  Naming Conflicts: There may be a naming conflict with existing objects in the DDIC, such as a table or structure with the same name.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There could be underlying technical issues, such as database inconsistencies or problems with the transport layer.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the CoTab or related objects may be incorrect or incomplete.
