  Click on "Create" and enter the necessary details (e.g., target host, system number, client, user, password).
  Ensure that the connection type is set correctly (e.g., T for TCP/IP).
  
  
  If it exists but is not working, check the configuration:
  
  Test the connection using the "Connection Test" button.
  Ensure that the settings (like user credentials) are correct.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
