tp Processing Sequence

tp collectively processes each import step for all requests before proceeding with the next import step.

tp does NOT process all import steps for only a single request before proceeding to the the next request.


Steps during Import

• ABAP Dictionary import• ABAP Dictionary activation• Distribution • Structure conversion(*)• Move nametabs(*)• Main import• Activation of the enqueue definitions• Enqueue conversion (*)• Import of application defined objects (ADOs)• Logical import• Versioning• Execution of user defined activities (XPRAs)• Generation of ABAP programs and screens

Troubleshooting (1)

Alert Monitor

• View tp connection errors

• Locate permission problems

• See RFC failures

• Review individual log files at the operating system level.

System Log (SLOG) Action Log (ALOG)

• View all tp return codes

• Locate what change request or generic phase produced a warning or error
