This error indicates that the message identifier being used is not recognized as being part of the allowed namespaces defined in the configuration.

  Review Configuration: Go to the Integration Directory and check the configuration for the relevant scenario. Ensure that the message types and namespaces are correctly defined.
  Test with Valid Data: If possible, test the integration with a sample XML message that is known to be valid and conforms to the expected schema.
