  Check DTP Configuration: Review the DTP settings to ensure that the mode selected (e.g., Full, Delta, or Init) is appropriate for the source and target InfoProviders.
  Validate Source and Target: Ensure that both the source and target InfoProviders are correctly configured and support the mode you are trying to use.
  Adjust Data Flow: If there are inconsistencies in the data flow, adjust the settings in the DTP or the InfoProviders to ensure compatibility.
  Test with Different Modes: If possible, try executing the DTP with different modes to see if the error persists.
