    How to fix this error?

    You need to schedule a periodic job with the function "Job Control"
    from the logistics extraction cockpit. This job regularly transfers the
    data from the queue for application &V1& into the BW delta queue for
    the respective DataSource. This job needs to run <ZH>hourly</>.
    <ZH>Important</>:
    Before transporting the customizing requests for changing the update
    mode in other systems, you <ZH>must</> check to see if all V3 update
    entries in this system for the function module MCEX_UPDATE_&V1&* have
    the status "OK" or "Update Executed". It is possible to check the
    target system in the update overview (transaction SM13).
    Otherwise, the old delta information is no longer automatically
    transferred into the BW system after changing the update mode.
