  Causes:
  
  
  Missing Class Definition: The class that is supposed to be instantiated may not be defined in the system. This could happen if the class was deleted or not properly imported.
  
  
  Incorrect Class Name: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the class reference, leading to the system being unable to locate the class.
  
  
  Namespace Issues: If the class is defined in a specific namespace, and the namespace is not correctly referenced, the system may not find the class.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the class was recently transported from another system and the transport did not complete successfully, the class may not exist in the target system.
