SAP ECC 6.0 Update to EHP3: Wrong tp buffer format

Question

Dear Experts,
in order to update SAP ECC 6.0 to EHP3, i'm facing a problem at the IMPORT_PROPER Phase of the Update. Here is the message error:
The import checks of your system showed that you still use the old tp buffer format in your Transport Management System. Since the current queue contains packages with a name longer than 10 characters, tp needs a buffer with the new format to import the queue correctly.
Set the parameter NBUFFORM = 1 in the transport tool configuration in the Transport Management System (Transaction STMS) (See also the documentation of STMS). Then continue the import of the queue.
I have checked in the TP_DOMAIN_ECC.PFL file in D:\usr\sap\trans\bin path and it is per default as show below:
TRANSDIR            =
sap-ecc\sapmnt\trans
ECC/DBHOST          = SAP-ECC
ECC/DBNAME          = ECC
ECC/DBTYPE          = mss
ECC/NBUFFORM        = 1
ECC/TP_VERSION      = 266
My question is: How to perform NBUFFORM = 1 with the STMS T-Code?
Any ideas are welcomed.
Thank you very much in advance.
Regards,
Pascal.

- logon to client 000 on your TMS domain controller system
- start STMS
- "Overview" - "Systems"
- doubleclick on the domain controller system
- press on "change"
- select tab "transport tool"
- check the parameters and save
- then go back and select in the systems overview "SAP System" - "Update configuration"
