This error typically arises when attempting to extract hierarchical data from a datasource that has not been set up correctly for this purpose.
  Cause:
  
  Datasource Configuration: The datasource you are trying to use for hierarchy extraction is not configured in the system. This could be due to missing settings or incorrect configuration in the MDG system.
