• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SATCM053 - Bit alignment (endian) could not be determined in system &1 ?

  The SAP error message SATCM053 indicates that there is an issue with the bit alignment (endianness) in the system. This error typically arises when the system is unable to determine the byte order (endianness) of the data being processed. Endianness refers to the order in which bytes are arranged within larger data types (e.g., integers, floating-point numbers) in computer memory.
  
  Cause:
  
  System Configuration: The system may not be properly configured to recognize its own endianness.
  Data Transfer Issues: If data is being transferred between systems with different endianness (e.g., between a little-endian and a big-endian system), this error can occur.
  Incompatible Software Versions: Using incompatible versions of software or components that do not align with the expected endianness can lead to this error.
  Corrupted Data: If the data being processed is corrupted or not formatted correctly, it may lead to issues in determining the endianness.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Configuration: Ensure that the system is correctly configured to
