  Causes:

  Data Source Issues: The underlying data source (InfoProvider) may not be correctly set up or may not contain the necessary data.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the query may not have the necessary authorizations to access the data or the query itself.
  Technical Issues: There may be technical issues such as inconsistencies in the data model, missing objects, or problems with the transport of query definitions.
