Specifically, the error states that the specified class (denoted as &1) is not a valid executor class because it does not implement the required interface (denoted as &2).
  Cause
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Incorrect Class Name: The class name specified in the configuration might be incorrect or misspelled.
  Missing Implementation: The class does not implement the required interface that is expected by the AIF framework.
  Class Not Activated: The class may not be activated in the SAP system, which can happen if it was recently created or modified.
  Transport Issues: If the class was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing dependencies or incorrect configurations.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Class Name: Verify that the class name specified in the configuration is correct. You can do this by navigating to the relevant configuration settings in AIF and checking the executor class name.

  Check Transport Requests: If the class was transported, ensure that all related transport requests were successfully imported into the target system. Check for any missing dependencies or errors during the transport process.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, you may need to debug the AIF processing to identify where the error is occurring. This can provide more context on why the class is not being recognized as valid.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for AIF and the specific executor class you are working with. This can provide insights into the expected structure and requirements for the class.
