• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA717 - Processor is set to skip ANC due to skip of procedure/activation ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/TRANSP_INFRA717 Processor is set to skip ANC due to skip of procedure/activation typically relates to the transport management system (TMS) in SAP, particularly when dealing with the activation of transport requests or the application of changes in the system landscape.
  Cause:
  
  
  Skipped Procedure/Activation: The error indicates that the transport processor is configured to skip the activation of certain changes (ANC - Activation of New Changes). This can happen if:
  
  The transport request was not properly released.
  There are dependencies that were not met.
  The system settings or transport routes are misconfigured.
  The transport request is in a state that does not allow for activation.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the configuration of the transport landscape, such as incorrect settings in the TMS or missing authorizations.
  
  
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request itself may have issues, such as being incomplete or containing errors.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transport Request: Ensure that the transport request is fully released and does not contain any errors. You can do this by:
  
  Going to transaction SE09 or SE10 to check the status of the transport request.
  Ensuring that all objects in the transport request are correctly included and there are no inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Review TMS Configuration: Check the transport management system configuration:
  
  Go to transaction STMS and review the transport routes and settings.
  Ensure that the transport routes are correctly defined and that the system is properly configured to allow for the activation of changes.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: Verify if there are any dependencies that need to be resolved before the activation can occur. This may involve checking other transport requests or objects that need to be activated first.
  
  
  Manual Activation: If necessary, you can manually activate the changes in the target system using transaction SE80 or SE11 for specific objects, or by using the SICF transaction for service activation.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the transport logs for more detailed error messages that can provide insight into why the activation is being skipped. You can find logs in transaction STMS under the transport logs section.
  
  
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may help resolve temporary issues related to the transport processor.
