You can assign additional options to all tp commands. To find out which commands understand which option, use the online help for the tp program. To do this, call tp with the desired command and do not specify any parameters.

These modes are intended for special requirements in which various rules of the Transport Organizer and Transport Management System are ignored. An unconditional mode is represented by a digit between 0 and 9. To use the unconditional mode when calling the tp program, a U is added to the command line and all the required digits are appended to this U .

0	Overtaker:	Import from the buffer without deleting and set unconditional mode 1 in the buffer to allow another import at the correct location.
1	During export:	Ignore the incorrect status of the command file.
	During import:	Ignore that the change request was already imported.
2	During export:	Do not expand the selection with TADIR brackets.
	During import:	Overwrite the originals.
3	During import:	Overwrite system-dependent objects.
6	During import:	Overwrite objects in unconfirmed repairs.
8	During import:	Ignore restrictions based on table classification.
9	During import:	Ignore that the system is locked for this transport type.

An export (at the operating system level) takes place from the export client by default. You can change this default value by explicitly defining the client in the command line of tp . Add either client<client> or client=<client> to the command line.

When requests are released from the SAP System, this client output is automatically filled with the logon client.

As described in Transporting Client-Specific Data, you can configure client-specific transport routes (extended transport control is active). In this situation, additional options are required that describe the handling of clients during import.

Since extended transport control is switched on/off in the transport profile using parameter ctc , the following differentiates between ctc=1 and ctc=0 (ctc = client transport control).

CTC=0 : All requests are imported in the specified client.

CTC=1 : Imports requests that do not yet have a target client in the buffer into the specified clients. From the requests in the buffer that already have a target client, the requests are imported whose target client matches the specified client.

If ctc=1 , the option client is handled like the entry defautlclient and CLIRES with the same client. (Example: client=133 is handled like defaultclient=133 clires=133 ).

The option CLIRES (client restriction) enables you to specify a list of clients divided by commas. This limits the command to a specific number of clients.

If the new transport profile parameter ctc is set, entries in the import buffer may already have specified its target client. If this is not the case, tp rejects the import of this entry, unless you specify for all these entry types the clients in which these requests are to be imported. Use the option DEFAULTCLIENT to make these entries.

By specifying the option pf=<parameter file> , tp uses the explicitly specified file as a transport profile.

You can use this option, for example, if you do not want to call the program from the default directory /usr/sap/trans/bin (UNIX) or \\$(SAPTRANSHOST)\sapmnt\trans\bin (Windows NT) containing the global transport profile.

If you want to change individual parameter values for calling the tp program, forward the new value to tp using the option -D<value assignment> .

The <value assignment> must adhere to the same syntax as a line of the transport profile. For more information, see Transport Profile.
