• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG171 - Creation of transport requests is not supported for systems of type &1 ?

  The SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG171 indicates that the creation of transport requests is not supported for systems of a specific type, which is represented by &1 in the message. This typically occurs in the context of the Change and Transport System (CTS) when you are trying to create a transport request in a system that is not configured to allow it.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  System Type: The system you are working in is not a development system (e.g., it could be a production or quality assurance system). Transport requests are generally created in development systems.
  Configuration Issues: The system might not be properly configured to allow transport requests. This could be due to settings in the Transport Management System (TMS).
  Transport Layer: The transport layer might not be set up correctly for the system type you are working in.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check System Type: Verify the type of the system you are working in. You can do this by checking the system properties in the SAP GUI. Ensure that you are in a development system if you intend to create transport requests.
  
  
  Review TMS Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction STMS and check the transport routes and layers.
  Ensure that the system is included in the transport domain and that it is configured correctly.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create transport requests in the system. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis team to verify your user roles.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the system type or configuration, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis administrator for guidance.
  
  
  Use the Correct System: If you are trying to create a transport request for changes made in a non-development system, you may need to transport the changes from the development system to the target system using the appropriate transport requests.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): This is the SAP component that manages the transport of changes between different SAP systems.
  System Types: Common system types in SAP include Development (DEV), Quality Assurance (QAS), and Production (PRD). Only development systems typically allow the creation of transport requests.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to transport requests and system configurations.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to reach out to SAP support or your internal SAP Basis team for further assistance.
