Hello Ganesh,

Transport errors come primarily due to two reasons

1. Either there is some problem in the TMS

2 Either there is problem in the transport itself.

let us focus on them one by one.

Problem in TMS:

It can be for number of reasons some of which have been mentioned by Deb like insufficient authorizations for <sid>adm and two TP processes runing simultanoeuly. Also errors can come if TMSADM has any issues or there are any issues with RFC destinations for TMS. Also issues like import not happening can come because job RDDIMPDP has not run though it can be really termed as an error because it will only lead to imports getting halted but not any damaging errors. Then tere are TP errors of various types.

Problem with transport itself:

This includes dependencies issues. For example you have moved a transport reauest having table entries without moving the table in first place then it will give error with return code 008. Similarily you move a report but dont move the includes in it you wil get an error. Error codes are basically of three types:

004: Warning (can be by and large ignored as mentioned by Barry)

008: Due to syntax errors. Examples of these have been given above.

0012: Fatal errors:system errors; Have got nothing to do with transport request itself. Need to be analyzed on case to case basis.

I would also recommend you to go to the link mentioned by Juan.

Please award points for useful answers.

Hi Ganesh

You may find the follwoing errors

1. Permission denied to transport directory. You need to give permissions to <SID>ADM.

2. Some screen in the program is not generated. It will give you a warning while transport. You can detect the error in System log.

3. If two Transports are run samultaneously. There is only 1 Tp program .

Please award points if the solution is useful.

The common transports errors are normally denoted by return codes.

We work on the premise that 4 or under is okay, but over 4 is bad.
