This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when dealing with InfoProviders, especially during data loading or when trying to access data.
  Cause:
  
  Table Deletion: The specified table or its shadow table may have been deleted or not created properly.
  Incorrect Table Name: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the request that is trying to access the table.
  Transport Issues: If the table was recently transported from another system, the transport may not have included the necessary database objects.
  Database Issues: There could be issues with the database connection or the database itself, leading to the table not being recognized.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model (like InfoObject or InfoProvider changes) that have not been properly activated or replicated.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Existence: Verify if the table and its shadow table exist in the database. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to check for the existence of the tables.
