How to fix this error?

It is possible that there are no cross-client subobjects such as the
table-specific OLAP views. The next time that the generation is
performed, the system will perform a complete generation for all clients
and ledgers. This can take a few minutes.
Check whether the error reoccurs when you perform the generation again.
The generation log is stored in the application log (transaction SLG1)
with the object 'HDB' and the subobject 'HDBG'.
