Chapter 17: Change ManagementTransporting Objects3. Enter the transport command. To specify an individual transport, enter:tp import client=tp import devk900023 prd client=100Where the: Transport number is devk900023 Target system is PRD Target client number is 100 To import the entire import buffer, enter:tp import all tp import all prdYou may be instructed in an SAP note or by the SAPNet hotline to use Unconditional codesor U codes. These are special program option switches that the tp program uses during theimport process. In NT, use QuickSlice, an application included with the NT resource kit, and the CPUactivity in the NT Performance Monitor to monitor the import process. After a fewtimes, you will recognize the activity pattern of a transport. In UNIX, use the utilities top or xload to monitor the import process.1. Record the start and finish time for the transport on the transport log or the transportform.2. Check the exit code.If you receive an exit code of 8 or higher, the import failed. You must resolve theproblem and reimport the transport. If you get a return code of 8, there is a knowncondition where this return code does not match the transport log. This condition isdescribed in Checking the Transport Log section below.3. Check the transport log (see below).The transport log indicates why a transport failed.The information in this chapter is only a portion of the first half of the process, that is,determining if the transport succeeded or failed. The second half of the process,investigating why the transport failed, is not covered. If the transport involves an objectsuch as an ABAP program or SAPscript layout, you will need the assistance of yourprogrammers to determine why it failed and how to fix it.System Administration Made Easy17–35
