 What is TSK files in SAP ?


    These .TSK files are pure text files and contain an entry of SAP installtion entry.
TSK file contains with = T, D, P, I, V

T = Table Structure

D = Data

P = Primary Key

I = Index

V= View

and  entry in tsk file C, I, E.

C = Create
I =  Import
E = Export

 Every entry in the tsk file have status  such as

xeq = waiting
err  = Error
ok   = Completed


   When started for the first time, R3load reads a TSK file completely, closes the file, renames it in a TSK.bck (for example, SAPSDIC.TSK.bck) and opens the TSK file for writing. After each executed action an entry is written with the corresponding status.





   If all actions are processed, or if the unprocessed actions could be written back to the TSK file after an error, the TSK.bck file is deleted. If R3load also finds a TSK.bck file in addition to a TSK file during start-up, it terminates immediately with a corresponding error message, as this either means that an R3load process is running and is processing this request, or that a serious error has already occurred that may not be eliminated during the restart, but requires user intervention. When the error has been eliminated you must merge the TSK file and the TSK.bck file prior to or during the restart of the R3load.
