It occurs because your user name (mentioned in the above error) no longer belongs to an active profile, but is still added to the external account Share KPIs with Adobe Analytics (shareKPI) as the Web Service User Name.

- Go to Administration
>Application settings>External account. - Choose Share KPIs with Adobe Analytics (shareKPI), and change the Web Service User Name.
