• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA399 - Backup of installation data not needed anymore, deleted ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA399 Backup of installation data not needed anymore, deleted typically indicates that the system has automatically deleted backup data related to the installation of a transport layer or component because it is no longer needed. This message is part of the transport management system (TMS) in SAP, which handles the movement of development objects between different SAP systems.
  Cause:
  
  Automatic Cleanup: SAP systems have built-in mechanisms to manage storage and maintain system performance. When the installation data is no longer required (for example, after a successful installation or upgrade), the system may automatically delete the backup to free up space.
  Retention Policy: The system may be configured with a retention policy that dictates how long backup data should be kept. Once the retention period expires, the data is deleted.
  Manual Deletion: An administrator may have manually triggered a cleanup process that resulted in the deletion of the backup data.
  
  Solution:
  
  No Action Required: In most cases, this message is informational and does not require any action. It indicates that the system is managing its resources effectively.
  Check System Configuration: If you want to adjust how long backups are retained, you can check the TMS configuration settings. This can be done in transaction STMS under the "Transport Management System" settings.
  Review Transport Logs: If you are concerned about the deletion, you can review the transport logs to ensure that the transport operations were successful and that there are no underlying issues.
  Backup Strategy: If you need to keep backups for a longer period, consider implementing a manual backup strategy or adjusting the retention settings in your transport management configuration.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): This is the SAP component responsible for managing the transport of changes between different SAP systems (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production).
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as STMS (Transport Management System), SE01 (Transport Organizer), and SE09 (Workbench Organizer) for managing transports.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific guidance or updates related to your version of SAP, as there may be patches or recommendations that address similar issues.
