This typically occurs during the process of data extraction or transformation when the system is unable to find the required InfoObject in the target structure.
  Cause:

  Update DataSource:
  
  If the DataSource is not configured correctly, you may need to adjust its settings to ensure that it includes the necessary InfoObjects.
