• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR067 - Extended transport control is not active: Cannot specify target client ?

  The SAP error message TR067, which states "Extended transport control is not active: Cannot specify target client," typically occurs in the context of transport management in SAP systems. This error indicates that the system is unable to process a transport request because the extended transport control feature is not enabled.
  Cause:
  
  
  Extended Transport Control Not Active: The primary cause of this error is that the extended transport control feature is not activated in the transport management system (TMS) configuration. This feature allows for more granular control over transport requests, including the ability to specify target clients.
  
  
  Transport Request Configuration: The transport request may have been configured in a way that requires extended transport control, but the system settings do not support it.
  
  
  System Configuration Issues: There may be inconsistencies or misconfigurations in the transport landscape or TMS settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TR067 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Activate Extended Transport Control:
  
  Go to the TMS configuration (transaction code STMS).
  Navigate to the Transport Routes and ensure that the extended transport control is activated.
  You may need to check the settings in the transport domain controller and ensure that the option for extended transport control is enabled.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request Settings:
  
  Review the transport request that is causing the error. Ensure that it is not incorrectly configured to require extended transport control if it is not needed.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to this error. You can search for notes in the SAP Support Portal.
  
  
  
  System Administrator Involvement:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change TMS settings, contact your SAP Basis administrator or system administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transport request again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): TMS is a tool in SAP that manages the transport of objects between different SAP systems (e.g., development, quality assurance, production).
  Transport Requests: These are used to bundle changes made in the development environment for transport to other systems.
  Client-Specific Transport: In some cases, you may need to transport client-specific data, which requires the extended transport control feature.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support for more complex scenarios.
