Summary :
SAP Note addresses issues with the 'tp' command. Specifically, `tp check all verbose` reports excessive identical error messages due to incorrect format in the 'sapnames' subdirectory files, while `tp clearold all` fails to delete sufficient or any files from the 'cofiles' directory and corresponding sapnames entries post deletion from Release 4.5A and 4.0A respectively. The cause is identified as a coding error in 'tp'. The resolution involves updating 'tp' using a newer version from sapservX, with patches available for specific kernel releases. Implementations and troubleshooting details for kernel versions and 'tp' versions are provided in the note.
