Hi Marco,
The definition generation process requires the data migration source to be up to date. This information is retrieved from the end product database and then updated in your branch. However, the error indicates that your branch is set to read-only for you. This read-only state should be indicated when you switch to the branch and is also displayed in the breadcrumb.
As a result of this read-only state, the data migration update and the subsequent jobs (such as generation) cannot be performed.
For more information about what this means and how to configure branch access, please see: https://docs.thinkwisesoftware.com/docs/sf/branches#set-up-branch-access.
Does this help?
Is indicium active (this can be checked by navigating to the indicium page)?
Also, what do you see in the jobs menu?

Thanks for your reply. I already found that, but could not find why the state was read-only. Other branches works fine. Therefor I deleted this branch and generated a new one. Now everything is working fine again. Beats me, but problem solved.
