• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TK793 - Target system of relocations cannot be a dummy system ?

  The SAP error message TK793, which states "Target system of relocations cannot be a dummy system," typically occurs in the context of transport management within SAP systems. This error indicates that the system you are trying to transport objects to is not a valid target system, often because it is classified as a "dummy system."
  Cause:
  
  Dummy System Configuration: The target system is configured as a dummy system in the Transport Management System (TMS). Dummy systems are typically used for testing or as placeholders and are not intended to receive transports.
  Transport Route Issues: The transport route may not be correctly defined, or the target system may not be included in the transport route.
  Transport Layer Issues: The transport layer associated with the transport request may not be correctly set up to include the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check System Configuration:
  
  Go to the Transport Management System (TMS) configuration and verify the settings for the target system. Ensure that it is not marked as a dummy system.
  If it is a dummy system and you intend to use it for transports, you will need to change its configuration.
  
  
  
  Adjust Transport Routes:
  
  Ensure that the transport route is correctly defined and that the target system is included in the route. You can do this by accessing the TMS configuration and reviewing the transport routes.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Layer:
  
  Check the transport layer associated with the transport request. Make sure that the target system is part of the transport layer and that it is correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Use a Valid Target System:
  
  If the target system is indeed a dummy system and you cannot change its status, consider using a different, valid target system for your transport.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to transport management and the specific error message for additional guidance.
