  The SAP error message TA014 "No restart possible - no tables copied before termination" typically occurs during a transport operation, particularly when there is an issue with the transport process that prevents it from completing successfully. This error indicates that the transport process was terminated before any tables were copied, which means that there is no data to roll back or restart from.
  Causes:
  
  Transport Process Termination: The transport process may have been interrupted due to various reasons such as system crashes, network issues, or manual termination.
