  The SAP error message XO_COCKPIT020 indicates that a listener object specified in your configuration does not exist in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Event Management or similar applications where listeners are used to monitor and respond to events.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Listener: The listener object referenced in the configuration is either not created or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a typo or incorrect reference in the configuration settings where the listener is defined.
  Transport Issues: If the listener was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported or activated in the target system.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the listener object.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Listener Existence:
  
  Check if the listener object exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SLG1 for application logs or the specific transaction for managing listeners).
  If it does not exist, you will need to create it.
