• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TA472 - Reimport in other target clients ?

  The SAP error message TA472 typically occurs when there is an issue with the transport request during the re-import process in different target clients. This error can arise due to various reasons, such as inconsistencies in the transport directory, missing objects, or issues with the transport management system.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Directory Issues: The transport files may not be available in the transport directory, or there may be inconsistencies in the transport directory.
  Missing Objects: The objects that are supposed to be transported may not exist in the target client or may have been deleted or modified.
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may not be in the correct status (e.g., it may be released but not imported).
  Client-Specific Objects: If the transport request contains client-specific objects, they may not be applicable to the target client.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the transport in the target client.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Directory: Verify that the transport files are present in the transport directory. You can do this by checking the file system on the application server.
  Review Transport Request: Ensure that the transport request is correctly released and does not contain any errors. You can check the status of the transport request using transaction code SE01 or SE09.
  Check for Missing Objects: Use transaction code SE03 to analyze the transport request and check for any missing objects or dependencies.
  Client-Specific Considerations: If the transport request contains client-specific objects, ensure that they are relevant for the target client. You may need to create a new transport request for client-independent objects.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user performing the transport has the necessary authorizations in the target client. You can check this using transaction code SU53 after attempting the transport.
  Re-import the Transport: If everything seems correct, try to re-import the transport request using transaction code STMS and see if the error persists.
