• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG122 - Error while checking request; no system context defined ?

  The SAP error message /STMC/CR_MSG122 indicates that there is an issue with the system context when trying to check a transport request. This error typically arises in the context of the Change and Transport System (CTS) in SAP, which is responsible for managing changes and transporting them between different SAP systems.
  Cause:
  The error message "Error while checking request; no system context defined" usually occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing System Context: The transport request does not have a defined system context, which means that the system does not know which target system the request is intended for.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the transport landscape, such as missing entries in the transport directory or incorrect settings in the Transport Management System (TMS).
  
  
  Transport Layer Issues: The transport layer may not be properly defined or may not be assigned to the transport request.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the transport operation.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transport Request: Verify that the transport request is correctly defined and that it has a valid system context. You can do this by checking the transport request in transaction SE09 or SE10.
  
  
  Review TMS Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction STMS and check the transport routes and layers.
  Ensure that the transport layer is correctly assigned to the transport request.
  Make sure that the target system is correctly defined in the TMS configuration.
  
  
  
  Define System Context:
  
  If the system context is missing, you may need to define it. This can be done in the TMS configuration by ensuring that the transport routes are correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user performing the transport has the necessary authorizations. You can check this in transaction SU53 after the error occurs to see if there are any authorization issues.
  
  
  Transport Directory: Check the transport directory to ensure that it is correctly set up and that there are no missing or corrupted files.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. You can search for notes in the SAP Support Portal.
  
  
  System Restart: In some cases, a restart of the SAP system or the transport management system may resolve transient issues.
