Transport control program tp could not be started

Hi,
While importing a request to Quality Server , transport terminates with an error "Transport control program tp could not be started" RFC error.
Function TMS_TP_IMPORT
Message TP_CALL_FAILED
Tp output says "This is tp version 340.16.37 (release 640)
Warning: Parameter DBLIBPATH is no longer used.
Warning: Parameter DBSWPATH is no longer used."
340.16.37.kernel release 640,patch number 193.
RSTPTEST was successful .
Changed auth/rfc_authority_check to value '0' in the profile and restarted.
user id provided in RFC connection is TMSADM and the user is
having "S_RFC" authorization object.
This error started after putting the oracle patchset 9.2.0.8.
SAP version 4.7, Oracle 9.2.0.8, on AIX 5.2
It will be appreciable if any one can help me out in this issue.

Saji Kumar

Hi,
provide result for
tcode - stms_import -> import queue -> check -> transport tool

All SAP expert i have query in STMS, i am trying to transport request from r/3 4.7 to CRm 4.0 & i am getting this error

Message : TP_CALL_FAILED
Error code: 4

any help will be appriciated,
Thanks In Advance.

Hi,
It may be a problem with your tp - if you want to be sure, use tp at the O/S Level to do your import and then you should be able to find the exact error.
At the request to buffer:
tp ADDTOBUFFER <change request #> <SID> pf=TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL
Then import it into the suitable client:
tp IMPORT <change request #> <SID> pf=TP_DOMAIN_<SID>.PFL
Please award points, if helpful.
Thanks, Dibya

Hello experts ,
Last one and half month on-words we are phasing some problems on STMS
while releasing the Transport Request getting this error messages on
status-bar
1. "could not start transport control program tp"
2. while importing the TR into quality system getting this error message" RFC Error :timeout during allocate/CPIC-CALL "
3.while forwarding the TR from QAS to PRD : " RFC Error :timeout during
allocate/CPIC-CALL "
after continues refreshing,we are able to release the request and importthe request into quality system. But after some time again same problem
coming
for this we did the kernel upgrade , tp , & R3trans update and STMS RE-
Configuration etc...But no use with this we got the same problem after
finishing all these workaround , but don't know what happened after 2-3
days STMS starts working fine DEV-QAS-PRD ,
Now we are in the same problem after continues refreshing,we are able torelease the request and import the request into quality system. But after
some time again same problem coming

Hi Giridhar,
I think its a cpic timeout occurring before reading tp could start. Please check the parameter gw/cpic_timeout in your system. The default may be 20 sec for this parameter.. You can consider it increasing to 60 sec.

The local Admin Password was reset to the "original" (after install) one.
Any ideas how to fix the problem?

Dear all,
the encryption was NO on all protocols.
Because no additional ideas available, i uninstalled the SQL Server on friday.
At the Re-Install Process i got again an error:
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the
other end of the pipe .
The install process failed.
On google i found the same problem in an other thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sqlserver.connect/browse_thread/thread/dbec4a9a271f69a6/7cd22694da3a6062?lnk=st&q=%22Shared+Memory+Provider%3A+No+process+is+on+the+other+end+of+the+pipe%22&rnum=2&hl=en#7cd22694da3a6062
++++++
During the installation process of SQL Server 2005, Setup complains it cannot
connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was:
[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: No process is on the
other end of the pipe .
I have checked that the pipe exists (\\.\pipe\SQLLocal\MyInstance), but
everytime the installer attempts the connecting the pipe is closed by the
server and another is reopened. That's why the Client says there is no
process on the other end of the pipe.
I have re-installed 'everything', tried connections via TCP, but nothing
works.
I have made a small application to connect to the pipe and noticed that
there are 3 instances of the pipe running, one that I am connecting to, and 2
listening pipes. If I write to 'my' pipe SQL server disconnects the pipe and
reopens another too. The difference is that SQL server writes an error
message in the log file. No such luck when the Native client is doing the
same.
What more can I do?
++++++
and an answer

I finaly found the problem to be the certificate used.
I noticed that a certificate was added to the machinekeys just recently.
(in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys)
I renamed it to another name and re-installed sql server.
I noticed that sql server ERRORLOG complained about certificate that it
couldn't load and the generation of a self-generaed certificate (see below)
"2005-12-10 21:01:02.30 Server The server could not load the
certificate it needs to initiate an SSL connection. It returned the following
error: 0x8009030d. Check certificates to make sure they are valid.
2005-12-10 21:01:02.49 Server A self-generated certificate was
successfully loaded for encryption."
Now the installation succeeded
++++++
With Windows 2008 it was really a challange to get access to this folder (!!!)
After clearing the folder the ReInstall of SQL Server works fine.
Now the SQL Server & the SQL Server Agent works again.
The problem was anything with encryption, old certs & files.
I don't think that everyone can afford reinstalling SQL server.
I finaly found the problem to be the certificate used.
I noticed that a certificate was added to the machinekeys just recently.
(in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys)
I think this is what the following blog was saying , a problem with certification

Transport control program tp ended with error code 0211

Dear Experts,
I have a problem in doing the import after the client export was successfully done.
I am actaully tring to do a client import/export from the PRD server to DEV server.
On PRD the client is 900 and on the DEV the client is 240.
I have manually copied the transport requests created into the
/usr/sap/trans/cofiles and /usr/sap/trans/data folders to the same on the DEV server.
After coping them,
I have tried to add these transport requests to the DEV server queue, i get the following error message
Transport control program tp ended with error code 0211
Message no. XT200
Diagnosis
An error occurred when executing a tp command.
Command: ADDTOBUFFER RT2KT00014 RT1 pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/T
Return code: 0211
Error text: no info about transport request found
Request: RT2KT00014
System Response
The function terminates.
Procedure
Correct the error and execute the command again if necessary.
After this I have tried to add the transports to the buffer at the OS level using the command
./tp pf=TPPARAM addtobuffer "RT2KT00014" RT1 U18 by going to the folder
/usr/sap/trans/bin
But it says that the tp is not found.
I have also checked the permissions for the TRANS folder, it has full access i.e 777
This is where i am struck, and the client has to be imported asap as the requirement for the SUPPORT TEAM is very urgent.
We are on AIX, Oracle 10G and ECC6
Thanks and regards
Harry

Dear Imtiaz,
Thanks for your quick fire reply...
The link helped me but it could not resolve my issue..
Infact i found it my self that the transport requests had to be given full FILE PERMISSIONS at the OS level
I logged in as ROOT
and changed directory to /usr/sap/trans/cofile and gave the command
chmod 777 RT00014.RT2 and
chmod 777 RX00014.RT2
and then went to STMS>SYSTEMS>Import View>Extras>Other requests--> Add ..
Here i added the request nos and then it added up in the queue and then i started the import.
Anyway thank you very for your reply..
Awareded points to you.
Thanks and regards
Harry...

Transport control program tp ended with error code 0203

when i import queue and transport queue from dev to prd ,error show:
Transport control program tp ended with error code 0203
Message no. XT200
Diagnosis
An error occurred when executing a tp command.
Command: IMPORT DEVK900298 P01 clientP01 U0 pf=/usr/sap/tra
Return code: 0203
Error text: wrong syntax in tp call
Request: DEVK900298
System Response
The function terminates.
Procedure
Correct the error and execute the command again if necessary.

Dear Allen,
The transport control program tp collects all return codes that occur when a tp command is executed. From all of these single return codes, a combined return code is calculated that tp outputs as a result at the end the command. During an import, for example, all return codes for individual import steps are handled. If a special return code does not occur, then the combined return code at the end is the maximum of individual return codes that occur. In addition to the value of the return code, tp also gives a short description of this return code. You can display this short description using the command explainrc.
Normally, all return codes that occur originate from individual transport steps. Since these individual return codes can only have the following values 0, 4, 6, 8, 12, 13, 14, 16, the combined return code also has one of these values. However, if a general error occurs, a single return code over 200 is generated. For example, this could arise if tp cannot establish a connection to the database. The maximum return code for all single transport steps is output in a separate message before specifying the combined returned code. In this case, the combined return code is always the return code of the general error message.
<b>tp Commands:</b>
tp addtobuffer <request> <sapsid>
As of Release 4.6A, an explicit addtobuffer command leaves the position of the entry unchanged, if the relevant transport request is already in the buffer. Only the status of the entry is changed:
Unconditional modes appearing in the command line are added to the unconditional modes in the buffer.
All the steps of the entry are re-initialized.
If the entry found is not an initial entry, the import step for the command file is set to *4000 .
Before you call this command and its options, consider the effects of changing the import sequence.
tp cleanbuffer <sapsid>
This deletes successfully imported change requests from the list of requests that are marked for import into the SAP System <SAPSID>. This function is contained in the commands tp import all <sapsid> and tp put <sapsid> .
tp delfrombuffer <request> <sapsid>
If the specified request is marked for import into the specified SAP System, this flag is deleted from the import list.
Before you call this command, consider the effects of changing the import sequence.
As of Release 4.6A: If a transport request was only partially imported, you can delete this type of transport request from the buffer. However, if a deleted transport request is placed in the buffer (without having been initially or completely imported), the attributes of the old entry are reactivated. This means the return codes, the unconditional modes and tags of the deleted entry appear in the new entry.
tp delstopmark <sapsid>
If the list of requests marked for import into the specified SAP System contains a STOP mark, the mark is deleted.
tp export <request>
This exports the complete request from the source system. This command starts the export of a request from the operating system level. Only use this command in exceptional cases. The SAP System uses the command expwbo to release requests from CTS transactions.
tp reformatbuffer <sapsid> [options]
This automatically reformats the entire buffer.
As of Release 4.5A, there are 2 different formats for buffer entries. (As of Release 4.5A, tp can work with both formats, and with a puffer containing heterogeneous entries. As of Release 4.6A, tp can work with 3 formats.)
However, in certain cases entries with the old formatting have to be reformatted during the normal run of tp . In this case, the entire buffer is automatically reformatted.
If you use the options downtorelease and Iagree for command reformatbuffer , you can format the buffer so that its formatting is compatible with an older release:
Option downtorelease <Release>
The command reformatbuffer with this option formats the buffer so that the formatting corresponds to the one used in an old release. This is necessary if tp writes buffer entries to the buffer of another system, but uses a buffer format that the transport control programs does not understand in this system.
Since older formats cannot store the same amount of information as the newer ones, some information contained in the original buffer may not be stored in the unformatted buffer. This may lead to data loss.
To avoid data loss, the original buffer is stored. In addition, you have the following functions:
Displaying the unformatted buffer (using showbuffer <SID> )
Displaying the original buffer (using showbuffer buffer=<SID>SAV )
Accepting the unformatted buffer (using reformatbuffer and the option Iagree yes )
Resetting the changes (using reformatpuffer and the option Iagree no )
If you call reformatpuffer using downtorelease , tp displays in detail if information was lost by reformatting, and what that information was. tp also names the commands that is has to execute to accept or reject the changes.
If you use the option downtorelease , you must also specify the option Iagree with yes or no . You cannot use the transport system until you decide to accept or reject the changes.
Option Iagree
Here are the following values for this option:
yes ( true )
Accept the change made by tp reformatbuffer <SID> downtorelease <rel>
In this case, tp deleted the buffer semaphore file that was lifted for security reasons at the first call of reformatbuffer
no ( false )
Reject the change made by tp reformatbuffer <SID> downtorelease <rel> In this case, tp copies the backup of the original buffer back and deletes the buffer semaphore file that was lifted for security reasons at the first call of reformatbuffer
tp setstopmark <sapsid>
A special STOP mark is added to the list of requests registered for import into the specified SAP System. The commands tp import all <sapsid> and tp put <sapsid> only process the requests in front of this stop mark.
If there is no stop mark, it is automatically generated by the commands
tp import all <sapsid> and tp put <sapsid> .
When all the requests in front of the stop mark have been imported successfully, at the end of all the calls the related marks and the mark itself are deleted.
A STOP mark can only be placed at the end of the change requests that have already been marked. In addition, it can only be set if no other mark of the same kind already exists.
tp showparams <sapsid>
This tp function displays which values the individual parameters of the transport profile have for the current SAP System.
tp verse <request>
This creates versions of the objects in the specified request. This transport step is contained in command export .
As of Release 4.5A, more actions that prepare the export are performed in this step.
Thanks and Regards,
Naveen.

Error: Test call of transport control program (tp) ended with return code 0

Hi Experts,
When we are trying to transport Request.
Error: Test call of transport control program (tp) ended with return code 0208
in STMS what are the steps to fallow to just back up the code.
Any Solutions is Greatly Appreciable...
Thanks in Advance,
Ram,

Hi,
a)If your system is UNIX check /usr/sap/trans is mounted or not?
b)After configuring TMS did you save and activate?that can be one reason.
c)tp might be corrupted.u need to upgrade your tp. (or you can upgrade to the latest kernel)
Please check the below link
could not start transport control program tp
However as suggested by NIbu, you should restart the server once before doing any other checks
Thanks

Test call of transport control program (tp) ended with return code 0249

Hi,
When i release a TR i get the following error
Pls let me know of what can be the reason for the same
I did a kernel upgrade 2 days back
Test call of transport control program (tp) ended with return code 0249
Message no. TK094
Diagnosis
Your transport request could not be exported, since all requirements were not fulfilled.
Calling the transport control program tp
   "tp EXPCHK BWDK900308 pf=
WDBSSAPBWD01\sapmnt\trans\bin\TP_DOMAIN_BWD.PFL -Dtransdi"
which checks the export requirements, returned the following information:
Return code from tp: 0249
Error text from tp: ERROR: No connect due to DbSl Load Lib Failure
System Response
Further processing is terminated.
Procedure
Check the following points:
u2022     Feasibility of the transport control program tp
u2022     Parameter settings in the transport profile
u2022     Availability of the transport directory and the subdirectories (cofiles, data, log, sapnames, bin)
u2022     Write authorization for the subdirectories
u2022     Write authorization for the files of the subdirectories cofiles, data, log, sapnames
Release the request again when the error has been removed

Hi Balaji,
End of your question contains the areas to be varified.
Your SAP seems to be installed in windows environment
Check transport profile paramater and file permissions.
Try to browse the directory
WDBSSAPBWD01\sapmnt\trans\bin\ from start->run
Check with tp connecting to DB with tp connect <SID>
chceck file permission to datafile and cofiles (in case of OS UNIX)

Ganesh

Test call of transport control program (tp) ended with return code 0200 Message no. TK094

Hello Expert,
My SAP System environment as follow
SAP Product : SAP NetWeaver 04
Operating System : Windows 2003 32 bit
SAP Database : MS SQL 2005 32 bit
I have installed SAP NetWeaver 04 system with system copy option. I have installed Application server & Database server on different physical server. App server : SSC2PAS3SFWBW and Database Server : SSC2PAS3SFSQW1.
After SAP NetWeaver 04 installation with system copy I have done TMS configuration with virtual system for a test, It is working fine but while releasing request form SFD system (Development system) it get error “Test call of transport control program (tp) ended with return code 0200. Message no. TK094”
I have reconfigured the TMS and check but it can’t help. TR gets release and import with OS level but at SAP level it gets error.

Transport control program tp ended with error code 0208

Hello
I installed minisap NW2004s on XP/SP2 VMWARE 4.5. The installation it self's works fine, but have some problems in the stms. when i call the transport queue there appears an error as follow:

Any Idea? Thanks for your help.
Regards, George

Hi
You can edit the parameter profile using RZ10 and RZ11. You should not copy but manually edit the parameters. Also you need to make a consistency check so that the parameters will be copied to the database from the OS level. You will find an option to perform consistency check in RZ11.
Hope that helps.

STMS: Transport control program tp ended with error code 0232

Dear ERP Gurus,
I just encountered problem with STMS in my PRD system. The import is just stuck up on "tp connecting to database". It won't continue unitl the system gives me this error message:
Transport control program tp ended with error code 0232
Errors: connect failed
The tp System log says:
ERROR: Connect to PRD failed (20090227135454, probably wrong environment)
I have verified that the suggestion in SAP Note 165708 has already been implemented in our DEV, QAS, and PRD instances.
Any idea why I am having this problem? Imports were running fine yesterday. Please help.
Your prompt response is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Albert

Hi Albert,
First check import monitor and delete all requests from queue, which are still getting imported.
And go to /usr/sap/trans/tmp and mv all those tmp files to other location.
Then kill all OS jobs which are getting execute with tp.
Check all jobs are runnig fine, related to transportation. If not reschedule the same.
