• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA203 - Executing After-Import-Method (no target client specified ) ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA203 Executing After-Import-Method (no target client specified) typically occurs during the transport of objects in the SAP system, particularly when using the Transport Management System (TMS). This error indicates that the system is trying to execute an after-import method, but it cannot find a target client specified for the operation.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Target Client: The most common cause of this error is that the transport request is being executed without a specified target client. This can happen if the transport is being imported into a system where the target client is not defined or if the transport request is not properly configured.
  Transport Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the transport configuration in the Transport Management System (TMS) that prevent the system from identifying the target client.
  Custom After-Import Methods: If there are custom after-import methods defined in the transport request, and they are not properly set up to handle cases where no target client is specified, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Specify Target Client: Ensure that you specify a target client when executing the transport request. You can do this in the transport management console or during the import process.
  Check Transport Configuration: Review the transport configuration in TMS to ensure that all clients and systems are correctly defined. Make sure that the target client is included in the transport route.
  Review After-Import Methods: If there are custom after-import methods, review their implementation to ensure they can handle cases where no target client is specified. You may need to modify the logic to check for a valid target client before executing any operations.
  Use Transaction STMS: Use transaction STMS to monitor the transport requests and check for any inconsistencies or errors in the transport logs. This can provide additional insights into what might be causing the issue.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that resolve known issues related to transport imports.
