  The SAP error message LMD_PRCSS_FRW_RT_MSG013 indicates that a process cannot be resumed because its current status is not "Error" or "Retry." This message typically occurs in the context of process chains or background jobs in SAP, particularly when dealing with data loading or process management in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Process Status: The process you are trying to resume is in a status that does not allow for resumption. Valid statuses for resuming a process are "Error" (indicating that the process failed) or "Retry" (indicating that the process is set to be retried).
  Process Completion: The process may have completed successfully or may be in a status that does not require resumption.
  Incorrect Handling: The process may have been incorrectly handled or terminated, leading to a status that does not permit resumption.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Process Status: Verify the current status of the process. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., RSPC for process chains) and checking the status of the specific process.
  Error Handling: If the process is in an "Error" state, you can analyze the error logs to understand why it failed. Resolve the underlying issue before attempting to resume.
  Manual Restart: If the process is in a completed state, you may need to manually restart the process or the entire process chain, depending on your requirements.
  Adjust Process Chain: If the process is part of a larger process chain, consider adjusting the chain to handle the failure more gracefully, such as adding error handling steps or notifications.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific guidance on handling process statuses and errors in your version of SAP.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSPC (Process Chain Maintenance) and SM37 (Job Monitoring) to monitor and manage processes.
  Logs and Traces: Use transaction codes like SLG1 (Application Log) to check logs for more detailed error messages that can help diagnose the issue.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide patches related to process management in your SAP environment.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
