  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_MGW023 ICF-Service '&1' not disabled typically occurs in the context of SAP Gateway services. This error indicates that a specific ICF (Internet Communication Framework) service is not disabled, which may be necessary for certain operations, such as when you are trying to deactivate or manage services in the SAP Gateway.
  Cause:
  
  Service Activation: The ICF service referenced in the error message is still active. This can happen if the service was not properly deactivated or if there are dependencies that require it to remain active.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP Gateway or ICF settings that prevent the service from being disabled.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to disable the service may not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Service Status:
  
  Go to transaction code /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
  Check the status of the service in question. If it is active, you may need to deactivate it.
  
  
  
  Deactivate the Service:

  Check Authorizations:

  Restart ICF Services:
  
  In some cases, restarting the ICF services or the SAP Gateway can resolve issues related to service activation.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other services or applications that depend on the service you are trying to disable. If there are dependencies, you may need to address those first.
