  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Pre-Exit: The most direct cause of this error is that a pre-exit that was previously defined for a Web Dynpro component has been deleted. This could happen due to changes in the application design or during a transport process where the pre-exit was not included.
  Transport Issues: If the pre-exit was part of a transport request and that request was not properly imported into the target system, it could lead to this error.

  Solution:
  
  Recreate the Pre-Exit: If the pre-exit is essential for the application, you may need to recreate it. This involves defining the pre-exit again in the Web Dynpro component.
  Check Transport Requests: Ensure that all relevant transport requests have been properly imported into the target system. If the pre-exit was part of a transport, verify that it was included and successfully imported.
  Review Application Configuration: Check the configuration of the Web Dynpro application to ensure that it does not reference any deleted pre-exits. Update the configuration as necessary.
  Consult Documentation: Review any documentation related to the Web Dynpro application to understand the role of the pre-exit and whether it can be safely removed or needs to be restored.
