  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Data: The DDIC information file referenced in the error message is expected to contain data, but it is empty. This could be due to:
  
  Data not being loaded into the system.
  Incorrect configuration or setup of the data source.
  Issues during data extraction or loading processes.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The system might be incorrectly configured, leading to the expectation of data in a file that has not been populated.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the DDIC object was transported from another system, it might not have been properly populated with data.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Loading Processes: 
  
  Verify if the data loading processes (like ETL jobs) have been executed successfully. Check logs for any errors during data extraction or loading.
