• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL128 - TMS parameter &1 is not needed; system &2 is of type 'ABAP' ?

  The SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL128 indicates that there is a configuration issue related to the Transport Management System (TMS) in your SAP environment. Specifically, the message states that a certain TMS parameter is not needed because the system in question is of type 'ABAP'.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises when there is a misconfiguration in the TMS settings. The TMS parameters that are being referenced may be set for a system that does not require them, particularly in an ABAP-only system. This can happen if:
  
  Incorrect TMS Configuration: The TMS parameters have been incorrectly defined for an ABAP system, which does not require certain parameters that are typically needed for Java or dual-stack systems.
  Transport Routes: The transport routes may have been set up incorrectly, leading to unnecessary parameters being assigned to an ABAP system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check TMS Configuration:
  
  Go to the TMS configuration transaction by entering STMS in the command field.
  Navigate to the "Overview" and then "Systems" to check the configuration of the system in question.
  Ensure that the system type is correctly set to 'ABAP' and that no unnecessary parameters are assigned.
  
  
  
  Adjust TMS Parameters:
  
  If you find any parameters that are not needed for an ABAP system, you can remove or adjust them.
  You may need to consult the TMS documentation or your SAP Basis team to understand which parameters are necessary for your specific setup.
  
  
  
  Transport Routes:
  
  Review the transport routes to ensure they are correctly configured for an ABAP system.
  Make sure that the transport layer and routes do not include parameters that are only applicable to Java or dual-stack systems.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure TMS:
  
  If necessary, you can reconfigure the TMS settings by using the TMS configuration tool (STMS -> "Configuration").
  Follow the prompts to ensure that the configuration aligns with the requirements of an ABAP system.
  
  
  
  Check for Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to TMS configuration for ABAP systems. You can search for relevant notes in the SAP Support Portal.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Basis Documentation: Review the SAP Basis documentation for detailed information on TMS configuration and management.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the configuration, consider reaching out to SAP Support for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL128 error and ensure that your TMS configuration is appropriate for your ABAP system.
