Restart ABAP Import

Question

I'm installing ERP 2005; the database instance. The ABAP import I have an error and I would like to start the ABAP import from the beginning.
Is this possible? Or do I need to start the DB instance again (I want to use the same SID)

Hi,
Ok, firstable if you have TSK.bck in the installation directory. It means that process for SAPAPPL1_1 has been terminated abnormally, if you re-start the R3SETUP the error occurs since R3SETUP finds the .bck (back up) file.                                                                  
You can then:
1. delete (or move) SAPAPPL1_1.TSK.bck file from inst.dir.     
2. re-generate new SAPAPPL1_1.TSK.bck using command:                              
R3load -ctf I SAPAPPL1_1.STR DDLORA.TPL SAPAPPL1_1.TSK.bck ORA              
( please check the exact name and syntax, I am not quite sure)  
After you have regenerated new .bck file, you can proceed as described in     
note 455195. After that you will have a clear and consistent        
state of TSK files and database.
You might also want to find why file SAPAPPL1_1.TSK was not created properly and solve the problem (Ctrl+C, power off or disk space?)     
Thanks,

Re-start the import from scratch (recommended by SAP)
