• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/IM_CUA000 - System is central CUA system; use transaction SCUA ?

  The error message /ISDFPS/IM_CUA000 System is central CUA system; use transaction SCUA in SAP indicates that you are trying to perform an action that is not allowed in a Central User Administration (CUA) system. The CUA is a feature in SAP that allows for centralized user management across multiple SAP systems.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to execute a transaction or function that is meant for a child system in a CUA setup, but you are currently logged into the central CUA system.
  The transaction you are trying to use is not applicable in the central system, as user management should be done through the CUA transaction.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you should:
  
  Use Transaction SCUA: Instead of using the transaction that triggered the error, you should use transaction SCUA to manage users in the central CUA system. This transaction is specifically designed for user administration in a CUA environment.
  Check User Management: If you need to manage users in the child systems, you will need to log into the respective child system and perform the necessary user management tasks there.
  Review CUA Configuration: Ensure that your CUA configuration is set up correctly. This includes checking the RFC connections between the central and child systems and ensuring that the necessary authorizations are in place.
  
  Related Information:
