• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR606 - First delete all change lists using Perforce ?

  The SAP error message TR606, which states "First delete all change lists using Perforce," typically occurs in the context of SAP Transport Management System (TMS) when there are pending change lists in the version control system (Perforce) that need to be addressed before proceeding with a transport operation.
  Cause:
  
  Pending Change Lists: The error indicates that there are change lists in Perforce that have not been deleted or processed. These change lists may contain modifications that are preventing the transport from being completed.
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request may be trying to perform an operation that is not allowed until all associated change lists are cleared.
  Version Control Conflicts: There may be conflicts or issues with the version control system that need to be resolved before proceeding.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TR606 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Change Lists:
  
  Use the Perforce client (P4V or command line) to check for any pending change lists associated with the SAP transport request.
  You can use the command p4 changes -s pending to list all pending changes.
  
  
  
  Delete Change Lists:
  
  If you determine that the change lists are no longer needed, you can delete them. In P4V, right-click on the change list and select "Delete." Alternatively, you can use the command line:
  p4 change -d <change_list_number>
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to delete change lists.
  
  
  
  Resolve Conflicts:
  
  If there are conflicts or issues with the change lists, resolve them as necessary. This may involve merging changes or addressing any discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Retry the Transport:
  
  After deleting the change lists, retry the transport operation in SAP. The error should no longer occur if all pending change lists have been addressed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Perforce Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the Perforce documentation for managing change lists and understanding version control best practices.
  SAP Transport Management: Review SAP documentation on transport management to understand how transports work and how they interact with version control systems.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions in both SAP and Perforce to perform the necessary actions.
