as of release 6.10 you need to add your transport profile:

tp addtobuffer <transport> <SID> pf=<transport profile>

You can also run the command without specifying profile but you have to be in the /usr/sap/trans/bin directory when executing it.

[markus_doehr2 · Accepted solution]

Yes - but this is true if this is the only instance using that directory and if there exists a "tpparam" file. If you have a "central transport directory" with many profiles the system would most probably pick up the wrong one

Good point. My apologies

No need to apologize - in 90 % of the cases your statement is 100 % true
