Correcting Errors in the DBCHK Phase

Context

The DBCHK phase determines the database version and the release of the SAP system. For this, the Software Update Manager runs the transport control program tp, which logs on to the database and reads the necessary information from there. Usually, problems in this phase are caused by a failed database connection, and the system displays the error message No information received from the database.

Procedure

Check the SLOG<rel> file in directory <SUM directory> abap log.
Usually, problems with tp are caused by a non-initialized Transport Organizer.

Call transaction STMS from the Transport Management System (TMS) to initialize the Change and Transport System.

For more information, see the TMS online documentation.
