• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PF079 - All versions of profile & deleted ?

  The SAP error message PF079 ("All versions of profile & deleted") typically occurs when a user attempts to access or utilize a profile that has been deleted from the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when dealing with user profiles, authorization profiles, or other configuration profiles within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Profile Deletion: The most straightforward cause is that the profile in question has been deleted from the system. This could be due to administrative actions or system cleanup processes.
  Incorrect Profile Name: The profile name being referenced may be incorrect or misspelled, leading the system to believe that it does not exist.
  Transport Issues: If profiles are transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), there may be issues with the transport that lead to profiles being missing in the target system.

  Solution:
  
  Check Profile Existence: Verify if the profile still exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., PFCG for role management) and checking the list of profiles.
