  Cause:

  Missing Join Definition: The join you are trying to reference has not been defined in the data model or is not available in the context of the query.
  Incorrect Join Path: The join path you are trying to use may not be valid or may have been altered or deleted.
  Data Source Issues: The data source you are using may not have the necessary joins defined, or there may be inconsistencies in the data model.

  Check Authorizations: Make sure that the user executing the query has the necessary authorizations to access the data sources and joins involved.
