  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_I2B002 Structure &1 cannot be source of a synchronization; &1 does not exist typically indicates that the system is trying to perform a synchronization operation involving a structure that is not recognized or does not exist in the system. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) or when dealing with data synchronization between different systems or environments.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Structure: The structure specified by &1 does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the structure name or the structure not being created or activated.
  Incorrect Configuration: The synchronization configuration may be pointing to an incorrect or outdated structure.
  Transport Issues: If the structure was recently transported from another system, it may not have been successfully imported or activated in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the synchronization may not have the necessary authorizations to access the structure.
