  The SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL081 indicates that there was a validation failure related to the transport management system (TMS) configuration, specifically concerning the shared memory lock. This error typically occurs in the context of the Change and Transport System (CTS) when the system is unable to access the necessary shared memory due to a lock being deleted or not being available.
  Causes:
  
  Shared Memory Lock Issues: The shared memory lock that is required for the transport process may have been deleted or is not accessible. This can happen if the transport directory is not properly configured or if there are issues with the transport management system.
  System Configuration Problems: Incorrect configuration of the transport routes or the transport domain can lead to this error.
