Node &1 is redefined; no attribute changes of parent tree are applied

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

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

• Message number: 683

• Message text: Node &1 is redefined; no attribute changes of parent tree are applied

What causes this issue?

You are trying to perform synchronization for a node that has been
changed in the <ZH>parent</> tree. However, the node has the flag
"Redefined", which means that the node was activated, deactivated or
changed by a user in the <ZH>child</> tree.

System Response

The system does not synchronize the change in the node.

How to fix this error?

If you want to synchronize the change and overwrite the manual changes
in the child tree, perform the following steps:
Select the node in the child tree (you can just click on the Node ID in
the line with red icon).
Press the <LS>Revert to Original</> button.
Confirm the change in the <LS>Revert to Original </>dialog box.
If you want to preserve the manual changes and also make the changes
from the parent tree, check if there are more changes in the parent tree
or in the child tree and act as follows:
If there are more changes in the parent tree, synchronize the node the
same way as for the previous lines and repeat your manual changes
manually (you can choose <LS>Child Tree Before Synchronization </>for
the left tree for this reason)
If there are more changes in the child tree, do the changes from the
parent tree manually in the child tree.

Procedure for System Administrators

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE683 - Node &1 is redefined; no attribute changes of parent tree are applied ?

  The SAP error message DMEE683 indicates that there is a problem with the Data Medium Exchange (DMEE) configuration, specifically related to the redefinition of a node in the DMEE tree structure. This error typically occurs when a node is redefined in a way that conflicts with its parent node, particularly regarding attributes that are expected to be inherited.
  Cause:
  The error message DMEE683 is triggered when:
  
  A node in the DMEE tree is redefined, but the attributes of the parent node are not being applied to the child node as expected.
  This can happen if the child node has been configured with different attributes that conflict with those of the parent node, or if the redefinition is not properly set up.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DMEE683 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Node Redefinition:
  
  Review the DMEE tree structure and identify the node that is causing the issue. Ensure that the redefinition of the node is necessary and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Verify Attributes:
  
  Compare the attributes of the parent node and the redefined child node. Ensure that any necessary attributes are either inherited or explicitly defined in a compatible manner.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If the child node does not need to redefine the parent attributes, consider removing the redefinition or adjusting the attributes to align with the parent node.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making adjustments, test the DMEE configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the output is as expected.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to the DMEE configuration for future reference and to assist other team members who may encounter similar issues.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  DMEE Configuration: Familiarize yourself with the DMEE configuration process, including how to create and manage DMEE trees, nodes, and attributes.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional insights or updates related to DMEE configuration and error handling.
  Community Forums: Consider searching or posting in SAP community forums for additional support from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
