tp_buffer_inconsistency error.

Hi,

We are in process of BW upgrade from 3.1 to 7.0.

Started with Oracle Upgrade we got problem so we restored only database but when I started checking for support packages we are missing few. So I started reapplying but is erroring out.

- Error in phase: XPRA_EXECUTION

- Reason for error: TP_BUFFER_INCONSISTENCY

- Return code: 0008

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

SAPKB62031)

I am thinking inconsistency as we are restored only database and how restore SAP or cleared any specific tables so that i can reapply again support packages

hello chander,

I was facing a same problem in (Test Server) due to wrongly defined queu. Basis Patches 32 and 33 were supposed to be applied separately, but by mistake we defined a queue for Basis 32 to Basis 41 and HR26 to HR40. Due to this que was stuck in - error : DDIC_IMPORT phase.

- Reason for error: TP_BUFFER_INCONSISTENCY

- Return code: 0008

I solved this problem by deleting entries with status ='?' in PAT01, PAT03 and PAT10 tables.

This way we were able to delete the particular queue and spam was reset. This can be a last option to solve this problem..

please clear all the ? marks entries in these tables....
