• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TPDA_ADT003 - Invalid Request Data: active/inactive source mismatch ?

  The SAP error message TPDA_ADT003: Invalid Request Data: active/inactive source mismatch typically occurs in the context of transport requests in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with the Transport Management System (TMS). This error indicates that there is a mismatch between the active and inactive sources of a transport request, which can lead to issues when trying to import or export transport requests.
  Cause:
  
  
  Active/Inactive Source Mismatch: This error usually arises when the system is trying to process a transport request that has components (like objects or changes) that are not in sync between the source and target systems. For example, if a transport request is trying to import changes that are not present in the target system or if the objects have been modified in the target system after the transport request was created.
  
  
  Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer configuration, such as incorrect settings or missing entries that can lead to this mismatch.
  
  
  Transport Request Status: The transport request might be in an inconsistent state, such as being partially released or having components that are not properly defined.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transport Request: Review the transport request in question. Ensure that all objects included in the transport request are correctly defined and that their statuses are consistent between the source and target systems.
  
  
  Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the transport request. You can use transaction code SE01 to check the status of the transport request and see if there are any inconsistencies.
  
  
  Recreate Transport Request: If the transport request is found to be corrupted or inconsistent, consider recreating the transport request. This may involve re-adding the necessary objects and ensuring that they are correctly configured.
  
  
  Transport Layer Configuration: Verify the transport layer configuration in TMS. Ensure that the transport routes and layers are correctly set up and that there are no missing entries.
  
  
  Check for Active Changes: Ensure that there are no active changes in the target system that conflict with the changes being transported. If necessary, adjust the changes in the target system to align with the transport request.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that can resolve underlying issues.
