The provided Secure Store target application is either incorrectly configured or does not exist


Yesterday, i was configuring Schedule PowerPivot Data Refresh as per this microsoft article: 
What i did exactly ?
-Open a SharePoint 2010 site
-Uploads Powerpivot
-selects schedule a data refresh for the workbook
-at step 7, i have selected third option i.e. The user enters a known existing Secure Store Target application ID in the Credentials section inside the "Connect using the credentials saved in Secure Store Service" field.
-Clicks OK to save the schedule and got the following error message:
"The provided Secure Store target application is either incorrectly configured or does not exist"

I have successfully resolved this issue by following the below mentioned steps:
Note: I am still debugging this issue to find out the root cause. Will share the details asap.

Resolution Steps:
1.       In Central Administration browse to Application Management 
2.       Click Manage Service Applications
3.       Click to the right of the Secure Store Application link so the row appears highlighted. The objective is to activate the Administrators button in the menu ribbon.  
4.       Click on the Administrators button and add the user (or an appropriate security group including user) to the field.  
5.       Click Add, and then check the "Manage target applications" check box.
