How to fix this error?

To solve the problem, you must first identify the cause, as follows:
The <DS:TRAN.SCC3>Client Copy Log</> (transaction SCC3) tells you where
the error occurred, i.e. the last phase processed and the last exit
program (for phase N?) or the last table processed (for phase C?).
The associated file log often contains further information.
If the copy was scheduled in the background, analyze the job log and any
<DS:TRAN.SM37>background job</> (transaction SM37) spool.
If the program was cancelled before the reason for the cancellation
could be logged, check the <DS:TRAN.SM21>SysLog</> (transaction SM21)
and the <DS:TRAN.ST22>Runtime Analysis</> (transaction ST22).
If it is a remote copy, check the SysLog in the source system.
For table definition (DDIC) problems, check the table with the
<DS:TRAN.SE14>Database Utility</> (transaction SE14).
If the error occurred in an exit program or application function module,
you can get the application component of the exit from the
<DS:TRAN.SCC3>log</> (either directly in the overview page, or under
<ZK>Details -> Exit Program</>). Search for a note in the note system
with the name of the application exit.
Note 22541 contains further information about analyzing errors and
searching for notes.
When you have resolved the error, you can continue the copy, in restart
mode if the copy phase had already been reached.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
