• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_RUN_SERVICES002 - Daemon '&1' is not whitelisted ?

  The SAP error message SWF_RUN_SERVICES002 indicates that a specific daemon (background service) is not whitelisted in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Workflow or when using the SAP Business Workflow engine, where certain services or daemons need to be explicitly allowed to run for security and operational reasons.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  A daemon that is trying to execute is not included in the list of approved or "whitelisted" daemons.
  This can happen due to configuration changes, updates, or if a new daemon is introduced that hasn't been added to the whitelist.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to add the specific daemon to the whitelist. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Identify the Daemon: Check the error message for the name of the daemon (represented as &1 in the error message). This is the daemon that needs to be whitelisted.
  
  
  Access the Configuration:
  
  Go to the SAP system where the error occurred.
  Use transaction code SWFVISU or SWF_RUN to access the workflow configuration.
  
  
  
  Modify the Whitelist:
  
  Navigate to the section where you can configure the whitelisted daemons.
  Add the identified daemon to the whitelist. This usually involves entering the daemon name in a specific configuration table or screen.
  
  
  
  Save Changes: After adding the daemon to the whitelist, save your changes.
  
  
  Restart the Workflow: Depending on your system's configuration, you may need to restart the workflow or the entire SAP system for the changes to take effect.
  
  
  Test: After making the changes, test the functionality that was previously causing the error to ensure that the issue is resolved.

  Support: If you are unsure about which daemons to whitelist or if the problem persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with your SAP Basis team.
