How To Fix XT470 - Transport profile TPPARAM contains entries for system &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: XT - Transport Management System

• Message number: 470

• Message text: Transport profile TPPARAM contains entries for system &1

What causes this issue?

When the transport control program was being configured for the system
<LS>&V1&</> it was discovered that this system is already entered in
the transport profile <LS>TPPARAM</>.

System Response

The entries in the transport profile TPPARAM for the system &V1& are
not copied automatically into the new configuration. The transport
control program uses the new configuration immediately for all calls
from the SAP System. It ignores the settings in the profile TPPARAM.

How to fix this error?

If you have already made exports or imports for the system &V1& before
setting up the Transport Management System, then it makes sense to copy
the settings from the profile TPPARAM to the new configuration. For
instructions on copying the settings from the profile TPPARAM for the
system &V1&, see the SAP Library under <LS>BC - Basis Components</> ->
<LS>Change and Transport System</> -> <LS>BC - Transport Management
System</> -> <LS>Configuring TMS</> -> <LS>Configuring the Transport
Domain</> -> <LS>Maintaining and Monitoring the Transport Domain</> ->
<LS>Changing the Configuration of an SAP System</> -> <LS>Changing the
Transport Control Program Parameters</> -> <LS>Copying Parameters from
TPPARAM</>.
To avoid inconsistencies, you must - after you have copied the settings
from the profile TPPARAM, if necessary - delete all parameters for the
system &V1& from the file TPPARAM. To do this, go to the operating
system level, and use the text editor.
<LS>Background:</> If you also use the transport control program tp at
the operating system level, you have to specify the transport profile
you want the program to use, each time you start it. If several
profiles exist for tp (the old TPPARAM profile, and the new profile
generated by TMS), the result of starting tp can depend on which of the
profiles you have specified. There is more security when a system is
entered in exactly one transport profile.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
