  Check Network Connectivity:
  
  Ensure that the SAP system can reach the Solution Manager system over the network.
  You can use tools like ping or telnet to check connectivity to the Solution Manager's hostname and port.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:

  Check the roles and profiles assigned to the user.
