  The SAP error message SRF_AUTHORING259 indicates that there is an issue with a query where a specific structure type associated with a parameter cannot be found. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA when working with queries in the Query Designer or when executing reports.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Structure Definition: The structure type associated with the parameter is not defined in the system. This could happen if the structure was deleted or not properly activated.
  Incorrect Query Configuration: The query might be referencing a structure that is not available in the current context or has been changed.
  Transport Issues: If the query or its associated structures were transported from one system to another, there might be inconsistencies or missing objects.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user might not have the necessary authorizations to access the structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Structure Definition:
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check if the structure type associated with the parameter exists.

  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user executing the query has the necessary authorizations to access the structure and the query itself.
  You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
