Problem Overview

RFC communications error with system/destination

TMSADM@NPL.DOMAIN_NPL

RFC destination TMSADM@NPL.DOMAIN_NPL does not exist.

Help says the following:

RFC communications error with system/destination TMSADM@NPL.DOMAIN_NPL

Message no. XT101

Diagnosis

An RFC error occurred in the TMS communications layer.

Target system: NPL.DOMAIN_NPL(001)

Function: TMS_TP_SHOW_BUFFER

RFC message: RFC destination TMSADM@NPL.DOMAIN_NPL does not exi

System Response

The function terminates.

Procedure

Correct the error and execute the command again.

Solution

1. Assign Rights to Trans folder

Go to Terminal in your Linux.

(E.g. in ABAP Academy Fully Pre-Installed SAP System NW 7.50, we run on openSUSE linux.)

Run the following command:

ls -l /usr/sap/

If you get the results like on the screenshot above, it means your system does not allow SAP to write into SAP transport folders.

Run the following command to allow SAP to write into these folders:

sudo chmod 777 -R /usr/sap/trans/

2. RFC Setup

Login to 000 Client with SAP* user.

For ABAP Academy Fully Pre-Installed Local SAP System it is as follows:

User: SAP*

Pwd: Appl1ance

Run transaction code STMS –> Overview –> Systems

Extras –> Reset User TMSADM

Choose to Leave Existing Password

Extras –> Generate RFC Destinations

This solves the original error.

Transport control program tp ended with error code 0200

However…

Then if we go back into STMS -> NPL we get another error:

Transport control program tp ended with error code 0200

Errors: ERROR: see tp’s stdout (Standard Out may not be av

This is what help says:

Transport control program tp ended with error code 0200

Message no. XT200

Diagnosis

An error occurred when executing a tp command.

Command: SHOWBUFFER NPL pf=/usr/sap/trans/bin/TP_DOMAIN_NPL

Return code: 0200

Error text: ERROR: see tp’s stdout (Standard Out may not be av

Request:

System Response

The function terminates.

Procedure

Correct the error and execute the command again if necessary.

Solution

If we take a look into the virtual system, it does not contain any files within BIN folder:

To get there you follow these steps:

Click on Other Locations

Click Computer

Then navigate into “usr” folder -> sap -> trans -> bin

We need to create 3 important files in there:

In order to achieve that go to Activities -> Text Editor

As in standard text editor create 3 files with following names:

• DOMAIN.CFG
• TP_DOMAIN_NPL.BAK
• TP_DOMAIN_NPL.PFL

Content for DOMAIN.CFG

Go to STMS -> Import Overview (F5)
