The SAP error message
/SMB/TRANSP_INFRA202
typically occurs during the transport process when executing an After-Import Method for a target client. This error can arise due to various reasons, including issues with the transport request, problems with the target client configuration, or issues with the After-Import Method itself.Cause:
- Transport Request Issues: The transport request may not be properly configured or may contain errors.
- Client Configuration: The target client may not be set up correctly, or there may be inconsistencies in the client settings.
- After-Import Method Errors: The custom After-Import Method may contain errors or may not be compatible with the current system configuration.
- Authorization Issues: The user executing the transport may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the operation.
- System Locking: The target client may be locked or in a state that prevents the execution of the After-Import Method.
Solution:
- Check Transport Request: Review the transport request for any errors or inconsistencies. Ensure that all objects are correctly included and that there are no missing dependencies.
- Verify Client Configuration: Ensure that the target client is properly configured. Check for any inconsistencies in client settings, such as user authorizations and client-specific settings.
- Debug After-Import Method: If you have access to the code of the After-Import Method, debug it to identify any potential issues. Look for any runtime errors or exceptions that may be causing the failure.
- Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the transport has the necessary authorizations to perform the operation. This may include authorizations for the transport management system and the specific objects being transported.
- Check System Status: Ensure that the target client is not locked or in a state that would prevent the execution of the After-Import Method. You can check the client status in transaction

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
