• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_VALUE_MAPPING060 - Complex mapper: proxy element not found ?

  The SAP error message MDG_VALUE_MAPPING060 indicates that there is an issue with the complex mapper in the Master Data Governance (MDG) system, specifically that a proxy element could not be found. This error typically arises during data mapping processes, where the system is trying to map values from one structure to another, and it cannot find the expected proxy element.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Proxy Element: The most common cause is that the proxy element defined in the mapping configuration does not exist in the source or target structure.
  Incorrect Mapping Configuration: There may be an error in the mapping configuration itself, such as a typo or incorrect reference to the proxy element.
  Changes in Data Model: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the structures involved, the mapping may no longer be valid.
  Transport Issues: If the mapping configuration was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing elements.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Mapping Configuration: Review the mapping configuration in the MDG system to ensure that all proxy elements are correctly defined and exist in the source and target structures.
  Validate Data Model: Ensure that the data model has not changed in a way that affects the mapping. If changes have been made, update the mapping accordingly.
  Recreate Proxy Elements: If the proxy element is genuinely missing, you may need to recreate it in the relevant data structure.
  Transport Validation: If the issue arose after a transport, validate that all necessary objects were included in the transport request and that they were imported correctly.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the mapping process to identify where the failure occurs and gather more detailed information about the missing element.
