hi

when i am trying to uddate spam from 18-29 it gives me following error

The import was stopped, since an error occurred during the phase

IMPORT_PROPER, which the Support Package Manager is unable to resolve

without your input.

After you have corrected the cause of the error, continue with the

import by choosing Support Package -> Import queue from the initial

screen of the Support Package Manager.

The following details help you to analyze the problem:

- Error in phase: IMPORT_PROPER

- Reason for error: TP_STEP_FAILURE

- Return code: 0008

- Error message: OCS Package ALL, tp step "6", return code 0008

Notes on phase IMPORT_PROPER

In this phase repository objects and table entries are imported. This

phase can terminate due to the following reasons:

o TP_INTERFACE_FAILURE: The tp interface could not be called.

o TP_FAILURE: The program tp could not be executed. For more

information on this, see the SLOG or ALOG log file.

o TP_STEP_FAILURE: A tp step could not be executed. To find the cause

of the error, see the appropriate log, such as the import log.

If the cancelation message contains a tp step 6, N or S, the step in

question is independent of the transport request. You can find these

logs under the node Import steps not specific to transport request

in the log overview.

Alternatively, you can find these logs in the following files in the logs under the node Import steps not specific to transport request

in the log overview.

Alternatively, you can find these logs in the following files in t

log directory of your transport directory (usually:

/usr/sap/trans/log):

- tp Step 6: P<YY><MM><DD>.<SID>

- tp Step N: N<YY><MM><DD>.<SID>

- tp Step S: DS<YY><MM><DD>.<SID>

You can display these files using the report RSPUTPRT or by callin

transaction AL11.

A prerequisite of the Support Package Manager is that the Change and

Transport System (CTS) is configured correctly. For more detailed

information, read the online documentation available from Help -> SAP

Library -> mySAP Technology Components -> SAP Web Application Server -

Change and Transport System .

Please post the log of a particular support pack in /usr/sap/trans/log directory.

Hi Subash,

Please do the below steps to resolve the issue. Defintely it will works.

1) stop R/3 through MMC

2) put the following environment variables:

2.1) setenv SHLIB_PATH /usr/sap/BSP/sys/exe/run

2.2) setenv dbms_type ora ( if your DB is oracle)

3) start sap through MMC (to take new values of these environment variables)

4) Restart SPAM update.

I guess it will resolve with the NEW environment variable "dbms_type".

Please do that and let me know if still error persists.

Thanks

Hi

What is your current tp version?

Did you upgraded the kernel?

Check whether the tp tool runs at o/s level,

Check the background jobs have been in release and in running state.

Hi buddy

Which user were you using to import, sap*/ddic or someone else?

Does this error occur only when you update the SPAM? Every tranport request can be done successfully?

Reconfigure your STMS & check consistency of transport tool

As a pre-requisite execute r3trans -d returns code <0000> which is a mandatory before applying SP

Login as SIDADM

Also try performing a kernel upgrade see that can also update tp.exe & r3trans.exe.

Hello Subhash,

Please check if the Tp tool is working fine(via STMS).

Also, please check the logs if there are any DB errors.
