• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSMPC201 - Request '&' still has yellow error request '&'; deletion not permitted ?

  The SAP error message RSMPC201 indicates that there is a request in the transport management system (TMS) that is in a "yellow" status, which means it has encountered an error but is not completely failed. This prevents the deletion of the request until the issue is resolved.
  Cause:
  
  Yellow Status: The request is in a yellow status due to errors during the transport process, such as issues with data consistency, missing objects, or other transport-related problems.
  Dependencies: There may be dependencies on other requests or objects that are not yet resolved.
  Incomplete Transport: The request may not have been fully processed or may have been interrupted.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check the Request Status: Use transaction code SE01 or SE09 to check the status of the transport request. Look for any errors or warnings associated with the request.
  Analyze Logs: Review the transport logs for detailed error messages. You can do this by using transaction ST22 for dumps or SLG1 for application logs.
  Resolve Errors: Address any issues that are causing the yellow status. This may involve correcting data inconsistencies, ensuring all required objects are included, or resolving any dependencies.
  Reprocess the Request: After resolving the issues, you can attempt to reprocess the transport request. This can be done using transaction SE09 or SE10 to release the request again.
  Delete the Request: Once the request is successfully processed and no longer in yellow status, you can delete it if necessary.
