Error while importing SPAM version 7.0/33 Tp ended with error code 12.

Question

Hi all,
Os: Windows 2003 advanced server
DB: MaxDB 7.6
SAP: NetWeaver 2004S - (ABAP+JAVA) EP
When i was trying to import latest SAPM on the system. V 7.0/33 it got stopped in the middle at
IMPORT_PROPER phase.
Please find the error as follows:
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: 0012
     -   Error message: OCS Package SAPKD70033, tp step "R", return code
         0012
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
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 calling the
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 .
A list of the most important SAP Notes for Online Correction Support
(OCS) is available in SAP Note 97620, which is updated regularly.
In the import log file the errors was :
Program terminated (job: RDDEXECL, no.: 14444101)
Job log for this job is ;
Job started
Step 001 started (program RDDEXECL, variant , user ID DDIC)
All DB buffers of application server nanadual were synchronized
ABAP/4 processor: SYSTEM_RUDI_INVALID
Job cancelled
Please let me know if you need more details...

Hi Nanda,
Please check your trans log for further details .
It cud be caused due to unavailability of RDDIMPDP batch job which is mandatory for any SPAM / SP updates to work.
If this is the case you wud require to trigger the batch job RDDIMPDP using report RDDNEWPP(From SE38). This needs to be triggered in 000 as well as other existing clients too.
once this is done please resume your SPAM Update. it shud go ahead.
Next possibility that you cud check is updating your tp / R3trans with latest available from Service market place.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Prem
