This error indicates that the system is unable to find an active transfer structure for the specified DataSource in the source system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Transfer Structure: The most common cause is that the transfer structure for the specified DataSource has not been created or activated in the source system.
  Incorrect DataSource Configuration: The DataSource may not be properly configured or may not be linked to the correct transfer structure.
