Issue on TMS Configuration

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I am facing one odd issue, unfortunelty not able to find solution for from last few hours.

TMS Configuration between Dev, Qua,Prd.

OS: Windows 2008 R2 X64

Shared trans dir=Dev trans

Steps: Dev: login to 000 client se06-->perform postinstallation actions

stms-->configured domain controller

perform connection test,tranddirectory, tp----> all good

steps:Qua:

changed DIR_TRANS=\\devhost\\sapmnt\trans

SAPTRANSHOST=devhost

entered dev host name and ip in quality host file.

entered quality hostname and ip in dev host file.

login 000 client se06-->perform postinstallation actions

stms--->include quality in domain controller

save.

Here am receiving error as Could not open file \\devhostname\\sapmnt\trans\bin\DOMAIN.CFG.

but when i tried above path from quality server am able to access it and able to change file also.

not able to find solution and not understanding my mistake also.

please help me to solve it. thanks in advance

Hi Venkat,

Is the trans directory on your dev system shared?

I would recommend you to first try to access the dev trans directory from your quality server at OS level. I am sure it will also not be working. Please let us know the results.

Hi Pankaj.

Am able to access \\dev-server\sapmnt\trans from Qua and Prd server.

Still problem exist.

Thanks,

Venkat

Hi Venkat,

Does it ask for the login credentials when you try to access the trans from Qua OS level?

Hi All,

It is has been resolved.

Solution worked:

Make sure SAP_<SID>GlobalAdmin group have full access to /sapmnt share

Go to DEV system if this is your domain controller, go to \<dev_server>\sapmnt

Go to Security and sharing, and allow SAP_<QA_SID>_GlobalAdmin and SAP_<Prd_SID>GlobalAdmin Full Access

Thanks,

Venkat

Dear Venkat,

Good to hear that its resolved now.

Would request you to kindly mark this thread as answered?

Dear Venkat,

What is the complete error mesage? Can you please attach a screenshot?

Please also check whether the users SAPSERVICE<SID> and <SID>ADM have permissions to access all the trans folders correctly for QUA? Please refer to following note for reference:
117395 - Authorization problems for file I/O on Windows NT

And please make sure that parameter DIR_TRANS and TRANSDIR in transport profile are pointing to the same directory.

Please try to check the transport directory setting as per following notes:
556734 - FAQ Transport: Setup and further information(point 2)
   62739 - Configuring a central transport host.
201199 - Cannot access file &

Dear Abhishek,

Thanks a lot for your time.

Present am not able to provide screen shot but error message is displaying when i access DIR_TRANS from Qua (AL11) as " Wrong order of calls <- CALL opendir(,,..)"

Please also check whether the users SAPSERVICE<SID> and <SID>ADM have permissions to access all the trans folders correctly for QUA?----> i have given user domain\<qua>adm , domain\SAPService<qua> full access permission for dev trans directory, still problem there.

parameter DIR_TRANS and TRANSDIR in transport profile are pointing to the same directory.----> how can i check transport profile?

i have gone through given notes already but unable to find solution.

Thanks,

Venkat

Dear Venkat,

Are you accessing the DIR_TRANS in AL11 from the CI ?

You can check for the transport profile parameters in STMS itself. Select the system and double click on it. On the opened screen choose the tab parameters.

Kind Regards,

Hi Abhishek,

Yes, from CI only we don't have dialog instance.

For more details please find attached screen.

parameters set in qua and prd  as DIR_TRANS=\\FFP-DEV\sapmnt\trans

Anyhelp?

Hi Venkat,

Please try this path "\\$(SAPTRANSHOST)\sapmnt\trans"

I think its an access related issue.

Make sure you have given sufficient access to directory \\devhostname\\sapmnt\trans for QA system.

And in your path name there are two "\\" before sapmnt. I guess this causes the issue.

Hi Raj,

Thanks for your reply.

\\devhostname\\sapmnt\trans is having full access.

And in your path name there are two "\\" before sapmnt.----> this is typing mistake of mine.in system it is entered properly.

lease try this path "\\$(SAPTRANSHOST)\sapmnt\trans"---> i will try this.

one more thing am not able to open dev trans directory in AL11 also, it is giving error.

Thanks,

Venkat

Hi Venkat,

The ideal steps to check TMS configuration is as below.

1. RFC Connection test

2. Transport directory check

3. Transport control program (tp) check.

1. RFC connection test

The domain controller uses RFCs to communicate with the systems in the domain. Verify the RFC communications between QAS and the domain controller.

a) Execute transaction STMS. Choose the Systems Overview icon or choose Overview > Systems.

b) Choose the QAS system. Choose the Connection Test icon or follow SAP System > Check > Connection Test.

If the systems can communicate using RFCs, you will receive the message

Connection to System QAS (host <hostname>) OK.

2. Transport directory check
Exports physically write files to the file system level directories and imports read and update these files. Verify that the directory is available to the DEV and QAS systems and has the appropriate file system level permissions.

a) Execute transaction STMS. Choose the Systems Overview icon or choose Overview > Systems.

b) Choose the DEV system. Choose SAP System > Check > Transport Directory.

The system attempts to write a file to each subdirectory of the transport directory, read the file, and delete the file. The returned screen displays

the results of this test. A green check mark indicates that the test executed successfully. Expand the display list to see the individual tests.

c) Repeat the test for the QAS system.

3. Transport control program (tp) check
Exports and imports are physically executed by the operating system level program tp. Verify that the tp program and its parameter configuration is

consistent and that it can access the DEV and QAS databases.

a) Execute transaction STMS. Choose the Systems Overview icon or choose Overview > Systems.

b) Choose the DEV system. Choose SAP System > Check > Transport tool.

The system runs some consistency and connection tests on the transport program tp. The returned screen displays the results of this test. A green

check mark indicates that the test executed successfully. Expand the display list to see the individual tests.

c) Repeat the test for the QAS system.

Please do these steps and I hope you will get, where exactly the issue.

Rajkumar
