  Table Definition Issues: The table definition in the Data Dictionary may be inconsistent or corrupted, leading to activation failures.
  Transport Issues: If the table was recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to an incomplete or incorrect table definition.
  Missing Dependencies: The table may depend on other objects (like views, indexes, or other tables) that are not activated or are in an inconsistent state.
  Version Mismatch: There may be a version mismatch between the application and the database, especially if there have been recent upgrades or patches.
