• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SF652 - Work set & does not exist ?

  The SAP error message SF652, which states "Work set & does not exist," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Enterprise Portal or when using SAP's Business Workplace. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a specific work set that is referenced in the application or configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Work Set: The work set you are trying to access has not been created or has been deleted.
  Incorrect Configuration: The work set might be incorrectly configured in the system, leading to a mismatch between the expected and actual work set identifiers.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the work set.
  Transport Issues: If the work set was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or completely.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Work Set Existence:
  
  Check if the work set exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant area in the SAP GUI or the SAP Portal where work sets are managed.
  Use transaction codes like PFCG (Role Maintenance) to check if the work set is assigned to the appropriate roles.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:

  User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the work set. This can be done by checking the user's roles and authorizations in the system.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
