• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING100 - Schema can have only a single root element ?

  The SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING100 indicates that there is an issue with the XML schema definition (XSD) used in your SAP application. Specifically, the error states that the schema can only have a single root element, which means that the XML schema you are trying to use defines multiple root elements, which is not allowed.
  
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Root Elements: The XML schema (XSD) file you are using defines more than one root element. In XML, a valid document must have exactly one root element.
  Incorrect Schema Definition: The schema may have been incorrectly defined or generated, leading to multiple root elements being declared.
  Merging Schemas: If you have merged multiple schemas, it is possible that the resulting schema has multiple root elements.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review the XSD File: Open the XSD file in a text editor or XML editor and check for the <xs:schema> declaration. Ensure that there is only one root element defined within the schema.
