  The SAP error message BDDISTMODEL012 indicates that there is no logical system assigned to the client you are trying to work with. This typically occurs in the context of distributed systems or when working with SAP's Business Data Distribution (BDD) framework.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The client you are accessing does not have a logical system defined in the system settings.
  The logical system is not properly configured or assigned in the SAP system.
  The system is in a display-only mode, which means that changes cannot be made to the configuration.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Logical System Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction code SCC4 (Client Administration).
  Check the client settings to see if a logical system is assigned. If not, you will need to assign one.
  
  
  
  Assign Logical System:
  
  If a logical system is not assigned, you can create one using transaction code BD54 (Maintain Logical Systems).
  After creating a logical system, go back to SCC4 and assign the logical system to the client.
  
  
  
  Transport Configuration:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that the logical system is transported to the quality and production environments as needed.
  
  
  
  Check System Settings:
