• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/IMPL_TRANSPORT017 - Assigned request &1 is not a Workbench request ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/IMPL_TRANSPORT017 Assigned request &1 is not a Workbench request typically occurs during the transport of objects in the SAP system. This error indicates that the transport request you are trying to use is not a Workbench request, which is required for certain types of changes, particularly those related to development objects.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Request Type: The transport request you are trying to use is likely a Customizing request (also known as a Configuration request) instead of a Workbench request. Workbench requests are used for development objects, while Customizing requests are used for configuration settings.
  Transport Request Assignment: The object you are trying to transport may not be assigned to a Workbench request, or it may have been mistakenly assigned to a Customizing request.
  System Configuration: There may be issues with the system configuration or the way transport requests are managed in your SAP landscape.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Request Type: Verify the type of transport request you are using. You can do this by going to the Transport Organizer (transaction code SE09 or SE10) and checking the details of the request.
  
  If it is a Customizing request, you will need to create a new Workbench request or use an existing one that is appropriate for the objects you are trying to transport.
  
  
  
  Reassign Objects: If the objects you are trying to transport are incorrectly assigned to a Customizing request, you may need to reassign them to a Workbench request. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the Transport Organizer (SE09/SE10).
  Selecting the Customizing request and using the option to move the objects to a Workbench request.
  
  
  
  Create a New Workbench Request: If necessary, create a new Workbench request and ensure that all relevant objects are included in this request before attempting to transport them again.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for specific guidelines on managing transport requests in your environment.
