  Update the Query: If the characteristic has been removed from the InfoProvider, you may need to update the query to remove references to it or to replace it with a valid characteristic.
  
  
  Rebuild the Query: If the InfoProvider has undergone significant changes, consider rebuilding the query from scratch to ensure it aligns with the current structure of the InfoProvider.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the query has the necessary authorizations to access the InfoProvider and its characteristics.
