  The SAP error message CW027 indicates that the request you are trying to process is not a Workbench request. This typically occurs when you are attempting to transport or release a request that is not classified as a Workbench request, which is necessary for certain types of changes in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Request Type: The request you are trying to work with is likely a Customizing request (also known as a configuration request) rather than a Workbench request. Workbench requests are used for development objects, while Customizing requests are used for configuration settings.
