• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE_ABA328 - Error aggregating node &1: aggregation type is inconsistent ?

  The SAP error message DMEE_ABA328 indicates that there is an issue with the aggregation of nodes in the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) configuration. Specifically, the error states that the aggregation type is inconsistent for the specified node. This typically occurs when the configuration for the DMEE format is not set up correctly, leading to discrepancies in how data is being aggregated.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Aggregation Types: The aggregation type defined for the node does not match the expected type for the data being processed. For example, if one child node is set to aggregate data in a certain way (e.g., sum, count) and another child node is set to a different aggregation type, this inconsistency can trigger the error.
  Incorrect Node Configuration: The node may not be configured properly in the DMEE tree structure, leading to conflicts in how data should be aggregated.
  Missing or Incorrect Mapping: If the mapping of fields in the DMEE configuration does not align with the expected structure, it can lead to aggregation issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Node Configuration: Review the configuration of the node that is causing the error. Ensure that the aggregation type is consistent across all child nodes. If necessary, adjust the aggregation types to ensure they match.
  Review Aggregation Settings: Go through the aggregation settings for the parent and child nodes. Make sure that they are set up correctly and that there are no conflicting settings.
  Validate Mapping: Ensure that the mapping of fields in the DMEE configuration is correct and that all required fields are included. If there are any discrepancies, correct them.
  Test Configuration: After making changes, test the DMEE configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs. You can do this by running a test export or generating a sample output.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the correct settings, refer to the SAP documentation for DMEE or consult with a colleague who has experience with DMEE configurations.
