  The user or the workflow step does not have any messages assigned or created yet.
  The message retrieval or filtering criteria do not match any existing messages.

  2. Solution
  To resolve the WP3ROLES057 No messages exist error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check if messages exist: Verify if there are any workflow messages or role messages actually created for the user or the workflow step.
  
  Use transaction SBWP (Business Workplace) to check the inbox for messages.
  Use transaction SWI1 (Workflow Log) to check if the workflow has generated any messages.
  
  
  
  Verify workflow status: Ensure that the workflow has been triggered and is in a status where messages should be generated.
  
  
  Check user roles and authorizations: Make sure the user has the necessary roles and authorizations to view the messages.
  
  
  Review message container: If you are developing or customizing workflows, check the message container and ensure messages are being passed correctly.
  
  
  Check filters and selection criteria: If you are using any filters or selection criteria to display messages, verify that they are correct and not excluding all messages.
  
  
  Re-trigger or test the workflow: If no messages exist, try to re-trigger the workflow or the process that generates the messages.
