• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HR99B_HRF_MESSAGES085 - Template &1: more than one XML root node found in T799BHRF04 ?

  The SAP error message HR99B_HRF_MESSAGES085 indicates that there is an issue with the XML template being processed in the system. Specifically, the error states that there is more than one XML root node found in the specified template (T799BHRF04). This typically occurs when the XML structure is not well-formed, meaning it does not conform to the expected format.
  Cause:
  
  Malformed XML: The XML file associated with the template has multiple root nodes, which is not allowed in XML structure. An XML document must have exactly one root element.
  Incorrect Template Configuration: The template might have been incorrectly configured or modified, leading to the presence of multiple root nodes.
  Data Import Issues: If the XML is generated from an external source or during data import, there might be issues in the data generation process that lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the XML Structure: Open the XML file associated with the template and ensure that it has a single root node. The structure should look like this:
  <root>
      <child1>...</child1>
      <child2>...</child2>
  </root>
  If you find multiple root nodes, you will need to correct the XML structure.
  
  
  Validate the XML: Use an XML validator tool to check for any structural issues in the XML file. This can help identify any other potential problems.
  
  
  Review Template Configuration: If you have access to the template configuration in SAP, review it to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no unintended modifications.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support resources for specific guidelines on the expected XML structure for the template in question.
