This warning typically arises during the generation of the CO-PA data structures or when executing certain transactions related to CO-PA.
  Cause:
  The warning message is generally triggered due to the following reasons:
  
  Client-Independent Environment: The system is trying to generate or modify CO-PA data structures that are client-independent, which may not be the intended behavior in a multi-client environment.
