I want to transport, but I can't. due to continuous loading.

A transport request is based on two files: COfile DATAfile

the COfile contains the log of a transport request.

All these files should be present in a shared directory.

If you server is running Linux/Unix, the share tool should NFS (or Samba). Check if you have no issue with this share directory & the NFS ..

Hi Saddam,

First please check the STMS consistency in domain controller if STMS is consistent or not.
Please also check transport routes are distributed and activated.
please check /usr/sap/trans directory how it is mounted. if it is common on all systems or every system is having its own local trans directory.
if same trans directory is shared with all hosts then check if trans directory is mounted properly on all hosts and its accessible.

Follow above steps it will work.

As per screen shot issue is with file system accessibliity.

Saddam,

There are several possibilities for a cause here. For instance, if you have DNS issues with hostname resolution, that can cause this symptom. Also, if you do not use a common shared transport directory, i.e. if each of your systems has its own \trans folder, then STMS is forced to spend time copying all the contents back and forth, which really slows things down. This is definitely not a recommended landscape setup, if so. Or, if your transport buffer has become exceptionally large, it may be slowing things down.

I recommend you look at the following Notes as a starting point for your troubleshooting:
1924741: It takes a long time to refresh a system's import queue
2474319: Import queue stuck in refresh with <SID>:Copying import queue <SID>

If you have setup your landscape without a central shared transport host, then I recommend you look at my (old) blog post Migration of Transport Host for some suggestions about to consolidate.

Cheers,
Matt
