• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_OITC_CUST004 - Key structure exceeds maximum length for key mapping ?

  The SAP error message MDG_OITC_CUST004 indicates that the key structure for key mapping exceeds the maximum length allowed. This error typically occurs in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) when you are trying to map keys between different systems or data sources, and the key structure you are using is longer than what is permitted by the system.
  
  Cause:
  
  Key Length Exceeded: The key structure you are trying to use for mapping exceeds the maximum length defined in the system. Each key mapping has a defined maximum length, and if your key structure surpasses this limit, the error will be triggered.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the key mapping settings or the data model that leads to the generation of excessively long keys.
  Data Model Design: The design of the data model may not align with the constraints of the key mapping, leading to longer keys than expected.
