SAP Note 532976 - Upgrade phase TOOLIMP* or XCNV_DUMP with source Rel.<= 4.5

Component : Upgrade Tools -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/532976 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
When upgrading SAP systems with source releases at or below 4.5B, stops might occur during TOOLIMP*, XCNV_DUMP, or DUMP_XCNV phases due to misleading error entries in R3trans logs, which are actually trace entries from database interface changes. To resolve, repeat TOOLIMP* phase or update tp patches from SAP Service Marketplace for designated releases (4.5B, 4.0B, 3.1*). For issues in XCNV_DUMP or DUMP_XCNV with source releases <=3.1I, utilize an updated R3trans post-June 30, 2003. Always replace tp or R3trans executables in specified directories before starting upgrades. Use corrected tp versions for regular transports to avoid similar log issues.
