• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_ANLY_SOURCES756 - XML is empty ?

  The SAP error message MDG_ANLY_SOURCES756: XML is empty typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when the system expects an XML input for processing but receives an empty XML document instead. This can happen during data import or data processing scenarios where XML is used as the data interchange format.
  Causes:
  
  Empty XML Document: The most straightforward cause is that the XML document being sent to the system is empty or not properly formed.
  Data Extraction Issues: If the data extraction process fails or does not retrieve any data, it may result in an empty XML.
  Incorrect Mapping: If the mapping between the source data and the XML structure is incorrect, it may lead to an empty output.
  Network Issues: If there are network issues during the transmission of the XML, it might not be received correctly.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration in the MDG setup or in the data source can lead to issues in generating the XML.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check XML Generation: Ensure that the process generating the XML is functioning correctly and that it produces a valid, non-empty XML document.
  Validate XML Structure: Use XML validation tools to check if the XML structure is correct and adheres to the expected schema.
  Review Data Source: Verify that the data source from which the XML is generated contains the expected data. If the source is empty, the XML will also be empty.
  Debug the Process: If you have access to the backend, debug the process that generates the XML to identify where it might be failing.
  Check Logs: Review the application logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the failure.
  Network Monitoring: If applicable, monitor the network traffic to ensure that the XML is being transmitted correctly without any interruptions.
