• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMPS_IMPORT019 - Target node &1 (type &2) is not a container; inserts not possible ?

  The SAP error message RMPS_IMPORT019 indicates that there is an issue with the data import process, specifically that the target node specified in the import operation is not recognized as a container. This means that the system is trying to insert data into a node that is not capable of holding data, which is why the operation fails.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Node Type: The target node specified in the import operation is not of a type that can contain data. For example, it might be a leaf node instead of a container node.
  Data Structure Mismatch: The structure of the data being imported does not match the expected structure in the target node.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the data model or the way the nodes are defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Node Type: Verify that the target node (&1) is indeed a container type node. You can do this by checking the data model or the configuration settings in the relevant SAP module.
  Review Data Structure: Ensure that the data you are trying to import matches the expected structure for the target node. This includes checking the data types and the hierarchy of the nodes.
  Adjust Import Logic: If the target node is not meant to hold data, you may need to adjust your import logic to point to a valid container node.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific module you are working with to understand the expected data structures and node types.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can trace the import process to see where the mismatch occurs and gather more information about the error.
