Hi Chandra,

The error message is there in your log.

-

---

"2EETW104 "R3TRFUGRJ1I7 " was repaired in this system and must not be imported.

R3trans.exe finished (0008).

Details of the error situation can also be found in the import logs

Funciton group J1I7 was repaired in the system. So it cannot import it. Ask your developer whether they can reset repair flag. I think this object was not handled in SPDD/SPAU when it prompted.

Try to read log.....

Thanks,

Kiran.

Nice catch kiran,

release all unreleased transports. this is the first step that should be done BEFORE applying support packs.

Hi Kiran

Thank You very much,

I have reset the repaired J1I7 object in the SE03, then i have successfully completed the Support pack..

Hi Chandra,

While you are importing support packs it will write some log file sin /usr/sap/trans/log and also /usr/sap/trans/tmp. Verify each log with patience definately it will show the error message. with out providing error information one cannot fix in the air.

Thanks,

Hi,

Try to Start the spam from OS Level.

Assuming you tp.exe is already running, So first step is to kill the tp.exe(Kill the process)

Then try start OS Level command under <sid>adm,

tp r3i (SP name.sap) tag=spam.

This will finish your import.

Hi Rajan,

i am getting the following error while killing the tp.exe, please let me know that is it righ command

F:\usr\sap\CHE\DVEBMGS00\exe>tp r3i SAPKH60302.SAP tag=spam

This is tp version 372.04.36 (release 700, unicode enabled)

E-TPSETTINGS could not be opened.

EXIT

> F:\usr\sap\CHE\DVEBMGS00\exe>tp r3i SAPKH60302.SAP tag=spam

Do you really know what you are doing? Those "r3i" commands are usually only suggested by the support. I did never need them (in the last 13+ years).

"tp" requires a profile name, you have to add "profile=<path-to-profile>\<transport profile>".

the TP R3I command you are using WILL NOT fix your issue.

your import failed and re-running it will not magically fix this.

go into SPAM logs, expand them to find red entries, then read the log of your import. you will find what failed, then search SAP notes.

[Former Member]

Eric is right...Before doing anythng first check the logs and try to find the cause of the failure. than you can and will get the right solution for your error.

Hi Eric,

I have found this error "ERROR: stopping on error 8 during MAIN IMPORT" in SLOG

i have found this error in supportpack.sid file

4 ETW000 End of Transport (0008).

4 ETW000 date&time: 22.12.2008 - 20:33:02

1 ETP111 exit code : "8"

1 ETP199 ######################################"

Let me know that what may be the problem

[former_member204746]

Chandra, do these exact steps:

login into client 000

go into SPAM

GOTO -> Import logs -> Queue

double-click on RED entry until you actually an error message in the log.

this is the info you are looking for. search SAP notes with info found there.

[markus_doehr2]

This is just the end of the log.

Use the transaction SPAM - Goto - Import Logs - Queue

and drill up to the error.

[former_member204746]

do what I told you ... again...

login into client 000

go into SPAM

GOTO -> Import logs -> Queue

double-click on RED entry.

THIS WILL SHOW YOU A BIG LOG OF ERRORS.

dig into this until you actually find an error message in the log.

[former_member204746]

from within SPAM, check support pack queue logs.

Hi Eric,

Here also showing error is " ERROR: stopping on error 8 during MAIN IMPORT ", what could be the reason

[Former Member]

Try restarting the activity from SPAM. It normally goes thru.

[Former Member]

Hi Anand,

i have restarted 4-5 times but error message is same., tell me that what could be the reason

[Former Member]

Check out the memory usage at the time of error.

We did face an issue where the memory usage was very high. Increase the page file and it goes thru.

Also check the paramaters

abap/heap_area_dia,abap/heap_area_nondia,abap/heap_area_total.

Are they according to what the SAP recommendations are.

tp commands at the OS level should be done only after instructions from SAP.
