Error in IMPORT_PROPER phase

Former Member · ‎2006 Jan 12

Hi guys,

I am trying to apply SP on my system 09-15

and I get and import_proper phase error below:

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_BUFFER_INCONSISTENCY

- Return code: 0008

- Error message: Pkgs. in queue don"t exist in the tp buffer (e.g.

SAPKB64010)

Tried the following:

Generated a new TP Parameter through STMS

Clear the log files

Tried to clear the buffer manually with S37 OCS_RESET_QUEUE getting an object locked message.

Updated the Kernel and SPAM/SAINT

Please Help

Thanks,

Damien

Hi, Damien

i am sorry but your command have to be corrected.

tp addtobuffer R5K1078 <sid> pf=<path>\profilename.pfl transdir=/usr/sap/trans

IF it works fine for you please rate this.

quick postcript to my last entry ... i have noticed some circumstances that appear to cause this situation. if you begin your saint import and then use stms to watch the progress, then the act of refreshing the import buffer display in stms seems to clobber all the buffer entries except the syncmark ones. very weird, but it has done this consistently and i kept having to repeat my tp addtobuffer script. if you stay well away from stms while saint is in progress, you don't seem to have any problems

I experienced exactly the same problem when applying the SOLMAN EHP1 installation/upgrade despite meticulously following note 1169247. This was particularly annoying because we applied the packages to the DEV machine without any issues and then only encountered the problem in production. I still don't know what the root cause is, but this is what fixed it for me (thanks for the clues above)

The error I got was the good old "Pkgs. in queue don"t exist in the tp buffer".

1. I investigated the tp buffer by doing the following:

cd /usr/sap/trans/bin

tp show buffer SMP pf=TP_DOMAIN_SMP.PFL

The only things in the buffer were a whole lot of SYNCMARK entries and nothing else!

2. I scrubbed the contents of the buffer (after checking no tp processes were running):

rm /usr/sap/trans/buffer/SMP (alternatively do a tp cleanbuffer SID ...)

3. This is the important bit. You need to know what transports to add and IN WHAT ORDER

Start transaction SAINT

There is a [Logs] button on the front screen, press it

On the next screen, you will see something that says "Overview of transport logs"

For every transport (eg. SAPK-701DHINSAPBASIS) that you see in the list, you need to do the following:

tp ADDTOBUFFER <TPT No.> SMP U1 pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_SMP.PFL tag=spam -DCTC=0 -Dtransdir=/usr/sap/trans

tp SETSYNCMARK <TPT No.> SMP U1 pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_SMP.PFL tag=spam -DCTC=0 -Dtransdir=/usr/sap/trans

Once you have finished the entire list (I used a spreadsheet to generate the 150-odd entries I had to make), I restarted SAINT and it went in without issues. Hope this helps.

Great help guys !!!

I avoid the format is works for me !!!

Dear Damien,

Have you've checked the package assigned to the program?

If you use SE80, you can find it via the menu: Goto > Attbributes.

When you need to reassign to another package:

- Rightclick the object/programname

- More functions...

- Change package assignment

This worked for me with a simular error...

Regards,

Eric

solution for this problem

tp ADDTOBUFFER <requestno> <SID> U1 pf="<path to your transpport profile and file> tag=spam -DCTC=0 -Dtransdir="<path to your transdir>"

HI

AS I U SAID,,ME TOO HAVING THE SAME ERROR...I FOUND WE CANNOT ROLLBACK TO OLD STATUS AFTER ALL IT IS AFFECTED TO THE DATABASE......

UP!

Former Member · ‎2006 Feb 02

Hi All!

I have a similar problem on my Netweaver'04 BW Productive Instance, STMS is on Stuck and no more transport are possible!!!

VERY BAD!!!

I have the SAME error and i checked all the possible but finding nothing interesting

Following a print screen from varous commands such as "TP SHOWPARAMS" "TP ADDTOBUFFER" etc..

Could you check again for me?

Thanks in advance...

Hi Damien,

Please check if your TMS is configured properly and working as supposed. You can create a dummy transport request and import it to the system you are trying to update.

Alternatively you can add your package to TP buffer manually (via "tp addtobuffer ..." command) but it will only work if TMS is configured.

Regards,

Mike
