This error indicates that there is a mapping issue between the PFCG roles and the DCL sources.
  Cause:
  
  Missing DCL Source: The error usually arises when a PFCG role is trying to reference a DCL source that does not exist or is not properly defined in the system.
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be a misconfiguration in the mapping between the PFCG role and the DCL source.
  Transport Issues: If the DCL source was transported from another system, it might not have been transported correctly, leading to inconsistencies.

  Transport Check: If the DCL source was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs to ensure it was included and correctly imported into the target system.
  Authorization Object Review: Ensure that the authorization objects used in the PFCG role are correctly linked to the DCL source. You may need to adjust the authorization objects or the DCL configuration accordingly.
