  The SAP error message SWF_EXP_001036 indicates that there is an issue with the workflow definition where a specified component (denoted as '&2') is not recognized as part of the data object (denoted as '&1'). This typically occurs in the context of workflow development or execution when the workflow is trying to access a component that does not exist in the specified data object.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Data Object Definition: The data object may not have been defined correctly, or the component you are trying to access does not exist in the data structure.

  Correct Typographical Errors: Look for any typos in the component name or data object name in the workflow definition.
  Update Workflow: If the data structure has changed, you may need to update the workflow to reflect these changes. This may involve re-mapping the components in the workflow.
  Test the Workflow: After making the necessary corrections, test the workflow to ensure that it executes without errors.
