  The SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL119 indicates that there is an issue with the transport of a plug-in to a system. This error typically arises in the context of the Change and Transport System (CTS) when trying to distribute a plug-in to a system that is not properly configured or selected.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect System Selection: The error usually occurs when the system you are trying to distribute the plug-in to is not selected or is not a valid target for the plug-in distribution.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the CTS settings that prevent the system from being recognized as a valid target for the plug-in.
  Transport Route Issues: The transport route may not be correctly set up, or the target system may not be included in the transport route.
  System Type: The system you are trying to distribute the plug-in to may not be of the correct type (e.g., it may not be a valid application server).
  
  Solution:
  
  Select the Correct System: Ensure that you have selected the correct target system for the plug-in distribution. You can do this in the CTS transaction (e.g., transaction SE09 or SE10).
  Check System Configuration: Verify the configuration of the target system in the SAP Landscape Management (SLM) or in the Transport Management System (TMS). Ensure that the system is properly defined and configured.
  Review Transport Routes: Check the transport routes in TMS to ensure that the target system is included in the route and that the route is correctly configured.
  System Type Verification: Make sure that the target system is of the correct type and is capable of receiving the plug-in. For example, ensure that it is an application server and not a database or other type of system.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the specific plug-in you are trying to distribute, as there may be additional prerequisites or steps required for successful distribution.
