• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 53381 - No target system could be found ?

  The SAP error message "53381 No target system could be found" typically occurs in scenarios where a system is trying to connect to a target system (like during a transport request, RFC connection, or when executing a program that requires a connection to another SAP system) but cannot find the specified target system. Here are some common causes, solutions, and related information for this error:
  Causes:
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The target system may not be correctly configured in the SAP system. This could be due to missing entries in the TMS (Transport Management System) configuration or incorrect RFC destination settings.
  
  
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity issues preventing the source system from reaching the target system.
  
  
  System Not Registered: The target system may not be registered in the SAP landscape or may not be part of the same transport domain.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the action may not have the necessary authorizations to access the target system.
  
  
  Inactive System: The target system may be down or inactive, which would prevent any connections.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check TMS Configuration:

  User Authorizations:
