What causes this issue?

graphics product is not a control (ActiveX or JavaBean).

How to fix this error?

It probably involves a programming error in the Graphical Framework.
You should inform your system administrator.

Procedure for System Administrators

Check the product selection. If a non-control product can be used as
the fallback strategy then this return value "non-control" should be
ignored in the program calling the method.
Make sure that no control functionality is absolutely necessary. If
necessary, the application must force a specific product to be used
(see method IF_GRAPHIC_PROXY~INIT).
