  Causes:
  
  Table Status: The table may be in a status that does not allow for generation or activation. Common statuses include "Inactive," "Transport," or "Locked."
  Transport Issues: If the table is part of a transport request that is not released or is in a different status, it may lead to this error.
  Database Issues: There may be underlying database issues that prevent the generation of the table.
