  SAP Error Message:
  
  W7028 - A faulty profile was transferred
  
  Cause:
  The warning message W7028 occurs when a user profile that is being transferred or imported into the SAP system contains inconsistencies or errors. This typically happens during the transport or import of user master records or profiles, where the profile data does not conform to the expected format or contains invalid entries.
  Common causes include:  
  
  Corrupted or incomplete user profile data in the transport request.  
  Incompatibility between the source and target system profiles (e.g., different SAP versions or patch levels).  
  Manual changes or inconsistencies in the user master records or profiles.  
  Missing or invalid authorization objects or fields in the profile.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Transport Request:  
  
  Verify the transport request containing the user profile for completeness and correctness.  
  Re-export the user profile if necessary from the source system.
  
  
  
  Validate User Profiles:  
  
  Use transaction SU01 or PFCG to check the user profiles and authorizations for inconsistencies.  
  Run report RSUSR003 or RSUSR200 to analyze user master records and profiles.
  
  
  
  Recreate or Repair Profiles:  
  
  If the profile is corrupted, consider deleting and recreating the user profile or authorization profile.  
  Regenerate the profile using transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  
  
  
  Check System Compatibility:  
  
  Ensure that the source and target systems are compatible in terms of SAP kernel and support package levels.  
  If there are differences, adjust the profiles accordingly.
  
  
  
  Import Logs and Notes:  
  
  Review the import logs for detailed error messages.  
  Check SAP Notes related to user profile transports and the W7028 message for any known issues or patches.
