• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP188 - Scenarios delivered by SAP cannot be transported ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WXP188 - Scenarios delivered by SAP cannot be transported
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs when you attempt to transport (move) SAP standard scenarios or content that are delivered by SAP itself. SAP standard scenarios are typically protected and cannot be changed or transported to other systems because they are part of the SAP standard delivery. Transporting these objects is restricted to avoid inconsistencies or overwriting standard SAP content.
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP delivers certain predefined scenarios (e.g., in SAP Process Integration/Process Orchestration, SAP Workflow, or SAP Fiori apps) as standard content.
  These scenarios are locked for transport to ensure system integrity.
  If you try to include these standard scenarios in a transport request, the system issues the WXP188 warning/error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Do not include SAP-delivered standard scenarios in your transport requests.
  
  Instead, create copies or extensions of these scenarios if you need to customize or transport them.
  
  
  Create your own custom scenarios or variants based on the standard ones and transport those.
  
  
  If you need to transport changes, ensure that you are only transporting your custom developments or configurations, not the SAP-delivered standard content.
  
  
  Check the transport request contents and remove any SAP-delivered standard scenarios before releasing the transport.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  This message is common in SAP Process Integration (PI), SAP Process Orchestration (PO), SAP Workflow, and SAP Fiori content transport.
  SAP standard content is usually delivered in transport requests with special namespaces or package prefixes (e.g., /SAP/).
  For customizing or extending SAP standard scenarios, SAP recommends using enhancement or extension techniques rather than modifying the standard content directly.
  Refer to SAP Notes and documentation related to the specific SAP component you are working with for best practices on extending standard scenarios.
  
  
  Summary:
