This error indicates that there is an issue with the export of table sizes to the control file, which can lead to the termination of the process.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Memory: The process may require more memory than is currently allocated, leading to a failure when trying to export the table sizes.
  Database Locking Issues: If there are locks on the database tables being accessed, it can prevent the export from completing successfully.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the migration tool or in the SAP system can lead to this error.
  Large Data Volumes: If the tables being processed contain a very large amount of data, it may exceed the limits of the control file or the processing capabilities of the system.

  Review Configuration: Ensure that all configuration settings for the migration tool are correct. This includes checking parameters related to file paths, memory settings, and any other relevant configurations.
  Batch Processing: If the data volume is too large, consider breaking the migration process into smaller batches to reduce the load on the system.
  File System Check: Ensure that there is enough disk space on the file system where the control file is being written. Check for any file system errors that may need to be resolved.
