File not found in \sapmnt\trans\tmp

Question

Hi All,
Some of my transports are failing with return code = 12 with logs similar to the following:
1 ETP199X######################################
1 ETP162 EXECUTION OF REPORTS AFTER PUT
1 ETP101 transport order     : "<transport request #>"
1 ETP102 system              : "<SID>"
1 ETP108 tp path             : "tp"
1 ETP109 version and release : "340.16.37" "640"
1 ETP198
4 ETP141 Temporary log file "
<hostname>\sapmnt\trans\tmp\<file>.<SID>" not found.
1 ETP162 EXECUTION OF REPORTS AFTER PUT
1 ETP110 end date and time   : "20090314042021"
1 ETP111 exit code           : "12"
1 ETP199 ######################################
As a temporary workaround, I copy a file from the
<hostname>\sapmnt\trans\tmp directory and rename it to the filename being looked for and rerun the import in STMS. So far, it works.
My question is why does this happen and how can I prevent it from always happening? I already performed checks in STMS (transport directory, connection test, transport tool, transport routes) and everything seems fine.
Please advise.
Thanks,
regina

Hai,
Please check whether you have enough space in the directory, sometimes you get this kind of error due to this as well.
Also try updating tp and R3trans as said in the earlier post.
I guess there is no such document which speaks about the error and the remedy for it. You just have to try, anyway updating your R3trans and tp will not harm anything since they are upward compatible.
