• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSWADMDERR2129 - is not allowed after elements ?

  The SAP error message RSWADMDERR2129, which states <!DOCTYPE> is not allowed after elements, typically occurs in the context of XML processing within SAP systems. This error indicates that there is an issue with the structure of an XML document being processed, specifically that the <!DOCTYPE> declaration is incorrectly placed after elements in the XML.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect XML Structure: The XML document is not well-formed. In XML, the <!DOCTYPE> declaration must appear at the very beginning of the document, before any other elements.
  Malformed XML: There may be additional characters or elements before the <!DOCTYPE> declaration, which violates XML syntax rules.
  Data Source Issues: If the XML is generated from a data source or an external system, it may not be generating the XML correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check XML Structure: Ensure that the XML document starts with the <!DOCTYPE> declaration, if it is needed. The correct structure should look like this:
  <!DOCTYPE root-element [
      <!-- DTD definitions -->
  ]>
  <root-element>
      <!-- Other elements -->
  </root-element>
  
  Validate XML: Use an XML validator to check the structure of your XML document. This can help identify any syntax errors or misplaced elements.
  Review Data Generation Logic: If the XML is generated programmatically, review the code or logic that creates the XML to ensure it adheres to XML standards.
  Modify the Source: If the XML is coming from an external source, you may need to modify the source or handle the XML in a way that corrects the structure before it is processed by SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  XML Standards: Familiarize yourself with XML standards and best practices to avoid similar issues in the future.
  SAP Documentation: Check SAP documentation or forums for specific guidance related to the transaction or process you are working with.
  Debugging Tools: Utilize debugging tools within SAP to trace the XML processing and identify where the error occurs.
  
  By addressing the structure of the XML and ensuring it is well-formed, you should be able to resolve the RSWADMDERR2129 error.
