• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DS468 - You cannot start Transaction SART directly ?

  The SAP error message DS468, which states "You cannot start Transaction SART directly," typically occurs when a user attempts to execute the transaction SART (which is used for the execution of the SAP Archive Administration) directly from the command field or a shortcut, rather than through the appropriate navigation path.
