• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL071 - Cluster assignment exists ?

  The SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL071 indicates that there is an issue with the cluster assignment in the Change and Transport System (CTS). This error typically arises when there is an inconsistency in the transport landscape configuration, particularly related to the assignment of transport routes or clusters.
  Cause:
  
  
  Cluster Assignment Exists: The error suggests that there is an existing cluster assignment that conflicts with the current configuration. This can happen if:
  
  There are multiple entries for the same cluster.
  The transport routes are not correctly defined or are overlapping.
  There are inconsistencies in the transport domain configuration.
  
  
  
  Transport Route Issues: If the transport routes are not properly set up or if there are changes that have not been correctly reflected in the system, this can lead to the error.
  
  
  Configuration Changes: Recent changes in the transport configuration that have not been properly executed or saved can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL071 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Transport Routes:
  
  Go to transaction STMS (Transport Management System).
  Navigate to the Transport Routes section and verify the configuration.
  Ensure that there are no duplicate or conflicting entries for the cluster assignment.
  
  
  
  Review Cluster Assignments:
  
  Check the cluster assignments in the system. You can do this by going to transaction SE06 (Change and Transport System Configuration).
  Look for any inconsistencies or duplicate entries in the cluster assignments.
  
  
  
  Adjust Configuration:
  
  If you find any inconsistencies, adjust the configuration accordingly. Remove any duplicate entries or correct any misconfigurations.
  
  
  
  Transport Domain Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the transport domain is correctly configured. You can check this in transaction STMS under the Domain Configuration section.
  
  
  
  Transport Directory:
  
  Check the transport directory for any issues. Sometimes, file system issues can also lead to transport problems.
  
  
  
  Restart Transport Management System:
  
  After making the necessary changes, restart the Transport Management System to ensure that all changes are applied.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  If the issue persists, consult relevant SAP Notes or documentation for additional troubleshooting steps or patches that may address the issue.
