    Cause:

    1. Missing Table: The error suggests that the system is trying to access a table named WBRFN, which does not exist in the database. This could be due to:

      • The table not being created or activated in the system.
      • A misconfiguration in the data migration setup.
      • An issue with the data model or mapping configuration.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The mapping or configuration settings in the Data Migration Cockpit may not be set up correctly, leading the system to look for a table that is not required or does not exist.
