Scheduled transports (automatic transports) missing transports

[Former Member]

Hi

We have scheduled/automatic transports set up, i.e. SAP standard job imports all released transports from DEV into QA on the hour and the half hour. This normally works fine...

However, our developers have noticed a few transports have not been applied to QA. On further investigation it looks as if any transports released EXACTLY on the hour, or half hour, are NOT imported into QA. The job seems to miss these!

Anyone come across this / know how to fix? It's not easy to check if any transports have been missed either, any easy way of doing this would also be beneficial in case we can't fix this, we need to know what has been missed...

We're on tp patch 165 (700), last few fixes documented in latest version (214) don't say anything about this.

Cheers

Hai,

Seems to be a bit weird problem.

You can try to develop a OS level script and put it in crontab and schedule as per your needs.

Thanks both.

Yoganand, yes we could perhaps use a script instead to schedule transports or write a script to look for missed transports and import them... will look into this, but shouldn't have to - SAP standard functionality should work!

Suman, thanks, but this isn't the case - half an hour / an hour later, still not imported - in fact, they never appear in the buffer on these odd occasions. Developer releases it exactly on the hour/half hour and it looks like a successful release to them. However, it never appears in the buffer/is never imported. It's as if it tries to add to the buffer but because the scheduled transport is taking place, cannot... logs show that it WAS added to the buffer - but checked and nothing there.

Problem never occurred again... that we know of anyway...!

Hi,

When automatic job starts it sets a stop mark at the end of the import queue, hence anything released from the development system on or after the job starts will not be imported in this run of the job. However those transport will remain in the import queue with RC=INIT, hence these should be imported in the next run of the job.

So if you check after an hour (or half an hour), as per the job period, those should be imported in QA system.

Thanks,

Suman.
