"TP_CANNOT_CONNECT_SYSTEM" Error during SPAM Update

[Former Member]

We have just installed our sandbox. R/3 4.7 x110, SQL2005 on W2003. The first process we ran in the SPAM Update and got the following message.

"The Support Package import was interrupted because an error occurred in step CHECK_REQUIREMENTS. The Support Package Manager cannot remove this error on its own. After you have corrected the problem, you can continue import by choosing Support Package -> Import queue in the initial Support Package Manager Screen. The following entries will help you analyze the problem:

Error in step: CHECK_REQUIREMENTS

Cause of error: TP_CANNOT_CONNECT_SYSTEM

Return code: 0212

Error message: could not access file as supposed (see SLOG for more details)

I know the solution should be like

1) setup the tpparam in \usr\sap\trans\bin

2) upgrade tp.exe and R3trans to the latest version.

But...actually I don't know the detail...

what should i setup in tpparam?

and ....where I can download tp.exe and R3trans for x64?

can anyone tell me a short direction or description?

We had issue with SPAM update and used to get this error. SPAM update used to run for long and we get error "TP_CANNOT_CONNECT_SYSTEM". After running the statistics for table D010INC, SPAM update was successful.

Dear Expert:

I downloaded the tp_277-20001176.SAR for update tp.exe .

Buit I tried to use SAPCAR -xvf to decompress the SAR file.

it came out error like below:

C:\TP>SAPCAR -xvf tp_277-20001176.SAR

processing archive tp_277-20001176.SAR...

format error in header

Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to solve it?

use binary format if you are using FTP

You have to decompress the files with a newer sapcar release. You can download it on sap Marketplace under Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group - SAP Technology Components.

Hi,

can you look at this documents for tpparam parameters

[http://bbs.cenet.org.cn/UploadImages/200581112435749207.pdf]

for upgrade tp.exe and R3trans check with kernel upgrade.
