  The SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL084 indicates a validation failure due to a communication issue, typically related to the Change and Transport System (CTS) configuration. This error can occur in various scenarios, such as during transport requests, when trying to access transport routes, or when performing system landscape configuration.
  Causes:
  
  Network Issues: There may be network connectivity problems between the SAP systems involved in the transport process.

  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the transport operations.
  System Configuration: The source or target system may not be properly configured in the Transport Management System (TMS).
  Transport Directory Issues: Problems with the transport directory (e.g., missing files, incorrect paths) can lead to communication failures.
