  The SAP error message SPRX291 indicates that a main object (such as a proxy) is not found in the SPROXHDR table. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Process Integration (PI) or SAP Process Orchestration (PO) when dealing with proxy objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Proxy Definition: The specified proxy object (identified by &1, &2, &3, &4) is not defined in the SPROXHDR table. This could happen if the proxy was not generated correctly or if it was deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the proxy was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that caused the proxy definition to be incomplete or missing.
  Namespace Issues: The proxy might be defined in a different namespace than expected, leading to a mismatch.
  Development Environment Issues: If you are working in a development environment, the proxy might not have been activated or generated properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Proxy Definition: Verify that the proxy object is correctly defined in the SAP system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SPROXY) and checking if the proxy exists.
  Re-generate Proxy: If the proxy is missing, you may need to regenerate it. This can be done by using the transaction SPROXY and selecting the appropriate options to regenerate the proxy.

  Check Namespaces: Ensure that the namespaces are correctly configured and that you are looking for the proxy in the right namespace.
  Activate the Proxy: If the proxy exists but is not activated, you may need to activate it in the relevant development environment.
  Check for Errors in the Development Environment: If you are in a development environment, check for any errors during the proxy generation process that might have prevented it from being created properly.
