This error indicates that the system is trying to access a context structure that has not been defined or is not available in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Context Structure: The specified context structure does not exist in the system. This could be due to a configuration issue or a missing implementation.
  Incorrect Configuration: The value mapping configuration may not be set up correctly, leading to the system looking for a non-existent structure.
  Transport Issues: If the system is newly upgraded or if changes were transported from another system, the context structure may not have been included in the transport.
