  SAP Error Message:
  WEBI_CHECKS018: Table &1 must not contain data for Proxy related Service Definition &2
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence (WebI) when working with Proxy related Service Definitions. The message indicates that a specific database table (represented by &1) contains data when it should be empty for the Proxy related Service Definition (represented by &2).
  In other words, during the processing or deployment of a Proxy Service Definition, the system expects certain tables to be empty (no data) to avoid conflicts or inconsistencies. If these tables contain data, the system raises this error to prevent further processing.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Attempting to import or update a Proxy Service Definition when the underlying tables already have residual or conflicting data.
  Incomplete cleanup of previous Proxy Service Definitions or related objects.
  Data inconsistencies caused by manual changes or failed previous operations.
