  The placeholder &1 usually contains an exception number or error code that provides more detail about the failure.

  Solution
  
  
  Check the Exception Number &1:
  
  Look up the exact exception number or error code in the SAP system or logs to get more specific information.

  SSL/TLS and Certificates:
