  The SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL098 typically indicates that a system referenced in the Change and Transport System (CTS) configuration no longer exists in the landscape. This can happen for various reasons, such as system deletions, renaming, or misconfigurations in the transport directory.
  Cause:
  
  System Deletion: The system was deleted from the SAP landscape but still exists in the CTS configuration.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system might have been incorrectly configured or renamed, leading to a mismatch in the CTS settings.
  Transport Directory Issues: The transport directory may not be correctly set up, or the system might not be included in the transport routes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL098 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check System Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SCC4 to verify the status of the systems in your landscape. Ensure that the system in question is listed and active.
  
  
  
  Update CTS Configuration:
  
  Use transaction STMS to access the Transport Management System.

  Adjust Transport Directory:
  
  Check the transport directory settings in transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) and ensure that the transport routes are correctly defined.

  Delete or Correct Entries:
  
  If the system is no longer needed, you can delete its entries from the CTS configuration. This can be done in transaction SE06 (Change and Transport System) under the "Transport Routes" section.
