  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTC_SC057 - Could not find logical system name ?

    The SAP error message SCTC_SC057, which states "Could not find logical system name," typically occurs in the context of SAP system configuration, particularly when dealing with system landscapes, transport management, or when setting up connections between different SAP systems.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Logical System Configuration: The logical system name that the system is trying to reference is not defined in the SAP system.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The logical system name may be incorrectly configured or misspelled in the relevant settings.
    3. Transport Directory Issues: If you are working with transport requests, the transport directory may not be correctly set up or may not contain the necessary logical system definitions.
    4. Client-Specific Settings: The logical system may not be assigned to the client you are working in.

    Solution:

    1. Define Logical System:

      • Go to transaction code SCC4 to check the client settings.
      • Ensure that the logical system is defined in the system. If it is not, you can create it using transaction SBD1 (for creating a logical system).
      • Make sure that the logical system name follows the naming conventions and is unique.
    2. Assign Logical System to Client:

      • Use transaction SCC4 to assign the logical system to the appropriate client.
      • Ensure that the logical system is correctly assigned to the client you are working in.
    3. Check Transport Configuration:

      • Use transaction STMS to check the transport domain configuration.
      • Ensure that the logical system is included in the transport domain and that the transport routes are correctly set up.
    4. Verify RFC Connections:

      • If the error occurs during an RFC call, check the RFC destination settings using transaction SM59.
      • Ensure that the logical system is correctly referenced in the RFC destination configuration.
    5. Check for Typographical Errors:

      • Double-check for any typographical errors in the logical system name in your configuration settings.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SCC4: Client Administration
      • SBD1: Create Logical System
      • STMS: Transport Management System
      • SM59: RFC Destinations
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on logical systems and transport management.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to logical systems and transport configurations.
