• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_TRANSP023 - System &1, which is outside the TMS, does not support transport queues ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_TRANSP023 indicates that the system you are trying to work with is outside the Transport Management System (TMS) and does not support transport queues. This typically occurs when you are attempting to perform a transport operation (like releasing a transport request) in a system that is not properly configured within the TMS landscape.
  Cause:
  
  System Not Configured in TMS: The system you are working with is not included in the TMS configuration. This can happen if the system was not added to the transport domain or if there are issues with the TMS configuration.
  Incorrect Transport Layer: The transport layer for the system may not be correctly set up, or the system may be in a different transport domain.
  Transport Directory Issues: There may be issues with the transport directory or the transport routes that prevent the system from recognizing the transport queues.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check TMS Configuration:
  
  Go to the TMS configuration transaction (STMS).
  Ensure that the system in question is included in the transport domain.
  Verify that the transport routes are correctly set up and that the system is assigned to the correct transport layer.
  
  
  
  Add System to TMS:
  
  If the system is not part of the TMS, you may need to add it. This typically involves:
  
  Running the TMS configuration wizard.
  Adding the system to the transport domain.
  Defining the transport routes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Transport Layer:
  
  Ensure that the transport layer for the system is correctly defined. You can check this in the TMS configuration under the transport layer settings.
  
  
  
  Transport Directory:
  
  Check the transport directory on the file system to ensure that it is accessible and correctly configured.
  Ensure that the transport directory paths are correctly set in the system profile.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to TMS and transport queues. SAP Notes can provide additional troubleshooting steps or patches.
  
  
  
  Restart TMS:
  
  Sometimes, restarting the TMS can resolve temporary issues. You can do this by going to the TMS configuration and selecting the option to restart.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  TMS Transactions: Familiarize yourself with TMS-related transactions such as STMS, STMS_IMPORT, and STMS_ADMIN.
  Transport Management System Documentation: Review SAP documentation on TMS for detailed configuration steps and best practices.
  SAP Community and Forums: Engage with the SAP community or forums for additional insights and experiences from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
