Hi ,

It seems that you are giving this command from OS level.

This error comes generally because you are not giving profile name which is must for this command.So plz use tp -help to see what command you can use to test your tp connection.Generally this command is as

tp connect SID pf=transport profile name.

Thanks..

Hi Shravan,

Check this link

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_dimp50/helpdata/en/3d/ad5b9b4ebc11d182bf0000e829fbfe/content.htm

Usually the profile resides in /trans/bin dir for Unix.

ok got the point now.Since when you are getting this isse.

Go to RZ10 & check what is value set here.It seems that its local E:\usr\sap\trans.I think you have included system in transport domain .So change the DIR_TRANS value to that trans dir i.e. DIR_TRANS=
<host name of domain controller>\sapmnt\trans .I think you need a restart & after it should work fine.

Thanks..

If there are any environmentvariables to be set let me with the Name and Value.

Is there any thing i need to configure and when I test RSTPTEST it shows all in green Tick marks.

Hi ,

Go to kernel directory & execute this command from taking command prompt from exe folder.This is general issue & i have done this several times.

Thanks..

Ok, this should work irrespective of place where you are executing..

/usr/sap/SID/<instance>/SYS/exe/tp connect ECD pf=E:\usr\sap\trans\bin\TP_DOMAIN_ECD.PFL ..

and still it gives same error, we have some other issue.

@Mohit . As we are getting some return code 208 .. is'nt system is calling tp ?

[Former Member]

Hi ,

Please try one thing.

Simply go to command prompt & simply type tp -help.If you are getting the help manu then its not problem of your tp.In case you are not getting it then its the issue of your tp connect.

please check for your tp first.

Thanks..

HI Prashant,

As you are doing correctly from bin directory, it should take .pfl file as default as long you are doing it with sidadm user and it have proper environmental set for it.

Please try tp connect SID pf=transport profile name, it should work.

However it should also work without giving pf=transport profile.

If it works when you give pf=transport profile, please set environmental variable in your windows system and then verify.
