  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE808 - Incorrect node &1 position; Current type of parent node is not allowed ?

    The SAP error message DMEE808 indicates that there is an issue with the structure of the Data Medium Exchange (DMEE) format you are trying to generate. Specifically, it points to an incorrect position of a node in the DMEE tree structure, where the current type of the parent node does not allow for the child node to be positioned as it is.

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect Node Positioning: The node you are trying to add or reference is not allowed in the current context of the parent node. This could be due to a misconfiguration in the DMEE tree structure.
    2. Hierarchy Violations: The DMEE configuration may have specific rules about which nodes can be children of which parent nodes. If the node you are trying to use does not comply with these rules, the error will occur.
    3. Data Structure Changes: If there have been recent changes to the DMEE configuration or the underlying data structure, it may have introduced inconsistencies.

    Solution:

    1. Check DMEE Configuration: Review the DMEE tree structure in transaction code DMEE. Ensure that the node in question is correctly positioned according to the hierarchy defined in the DMEE configuration.
    2. Validate Node Types: Ensure that the node types are compatible. For example, if a parent node is defined to only accept certain types of child nodes, make sure that the node you are trying to add matches those criteria.
    3. Adjust Node Properties: If necessary, adjust the properties of the nodes in the DMEE tree to ensure that they align with the expected structure.
    4. Test Changes: After making adjustments, test the DMEE output again to see if the error persists.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on DMEE configurations and node relationships.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction DMEE: This is the main transaction for configuring the Data Medium Exchange formats in SAP. You can use it to view and edit the DMEE tree structure.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address known issues or provide additional guidance on DMEE configurations.
    • Community Forums: SAP Community and other forums can be helpful for finding similar issues faced by other users and the solutions they implemented.

    If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who specializes in DMEE configurations.
