How to fix this error?

The following lists all the reasons why a Support Package cannot be
included in the upgrade:
<ZH>CANNOT_DETERMINE_EPS_PARCEL</>
The EPS parcel is not in the EPS inbox. This is probably because it has
been deleted. You need to download the appropriate Support Package.
To get to the inbox, call the Support Package Manager (Transaction
SPAM) and choose <LS>Environment</> -> <LS>EPS
</> -> <LS>Goto</> -> <LS>Inbox</>.
It may also be the case that a profile parameter has been configured
incorrectly. Use program RSPARAM to check the value of DIR_EPS,
<ZH>CANNOT_DETERMINE_R_DATA_FILE (TRANS)</>
The path of the R3trans data file in the directory /usr/sap/trans/data
could not be determined. This is probably because one of the profile
parameters is incorrectly configured. Use program RSPARAM to check the
value of DIR_TRANS.
<ZH>CANNOT_DETERMINE_R_DATA_FILE (PUT)</>
The path of the R3trans data file in the directory /usr/sap/put/data
could not be determined. This is probably because one of the profile
parameters is incorrectly configured. Use program RSPARAM to check the
value of DIR_PUT.
<ZH>CANNOT_DETERMINE_D_DATA_FILE (TRANS)</>
The path of the ADO data file in the directory /usr/sap/trans/data
could not be determined. See point 2.
<ZH>CANNOT_DETERMINE_D_DATA_FILE (PUT)</>
The path of the ADO data file in the directory /usr/sap/put/data could
not be determined. See point 3.
<ZH>CANNOT_DETERMINE_COFILE (TRANS)</>
The path of the cofile in the directory /usr/sap/trans/cofiles could
not be determined. See point 2.
<ZH>CANNOT_DETERMINE_COFILE (PUT)</>
The path of the cofile in the directory /usr/sap/put/cofiles could not
be determined. See point 3.
<ZH>CANNOT_SKIP_ATTRIBUTE_RECORD</>
The attributes could not be read from the corresponding EPS parcel.
User <sid>adm probably does not have read authorization for the
directory /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in, or the EPS parcel does not exist
there.
<ZH>CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_R_DATA_FILE</>
The R3trans data file could not be disassembled. User <sid>adm probably
does not have read authorization for the directory
/usr/sap/trans/data/.
<ZH>CANNOT_DISASSEMBLE_D_DATA_FILE</>
The ADO data file could not be disassembled. See point 9.
<ZH>CANNOT_CREATE_COFILE</>
The cofile could not be created. User <sid>adm probably does not have
write authorization for the directory /usr/sap/trans/cofiles. For more
information, see the corresponding SLOG log file.
<ZH>CANNOT_COPY_R_DATA_FILE</>
EPS could not copy the R3trans data file from /usr/sap/trans/data to
the directory /usr/sap/put/data. /usr/sap/put/data probably cannot be
accessed through the application server, or user sid<adm> does not have
write authorization.
<ZH>CANNOT_COPY_D_DATA_FILE</>
EPS could not copy the ADO data file from /usr/sap/trans/data to the
directory /usr/sap/put/data. /usr/sap/put/cofiles probably cannot be

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TN187 - Phase &1 canceled due to reason &2 ?

  The SAP error message TN187, which states "Phase &1 canceled due to reason &2," typically occurs during the transport process in SAP systems. This message indicates that a specific phase of the transport process has been canceled due to a particular reason, which is represented by the placeholders &1 and &2.
  Causes:
  
  Transport Errors: The transport request may have encountered errors during the import process, such as missing objects, dependencies, or authorization issues.
  System Configuration Issues: There may be configuration problems in the source or target system that prevent the transport from completing successfully.
  Lock Issues: Objects being transported may be locked by other processes or users, causing the transport to fail.
  Version Conflicts: There may be version conflicts between the source and target systems, especially if the target system is not up to date.
  Transport Directory Issues: Problems with the transport directory or transport files can also lead to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Transport Logs: Review the transport logs for detailed error messages that can provide insight into what caused the cancellation. You can do this using transaction code STMS and navigating to the transport logs.
  Resolve Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects are included in the transport request. If any objects are missing, add them and re-attempt the transport.
  Check Authorizations: Verify that the user performing the transport has the necessary authorizations to execute the transport.
  Unlock Objects: If objects are locked, identify the locking user or process and resolve the lock before retrying the transport.
  System Consistency: Ensure that both the source and target systems are consistent and compatible. If necessary, update the target system to match the source system.
  Recreate Transport Request: If the transport request is corrupted, consider recreating it and re-adding the necessary objects.
