  Solutions:
  
  Check View Existence: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the view exists in the database. If it does not, you may need to create it or regenerate it.

  Check Authorizations: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the view. This can be done by checking the user roles and authorizations in transaction SU01.
  Database Connection: Ensure that the database connection is functioning correctly. You can check this in transaction DBACOCKPIT or by consulting with your database administrator.
