• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMEE_ABA356 - Node &1: Invalid constant value &2 because data type of node is numeric ?

  The SAP error message DMEE_ABA356 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the Data Medium Exchange Engine (DMEE) in SAP, specifically related to the data type of a node in the DMEE tree structure. The error message states that a constant value is invalid because the data type of the node is numeric, but a non-numeric value has been provided.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The node in the DMEE tree is defined to accept numeric values, but a constant value that is non-numeric (e.g., a string or alphanumeric) has been assigned to it.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the DMEE tree may have been set up incorrectly, leading to the assignment of an inappropriate constant value.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Node Configuration:
  
  Open the DMEE tree in transaction code DMEE.
  Locate the node that is causing the error (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  Verify the data type of the node. If it is set to numeric, ensure that any constant values assigned to this node are also numeric.
  
  
  
  Correct Constant Values:
  
  If a constant value is assigned to the node, ensure that it is a valid numeric value (e.g., integers or decimal numbers).
  If you need to use a non-numeric value, consider changing the data type of the node to a compatible type (e.g., alphanumeric) if that aligns with your requirements.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the DMEE configuration to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the output is as expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the correct data types or configurations, refer to the SAP documentation or help resources related to DMEE for guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction code DMEE to access the Data Medium Exchange Engine configuration.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address similar issues or provide additional guidance on DMEE configurations.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using debugging tools in SAP to trace the execution and identify where the invalid value is being set.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the DMEE_ABA356 error and ensure that your DMEE configuration is set up correctly.
