Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STC_SC_TASKS068 - TMS is already configured, will be overwritten ?

  The SAP error message STC_SC_TASKS068 indicates that there is an issue with the Transport Management System (TMS) configuration in your SAP system. Specifically, it means that the TMS is already configured, and any new configuration attempts will overwrite the existing settings.
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when:
  
  You are trying to configure TMS again while it is already set up.
  There may be an attempt to import a transport request that includes TMS configuration changes.
  There is a mismatch or inconsistency in the TMS configuration settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Current TMS Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code STMS to access the Transport Management System.
  Verify the current configuration settings to ensure they are correct and meet your requirements.
  
  
  
  Avoid Overwriting:
  
  If you are trying to configure TMS again, consider whether it is necessary. If the current configuration is correct, you may not need to make any changes.
  If you need to make changes, ensure you have a backup of the current configuration.
  
  
  
  Use Transport Requests Carefully:
  
  If you are importing a transport request that includes TMS configuration, ensure that it is intended and that you are aware of the changes it will make.
  If you do not want to overwrite the existing configuration, avoid importing that specific transport request.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure TMS:
  
  If you need to reconfigure TMS, you can do so by first deleting the existing configuration. However, be cautious as this may affect your transport landscape.
  Use transaction STMS to delete the existing configuration and then reconfigure TMS as needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or guides related to TMS configuration for detailed steps and best practices.
  
  
  
  Check for System Consistency:
  
  Ensure that all systems in the transport domain are properly connected and that there are no inconsistencies in the transport routes.
