  Review Action Types:
  
  Ensure that the action types are compatible. For example, if you are using a specific type of action, make sure that the initialization action is appropriate for that context.
  
  
  
  Test the Configuration:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the BRF rules to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the actions are executed as expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
