SAP Note 19579 - Transaction OSS1: TDW F08 HOST

Symptom:

Transaction OSS1 terminates with error message: TDW F08 HOST and SERVICE rxpected. Only one command line parameter found:
#/H/......./S/sapdp99/H/......../S/sapdp99/H/oss001/S/sapdp01#

Cause and prerequisites

Incorrect SAPGUI version on the frontend

Solution
To use transaction OSS1, the SAPGUI must be version 2.1J/2.2D or later. The SAPGUI version 2.1J/2.2D can be obtained via FTP from the sapserv3 server in Walldorf. Directory: dist/permanent/21J.
The SAPGUI for Windows supports this transaction from Rel. 2.1J/2.2D in the WinSocket version executable with all network products that are officially supported by SAP.
The two SAPGUI versions shipped for Novell Lan Workplace (older than Rel. 4.1) or Microsoft LanManager (older than Rel. 2.2) do not support the OSS1 function.
