  Cause:
  
  
  Invalid Switch BC Set: The error indicates that the system is unable to recognize the specified Switch BC set (indicated by &1). This could be due to:
  
  The Switch BC set not being defined or activated in the system.

  The Switch BC set being deleted or not available in the current system configuration.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the MDG system, particularly related to the data model or the switch framework.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to the Switch BC set not being properly imported.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify the Switch BC Set:
