• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL135 - System with name/ID & already exists ?

  The SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL135 indicates that there is an attempt to create or configure a system in the Change and Transport System (CTS) that already exists in the system landscape. This typically occurs when you are trying to register a system that has already been registered, or when there is a duplicate entry in the configuration.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate System Registration: The system you are trying to register already exists in the CTS configuration.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Existing Systems:
