  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_UTIL002 indicates that there is a mismatch between the header change state in the target system and the corresponding source system. This typically occurs during data transfer or synchronization processes, such as when using the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or other data replication tools.
  Cause:
