• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_PLG_MSG022 - Plugin &1 not needed: SAP Basis release &2 and patch level &3 high enough ?

  The SAP error message CTS_PLG_MSG022 indicates that a specific plugin is not needed because the SAP Basis release and patch level are sufficiently high.

  Ignore the Message: If the system is functioning correctly and you do not require the specific features of the plugin, you can safely ignore this message.
  Check Documentation: Review the documentation for the plugin to understand what features it provides and whether you need them. If your current system meets your needs, no action is required.
  Update System: If you are trying to install a plugin for a specific feature that you believe is missing, ensure that your system is fully updated and that you are aware of all the features available in your current version.
