This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Web Dynpro development, where an interface is expected to be defined but is missing or incorrectly referenced.

    Causes:

    1. Non-existent Interface: The interface you are trying to use has not been created or does not exist in the system.
    2. Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the name of the interface you are trying to reference.
    3. Transport Issues: If the interface was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or may not exist in the target system.
    4. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the interface.
