  The SAP error message SFW221, which states "Call end of BAdI SFW_SWITCH_CHANGED (& &, & sec.)", typically occurs in the context of SAP's Switch Framework. This error is related to the Business Add-In (BAdI) that is triggered when a switch is changed in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Switch Framework: The error is often caused by issues in the Switch Framework, which is used to manage the activation and deactivation of business functions in SAP.
  BAdI Implementation: The BAdI SFW_SWITCH_CHANGED is called when a switch is activated or deactivated. If there is an issue in the implementation of this BAdI, such as an error in the code or a timeout, it can lead to this error message.
  Performance Issues: If the BAdI implementation takes too long to execute, it may exceed the allowed execution time, resulting in a timeout and the error message being triggered.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check BAdI Implementation: Review the implementation of the BAdI SFW_SWITCH_CHANGED. Ensure that the code is optimized and does not contain any long-running operations that could lead to timeouts.
  Performance Optimization: If the BAdI implementation is complex, consider optimizing the logic to reduce execution time. This may involve simplifying the code, reducing database calls, or using more efficient algorithms.
  Increase Timeout Settings: If necessary, you can consider increasing the timeout settings for the BAdI execution. This can be done in the SAP system settings, but it should be approached with caution as it may mask underlying performance issues.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no locks or deadlocks in the system that could be causing delays in the execution of the BAdI.
  Debugging: Use debugging tools to trace the execution of the BAdI and identify where the delay or error is occurring.
