Specifically, the error states that the Smart Form identified by the parameters &1 (the Smart Form name) and &2 (the form type or additional identifier) does not exist in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Smart Form: The Smart Form specified in the error message has not been created or has been deleted from the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration or settings that reference the Smart Form may be incorrect, leading to the system looking for a form that does not exist.
  Transport Issues: If the Smart Form was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request, or the transport may have failed.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the Smart Form, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solution:
