  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TO164 - Transport error display: Can be set for individual user (by user &1) ?

    The SAP error message TO164 indicates a transport error related to the transport management system (TMS). Specifically, it suggests that the transport request cannot be displayed for a particular user due to configuration settings. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

    Cause:

    1. User-Specific Settings: The error message indicates that the transport display settings are configured in such a way that the user (identified by &1) is not authorized to view the transport request.
    2. Authorization Issues: The user may lack the necessary authorizations to access the transport request or the transport directory.
    3. Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow it to be displayed (e.g., it might be released or not yet released).
    4. System Configuration: There may be system-wide settings that restrict transport visibility based on user roles or profiles.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view transport requests. This can be done by checking the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
      • The user should have the appropriate authorizations for the transport management system, such as S_TRANSPRT (Transport Management System authorization).
    2. Review Transport Request Status:

      • Check the status of the transport request in transaction SE09 or SE10. Ensure that the request is in a status that allows it to be displayed (e.g., not in a "released" state if the user does not have access to released requests).
    3. Adjust User-Specific Settings:

      • If necessary, adjust the user-specific settings for transport display. This can be done in the TMS configuration or by using transaction STMS to manage transport routes and settings.
    4. Consult Basis Team:

      • If the issue persists, consult your SAP Basis team. They can provide insights into system-wide settings and help troubleshoot any underlying issues with the transport management system.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SE09 / SE10: Transport Organizer
      • SU01: User Maintenance
      • STMS: Transport Management System
    • Authorization Objects:
      • S_TRANSPRT: Authorization for transport management
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to transport errors or user authorizations.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the TO164 error and implement a solution to resolve it.
