This error indicates that the system is attempting to write records that do not contain any data, which is not allowed.
  Causes:
  
  Empty Data Records: The most common cause is that the data being processed contains records that are completely empty or do not meet the required criteria for being considered valid.

  Solutions:
  
  Check Data Source: Verify the source data to ensure that it contains valid records. Look for any missing or null values that could lead to blank records.
  Data Validation: Implement data validation checks in your ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process to filter out blank records before they are written to the target.
  Review Transformation Logic: Examine any transformation rules or logic applied to the data. Ensure that they are correctly configured to handle data appropriately and do not produce blank records.
  Adjust Data Mapping: Ensure that the mapping between the source and target is correctly defined, and that all required fields are being populated.
  Use Filters: If applicable, use filters in your data extraction or loading process to exclude records that do not meet certain criteria (e.g., records with null or empty fields).
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider enabling debugging or logging to capture more detailed information about the data being processed, which can help identify the source of the blank records.
