  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent DSO: The DataStore Object you are trying to access or update does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the DSO name or the DSO being deleted or not activated.
  Version Mismatch: The version specified in the error message may not correspond to any existing version of the DSO. This can happen if the DSO was changed or if there are inconsistencies in the metadata.

  Check Transport Logs: If the DSO was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate issues during the transport process.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the DSO. You may need to consult with your security team to verify this.
