  The SAP error message CTS_CONFIG_MSG_CL157 indicates that a specific TMS (Transport Management System) parameter is being set incorrectly or is not allowed to be set in the current context. The message typically states that the parameter can only be configured within the Transport Management System.
  Cause:
  This error usually occurs when:
  
  You are trying to change a TMS parameter directly in the system configuration (e.g., through transaction codes like RZ10 or RZ11) instead of using the TMS configuration tools.
  The parameter you are trying to set is restricted to be modified only through the TMS interface, which is designed to manage transport routes, layers, and other transport-related settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Access TMS Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code STMS to access the Transport Management System.

  Consult Basis Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the changes or if the issue persists, consult your SAP Basis team or administrator for assistance. They can provide guidance on the correct configuration and help troubleshoot any underlying issues.
