• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_IEF_MSG055 - Software component &1 is registered for programm-based SWC transport ?

  The SAP error message ESH_IEF_MSG055 indicates that a software component (SWC) is registered for program-based transport, which typically means that there is an issue with the transport configuration or the way the software component is set up in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Configuration: The software component may not be properly configured for transport. This can happen if the transport layer is not set up correctly or if the software component is not assigned to the correct transport route.
