  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Object: The specified persistence object (e.g., a database table, view, or other data structure) has not been created or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the system where the object is expected to exist but is not properly defined.
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, it may not have been included in the transport request or may not have been activated properly.
