MAIN IMPORT
SPAM\SAINT – Action Log
Log file: DIR_TRANS\log\ SAPI*
For more information about the logs to be checked during the SPAM\SAINT import of the packages please
refer the KBA
1846111 - Logs that need to be checked while importing a package using SPAM/SAINT
Common Known Issues :
1. When the main import of the packages is running in SPAM the logs will be updating in the
DIR_TRANS\tmp which indicates the import is running. When the logs are not getting updated in the
DIR_TRANS\tmp then the import is in hanging status.The cause for this on-hold behaviour is the
presence of SLOG<>SID.LOC file in DIR_TRANS/tmp. This file contains the pid of the previous tp
and R3trans processes which no longer runs after the initial termination. However the LOC file
remains in the tmp directory.Subsequent repeat of the phase does not progress because the system
detects the presence of the existing LOC file and hence assumes that the import is running and
awaits the response from non existant tp and R3trans processes.To fix the issue the following needs
to be performed:
a. Kill any left over tp and R3trans processes.
b. Check there is no entry in TRBAT and TRJOB tables.
c. Backup and remove the semaphore file and the SLOG<>SID.LOC files from the
DIR_TRANS/tmp directory.
d. Continue the Import from SPAM/SAINT
2. The main import terminates with the following error in SAPI*.log and the issue can be fixed by
updating the tp & R3trans to the latest version available in the SAP Service Marketplace.
The SLOG in the DIR_TRANS/log shows the below error:
