• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TQ110 - the source file is a directory: & in directory & ?

  The SAP error message TQ110 indicates that there is an issue with the source file specified in a transport request. Specifically, the error message states that the source file is a directory rather than a file. This typically occurs when the system expects a specific file (like a transport file) but instead encounters a directory path.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Path: The path specified for the transport file is pointing to a directory instead of a specific file.
  Misconfiguration: There may be a misconfiguration in the transport directory settings or the transport request itself.
  File System Issues: The file system may have been altered, leading to the expected file being moved or deleted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Path: Verify the path specified in the transport request. Ensure that it points to a valid transport file and not a directory.
  Correct the Transport Request: If the transport request is incorrectly configured, you may need to recreate it or modify it to point to the correct file.
  Review Transport Directory Settings: Check the transport directory settings in the SAP system to ensure they are correctly configured. This can usually be done in transaction STMS (Transport Management System).
  File Existence: Ensure that the expected transport file exists in the specified directory. If it does not, you may need to recreate the transport or restore it from a backup.
  Permissions: Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the specified file and directory.
