• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA204 - Local client &1 does not fit target client &2 ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA204 Local client &1 does not fit target client &2 typically occurs during a transport operation when there is a mismatch between the source (local) client and the target client. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP transport management, particularly when moving objects between different clients in an SAP system landscape.
  Cause:
  
  
  Client Mismatch: The error indicates that the local client (the client from which the transport is being initiated) does not match the target client (the client to which the transport is being sent). This can happen if:
  
  The transport request is configured to be imported into a different client than intended.
  The transport request was created in a different client than the one you are trying to import it into.
  
  
  
  Transport Layer Configuration: There may be issues with the transport layer configuration that restricts the transport from being imported into the specified target client.
  
  
  Transport Request Type: The type of transport request (e.g., customizing, workbench) may not be compatible with the target client.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Client Configuration:
  
  Verify that you are importing the transport request into the correct target client. Ensure that the client numbers match the intended configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Request:
  
  Check the transport request to ensure it was created in the correct source client. You can do this by reviewing the transport logs or the transport request details in transaction SE09 or SE10.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transport Layer:
  
  Ensure that the transport layer is correctly configured and that the transport route allows for the transport to be imported into the target client.
  
  
  
  Import into Correct Client:
  
  If you are trying to import the transport request into the wrong client, switch to the correct client and attempt the import again.
  
  
  
  Consult Transport Logs:
  
  Review the transport logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the transport operation in both the source and target clients.
