How to fix this error?

Contact your system administrator for an analysis and solution to the
problem.

Procedure for System Administrators

Check the following:
Check if data type &v2& is created as a structure in the ABAP Dictionary
(transaction SE11).
Perform the following checks for credential type &v1& :
First check if, for the descriptions of credential type &v1& , the
<DS:GLOS.44B0109246864888E10000000A1553FE>definition type </> <ZK>
standard credential</> (STD_CRED) or <ZK>standard referencing credential
</> (STD_AFF) is defined.
If credential type &v1& references a definition type other than STD_CRED
or STD_AFF, a customer implementation is being used. In this case, check
your own implementation for errors.
Otherwise check that in Customizing for <ZK>Credentialing</> under <ZK>
Configure Credential Types</> -> <ZK>Determine How Credential
Descriptions Are Defined</> the correct definition structure for
descriptions is referenced. The definition structure is created as a
transparent table in the ABAP Dictionary. Definition structures should
<ZH>only</> be created in the design of the credentialing application as
instances of tables CRD00_CRD01 (simple credential types) or CRD00_AF01
(referencing credential types). This is the only way to ensure that the
definition structures fulfill the formal requirements. The name of the
definition structure <ZH>must</> match the example <(><<)>
Application>_CRD<(><<)>Instance number> or <(><<)>Application>_AF<(><<)>
Instance number>.
