  The SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA473 Lifecycle Client &1 is not yet usable typically indicates that a specific lifecycle client (in this case, represented by &1) is not in a state that allows it to be used for transport or other operations. This can occur in the context of SAP Solution Manager or other SAP systems that utilize lifecycle management.
