• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWF_XI_ADM005 - Starting and stopping BPE is only allowed in IS client & ?

  The SAP error message SWF_XI_ADM005 indicates that starting and stopping the Business Process Engine (BPE) is restricted to a specific client, typically the Integration Server (IS) client. This error usually occurs when you attempt to perform operations related to the BPE in a client that is not designated for such actions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the operation you are trying to perform (starting or stopping the BPE) is only permitted in the Integration Server client (usually client 000 or a specific client designated for integration tasks). If you are logged into a different client, the system will prevent you from executing these actions to maintain the integrity and stability of the BPE.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Log into the Correct Client: Ensure that you are logged into the Integration Server client (often client 000 or the designated IS client). You can check your current client in the SAP GUI at the top right corner of the screen.
  
  
  Perform the Action: Once you are in the correct client, try to start or stop the BPE again using the appropriate transaction code or menu path.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that your user account has the necessary authorizations to start or stop the BPE in the Integration Server client. You may need to contact your SAP Basis or security team if you do not have the required permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure which client is the Integration Server client, consult your system documentation or speak with your SAP Basis administrator.
