  The SAP error message SATCM502, which states "Object owner &1 does not exist," typically occurs when the system is unable to find the specified owner of an object in the database. This can happen in various contexts, such as when dealing with database objects, transport requests, or other system components.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent User/Owner: The specified owner (user or schema) does not exist in the SAP system or database.
