  The SAP error message /SMB/Q2P116 typically occurs during the transport of objects between different systems in the SAP landscape. This error indicates that there is an issue with copying the object list from one transport request to another.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  Transport Request Issues: The source transport request (&1) may be incomplete, locked, or not properly released.
  Authorization Problems: The user attempting to perform the transport may not have the necessary authorizations to access the transport requests.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the transport management system (TMS) that prevent the copying of objects.
  Object Locking: The objects being transported may be locked by another process or user, preventing access.
  Transport Directory Issues: Problems with the transport directory or file system can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transport Request Status:
  
  Ensure that the source transport request (&1) is released and not in a locked state.
  Use transaction SE09 or SE10 to check the status of the transport requests.

  Review Transport Management Configuration:

  Use transaction STMS to access the TMS configuration and verify settings.
  
  
  
  Check for Object Locks:
