  Cause:
  
  Missing Shadow Structures: The primary cause of this error is that the shadow DDIC structures, which are required for the data transfer process, have not been created or are not available for the specified destination.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be an issue with the configuration of the data transfer settings, leading to the system not being able to find the necessary structures.
  Transport Issues: If the shadow structures were supposed to be transported from another system (e.g., development to production), there may have been an issue during the transport process.

  Review Configuration: Ensure that the configuration settings for the data transfer process are correct. This includes checking the destination settings and ensuring that they point to the correct target system.
  Transport Check: If the structures were supposed to be transported, check the transport logs for any errors or issues that may have occurred during the transport process.
