  Causes:
  
  Configuration Issues: The MBC process may not be properly configured in the system. This could include missing or incorrect settings in the ILM configuration.

  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the MBC process. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the user profile.
  System Performance: Check system performance metrics to identify any bottlenecks. If the system is under heavy load, consider scheduling the MBC process during off-peak hours.
