This error typically occurs in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG) when the system is trying to access or process a specific object that is not found in the generator catalog.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Object: The object specified by &1 (object type) and &2 (object key) is not present in the generator catalog. This could be due to:

  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the generator catalog itself, such as incorrect settings or missing entries.
