• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL153 - TMS parameter &1 cannot be set; system &2 must be assigned to a cluster ?

  The SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL153 indicates an issue with the Transport Management System (TMS) configuration, specifically related to the assignment of a system to a transport cluster. This error typically arises when a system is not properly configured to be part of a transport cluster, which is necessary for managing transports between systems in a landscape.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A system is trying to be assigned to a transport domain but is not configured as part of a transport cluster.
  The TMS parameters are incorrectly set, or the system is not recognized as part of the cluster.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check TMS Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction STMS.
  Select the Overview and then Systems.
  Ensure that the system in question is correctly configured and assigned to a transport domain.
  
  
  
  Assign System to Cluster:
  
  If the system is not part of a cluster, you need to assign it to one. This can be done in the TMS configuration.
  Use transaction STMS and navigate to Transport Routes.
  Ensure that the system is included in the correct transport route and cluster.
  
  
  
  Check TMS Parameters:
  
  Review the TMS parameters in transaction RZ10 or RZ11 to ensure they are set correctly.
  Look for parameters related to transport configuration and clusters.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure TMS:
  
  If necessary, you may need to reconfigure the TMS settings. This can involve removing the system from the transport domain and re-adding it.
  Use transaction STMS to perform the reconfiguration.
  
  
  
  Check for System Consistency:
  
  Ensure that all systems in the transport domain are consistent and properly configured. Any inconsistencies can lead to transport issues.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to this error.
