Diagnoses

The error indicates that the Method "Create" was missing on the Target SmartObject.
 

Resolution


After comparing both Source and Destination Databases, we noticed that the table referenced in the error was missing all the CRUD methods. This was because there was no Primary Key set. After creating the Primary Key and refreshing the service instance the error went away. We had a similar issue with another Table, but in this case there was a Missing Column. After adding the column to the table and recreating the SMO we were able to successfully load the form.
