What causes this issue?

An attempt was made to read the query variant. The query variant
contains the selection conditions and additional settings that were
made when the query was created. For the variant to be read, the query
must first be generated. The generation terminates, however, with an
error.

System Response

The variant cannot be read. As a consequence neither the selection
conditions nor the additional settings can be determined. The query is
thus loaded without the variant information.
