• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR478 - Test import of request & to & started ?

  The SAP error message TR478 indicates that a test import of a transport request has been initiated. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message that indicates the status of the transport request during the test import process.
  Cause:
  The message TR478 is generated when a test import of a transport request is started. This typically occurs in the following scenarios:
  
  A user or administrator has initiated a test import of a transport request in the SAP system.
  The system is checking the transport request for potential issues before performing the actual import.
  
  Solution:
  Since TR478 is an informational message, there is no direct "solution" to resolve an error. However, you can take the following steps to manage the situation:
  
  
  Monitor the Test Import Process: 
  
  Check the transport logs to see if the test import completes successfully or if there are any warnings or errors that need to be addressed.
  
  
  
  Review the Transport Request:
  
  If the test import fails or has issues, review the transport request for any inconsistencies or dependencies that may need to be resolved.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependent objects and transport requests are available and correctly imported in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  If you encounter specific issues during the test import, consult relevant SAP Notes for guidance on resolving those issues.
  
  
  
  Perform Actual Import:
  
  If the test import is successful and no issues are found, you can proceed with the actual import of the transport request.
