Summary :
This SAP Note addresses an error that occurs during transport import in SAP systems using tp and STMS, specifically when trying to locate Transport Authority (TA)-info in cofile with illegal format. The issue affects systems running under enhanced transport control (CTC=1) from releases 4.5A and 4.5B, where the target group is defined as a logical target system. It is identified as a programming error. The recommended resolution is to update tp to version 270.00.10 available on sapservX, compatible with both 4.5A and 4.5B systems. Reference to related SAP Notes 149682 and 19466 is provided to support kernel updates and tp version clarifications.
