• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_COS_TEST004 - Transport of SAP GW test cases only inside SAP ?

  The error message /IWFND/CM_COS_TEST004 in SAP Gateway typically relates to the transport of test cases associated with the SAP Gateway service. This error indicates that the transport of certain test cases is restricted to the SAP system and cannot be transported to other systems.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the test cases for SAP Gateway services are designed to be used only within the development environment. SAP restricts the transport of these test cases to ensure that they are not inadvertently moved to production or other environments where they may not be relevant or could cause issues.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: Ensure that you are not trying to include test cases in your transport request. If you are, remove them from the transport request.
  
  
  Use Local Testing: If you need to test your Gateway services, do so in the local development environment. You can execute the test cases directly in the development system without the need for transport.
  
  
  Manual Testing: If you need to validate the functionality in other environments, consider manually creating test cases or using other testing tools available in SAP.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation related to Gateway services and test cases for any updates or changes in transport procedures.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this issue or provide additional guidance on handling test cases in transports.
