  Cause:
  
  Missing Staging Table: The primary cause of this error is that the staging table, which is supposed to temporarily hold data during the ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process, has not been created or is missing from the database.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data flow or data model that references a non-existent staging table.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or the underlying database schema, the staging table may not have been updated or created accordingly.
  Transport Issues: If the system has been recently transported from another environment (e.g., development to production), the staging table may not have been included in the transport.
  
  Solution:
  
  Create the Staging Table: If the staging table is indeed missing, you will need to create it. This can typically be done through the Data Management tools or by executing the appropriate SQL commands to create the table in the database.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings in your data management tool to ensure that the staging table is correctly defined and that all necessary parameters are set.
  Review Data Model: If there have been changes to the data model, ensure that all related objects, including staging tables, are updated accordingly.
  Transport Validation: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that the staging table was included and correctly transported. If it was not, you may need to manually create it or re-transport the necessary objects.
