  The SAP error message ISSR_TP028 indicates that a specific database table (denoted as &1 in the message) does not exist or is not active in the ABAP Dictionary. This error typically arises in scenarios where the system is trying to access a table that has not been created, has been deleted, or is not properly activated.
  Causes:
  
  Table Not Created: The table may not have been created in the database. This can happen if the table was supposed to be generated as part of a transport request but was not successfully imported.
  Table Not Active: The table exists in the ABAP Dictionary but is not active. This can occur if the table was created but not activated after its definition was modified.
  Transport Issues: If the table was part of a transport request, there may have been issues during the transport process that prevented the table from being created or activated in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the table, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Table Existence:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the table exists. Enter the table name and see if it is listed.

  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the table is supposed to be part of a transport, check the transport logs for any errors. You may need to re-import the transport request or manually create the table if it was not included.
  
  
  
  Check for Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the table. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Table:
  
  If the table does not exist and you have the definition, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that you have the correct structure and data types as per the original design.
