  Data Deletion: Active records may have been deleted from the DSO or InfoProvider, either manually or through a data management process.
  
  
  Data Activation Problems: If the data is not activated properly after being loaded into the DSO, it may not be available for reporting or further processing.
  
  
  Incorrect Query Configuration: If the query is not configured correctly to point to the right DSO or InfoProvider, it may lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Data Load Status: Verify the status of the data load process. Check the process chains and monitor for any errors or warnings that may indicate why data is missing.
