CHECK WRITEABILITY OF BUFFERS finished with return code 12

[Adamrog00]

Hi

When trying to release transports on our Dev system CD1 it takes foreverand a message appear on the bottom of the screen CHECK WRITEABILITY OF

BUFFERS finished with return code 12. Below is a print screen of log file:

1 ETP199X######################################

1 ETP182 CHECK WRITEABILITY OF BUFFERS

1 ETP101 transport order : "CD1K920992"

1 ETP102 system : "CD1"

1 ETP108 tp path : "tp"

1 ETP109 version and release : "372.04.40" "701"

1 ETP198

4 ETP201 Check target systems buffer: "
ctuxdev\sapmnt\trans\buffer\QAS"

3 ETP203 Buffer "
ctuxdev\sapmnt\trans\buffer\QAS" is writeable

2EETP000 The request's target QAS.400 is client dependant but the target

system cannot handle that.

Not sure what the issue is or what has changed as our transport system

has always been working fine.

Regards

Hi Roger,

I suppose that you are using "Extended Transport Control" in your TMS environmant.

The following link is about the details of "Extended Transport Control":

http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/1b/9dc2d6e59911d184810000e8a57770/content.htm

To activate "Extended Transport Control", you shoul set tp parameter CTC=1, the default value for it is 0(inactive). At the same time, you should set the value for parameter tp_version to at least 264. For details, please refer to the following link:

ctc

Default: 0

Value range: Boolean

ctc stands for Client Transport Control and represents a method of configuration for transport routes. This parameter lets you set specific transport routes using various clients in your system landscape. This method requires an extension of the import buffer. This new format is not understood by old tp programs. Therefore, this new function is switched off by default and the user must explicitly turn it on.

At the same time, the profile generator of the Transport Management System is also delivered. Along with the transport route configuration in the Transport Management System, the transport profile parameter ctc is automatically switched on from the TMS if it is required for your transport landscape.

The new format of the import buffer, activated by ctc=1, requires at least a tp from Release 4.5A. Older tp versions destroy this new import buffer.

When parameter ctc is set, tp requires that you set the value for parameter tp_version to at least 264. This prevents transport control programs with lower version numbers from working with this import buffer. As a result, you can only set the new parameter ctc if all the transport control programs that work with a specific SAP System have at least version 264.

Please check whether ctc=1 and tp_version=264(or higher) are set in transport profile TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL for all systems.

If not, please define them via T-cd:STMS->overview->systems->transport tool.

Hello Roger,

(I doubt you still have this problem, but I'd like to make the information visible to all community nonetheless

the solution for this error is set CTC = 1 on the transport profile of each system involved. Then save the configuration and reactivate it from STMS.

Best regards,

Tomas Black
