• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_OVERLP002 - tp process failed with the error message: &1 ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_OVERLP002 typically indicates that there is an issue with the transport process, specifically related to overlapping transport requests. This error can occur during the transport of objects between different SAP systems (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Cause:
  The error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_OVERLP002 is generally caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Overlapping Transport Requests: Two or more transport requests are trying to transport the same objects or changes at the same time, leading to a conflict.
  Transport Directory Issues: There may be issues with the transport directory or the transport management system configuration.
  Lock Issues: The objects being transported may be locked by another process or user, preventing the transport from completing successfully.
  Incorrect Transport Sequence: The transport requests may not be in the correct sequence, leading to dependencies not being met.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SCTS_DIST_CTL_OVERLP002 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  Review the transport requests involved in the process. Ensure that there are no overlapping requests trying to transport the same objects.
  Use transaction SE01 or SE09 to analyze the transport requests and their statuses.
  
  
  
  Release Locks:

  Adjust Transport Sequence:

  Check Transport Directory:
  
  Verify the transport directory settings and ensure that they are correctly configured. You can check the transport directory settings in transaction STMS.
  
  
  
  Retry the Transport:
