• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_FLEX_TRANSPORT052 - Workflow referencing teams are not transportable [def &1, type &2] ?

  The SAP error message SWF_FLEX_TRANSPORT052 indicates that a workflow referencing teams is not transportable. This typically occurs when you are trying to transport a workflow definition that includes team assignments, which are not supported for transport in the standard SAP transport system.
  
  Cause:
  The error arises because the workflow definition you are trying to transport includes references to teams (e.g., organizational units or user groups) that are not transportable. In SAP, certain objects, such as teams, are often defined in a way that they are specific to a particular system or client and cannot be moved between systems using the standard transport mechanism.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Remove Team References: If possible, modify the workflow definition to remove references to teams. Instead, you can use individual users or roles that can be transported.
  
  
  Manual Recreation: If the workflow must reference teams, you may need to manually recreate the team
