This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when dealing with data extraction, transformation, or loading processes.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The package size parameter has been set to zero or a negative value in the data transfer settings.
  Default Values: If the system defaults to a package size of zero due to misconfiguration or missing settings, this error can occur.

  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Package Size Setting:

  Ensure that the package size is set to a positive integer greater than zero.
  
  
  
  Modify DTP Settings:
  
  Go to the DTP in question.
  In the DTP properties, look for the "Package Size" field.
  Set the package size to a valid value (e.g., 1000, 5000, etc.) depending on your data volume and performance considerations.
  
  
  
  Review Default Settings:
  
  Check if there are any default settings in the system that might be causing the package size to default to zero.
  Adjust any relevant settings in the BW configuration.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the changes, run the data transfer process again to ensure that the error is resolved.
