• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message XMS_ADM054 - At least one pipeline element must exist ?

  The SAP error message XMS_ADM054 ("At least one pipeline element must exist") typically occurs in the context of SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when there is an issue with the configuration of a message processing pipeline. This error indicates that the system expects at least one pipeline element (like a receiver, sender, or processing step) to be defined, but none are found.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Pipeline Configuration: The most common cause is that the pipeline configuration for the specific integration scenario is incomplete or missing.
  Incorrect Mapping: If the mapping or routing is not set up correctly, it may lead to the absence of necessary pipeline elements.

  Check Pipeline Configuration:
  
  Go to the Integration Directory and check the configuration of the relevant scenario.
  Ensure that at least one pipeline element (like a sender or receiver agreement) is defined.
  
  
  
  Review Mapping and Routing:
