This error often arises when the system is unable to find a suitable configuration for the application or when the application is not properly set up in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Configuration: The error usually occurs when the system cannot find a valid configuration for the UI5 application. This can happen if the application is not registered correctly in the system.
  Incorrect Values: The message suggests that the system is looking for specific values (DEFAULT or values starting with 'Y' or 'Z') in the configuration settings, and these values are either missing or not set correctly.
  Transport Issues: If the application was recently transported from a development system to a production system, there may be missing configurations or settings that were not included in the transport.

  Transport Validation: 
  
  If the application was transported, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport.
  You may need to manually adjust configurations in the target system to match those in the source system.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
