  Check for Corruption: Run database consistency checks or use database repair tools to identify and fix any corruption in the database objects.
  Monitor Resources: Check the database server's resource usage to ensure it has sufficient memory, CPU, and disk space. If resources are low, consider optimizing queries or increasing server capacity.
  Review Logs: Check the SAP application logs (transaction SLG1) and database logs for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context for the failure.
