  2. Solution
  To resolve the WFF_FORM_SERVER800 error, consider the following steps:
  a) Check the Form Server Status
  
  Verify that the SAP Interactive Forms by Adobe server (form server) is up and running.
  Use transaction SFP (Form Builder) or SICF to check the service status.
  Restart the form server if necessary.
  
  b) Verify Configuration

  Ensure the form server service (usually /sap/bc/adt/forms) is active and properly configured.
  Confirm that the form templates are correctly assigned and accessible.
  
  c) Check Network and Communication
  
  Ensure there are no network issues between the SAP backend and the form server.
  Check for firewall or proxy settings that might block communication.
  
  d) Review Authorizations
  
  Verify that the user executing the workflow has the necessary authorizations to access and execute forms.
  Check roles and authorizations related to form processing.
  
  e) Analyze Logs and Traces
