Error 12 for R3trans -d could mean multiple things.

Once you run the R3trans -d from sidadm account, a file trans.log would be generated in the Current Directory from where you executed the R3trans command.

Check the R3trans.log for the actual issue.

If the Connectivity to DB Using your SAP Schema is the suggested cause for Error 12, use note 400241 to fix that. This is nothing major, happens all the time.

Some setting, some parameter here and there and R3trans gives the error. Even though you can run SAP, don't leave this thing ignored as in future it may cause you problems when starting SAP even though it works perfectly fine currently.

Multiple answers ,

Your R3trans is issued with -

wrong user

wrong path ( R3trans.log unable to make )

So basically the way you issued is not proper, but its fine.

Second,

If you kill listener in a running system, Your R3trans -d will fail. This basically means no new connections.

But existing connections will work. So for some time your system will work fine. But you are living on the edge.

( In a similar way you can kill a running message server , your system will still live, but new connections will get error )

Hope it helps.

Hi Sateesh

Are you executing the command using SAP SIDADM user id at OS level? Could you share the log.

Hello Sateesh,

R3trans is transport program.

and as per SAP """R3trans is used to transport data between SAP Systems and for the migration between different SAP releases"".

Already started and running SAP system giving error 0012 does not mean SAP should not have been up and running.

Please check following SAP note :-

403004 - Database connect using R3trans fails
