Hi Gurus,
What does RDDIMPDP job do? Is it supposed to be running in all environments, dev, quality, and production or something else? Please let me know about its proper functioning so that I can proceed accordingly.
RDDIMPDP Job in SAP
RDDIMPDP is a critical background job in SAP responsible for handling transport requests and ensuring updates are imported into the system correctly. It plays a crucial part in preserving system consistency by running programs linked to transport and avoiding import errors.
Function of the RDDIMPDP Job in SAP
- Auto-import of transport requests: The job is triggered automatically when changes are transported into the system.
- Execution of transport-related programs: It runs RDDMASGL & RDDNEWPP to process transport requests in parallel.
- Prevention of import errors: Ensures changes are processed in the correct sequence to avoid inconsistencies.
RDDIMPDP Environments
| Environment | RDDIMPDP Requirement | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Development (DEV) | Not Required | Typically not needed unless testing transport processes. |
| Quality (QA) | Yes | Required for testing transports before moving to production. |
| Production (PROD) | Yes | Essential to ensure smooth transport execution. |
How to Check If RDDIMPDP is Running?
- Execute T-code SM37 (Job Monitoring) in the SAP command field.
- Enter RDDIMPDP as the job name.
- Check the job status:
- Active (Running) → Job is functioning correctly.
- Cancelled (Failed) → Troubleshooting is required.
Restart the RDDIMPDP Job
If the job is missing or canceled, please follow one of the following methods to restart it:
Method 1: Using T-code SE38
- Execute t-code SE38 in the SAP command field.
- Enter the program name: RDDNEWPP.
- Click on the Execute button or press the (F8) key.
- The RDDIMPDP job will automatically restart.
Method 2: Using T-code STMS
- Execute t-code STMS in the SAP command field.
- Next, go to Import Queue (Extras → Other Requests → Check Transport Tool).
- The system should automatically trigger the RDDIMPDP job if it's missing.
Common Issues & Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| RDDIMPDP job is missing | Transport system issues | Run RDDNEWPP in t-code SE38. |
| Job is failing | System performance issues | Check system logs in SM21. |
| Transport requests stuck | Job is not running | Restart the job manually. |
Conclusion
RDDIMPDP is essential for handling transport requests in SAP and should be running in QA and Production, but not necessarily in Development. The job can be monitored using t-code SM37 and restarted using t-code SE38.
Yes..This job is scheduled mostly in quality and on prd system on all clients.If your organisation has less transports you can deschedule this job.This a generally scheduled to run every 1 or 5 mins. This is a transport control job or u can say as a transport dispatcher program. Other terms are event-controlled background job (sapevnt). When you start a import of a change request,your tp triggers this job. For more information http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/3d/ad5c784ebc11d182bf0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm Cheers..
