• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_CTC213 - Predecessor task &1 not found/executed in task list ?

  The SAP error message RSO_CTC213 indicates that a predecessor task in a task list is not found or has not been executed. This error typically occurs in the context of process chains in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA when a task that is supposed to be executed before another task is either missing or has not been completed successfully.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Predecessor Task: The predecessor task that is required for the current task to execute is not defined in the task list.
  Execution Failure: The predecessor task was defined but did not execute successfully, leading to the current task being unable to proceed.
  Incorrect Task Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the task list, such as incorrect dependencies or missing links between tasks.
  Task Deletion: The predecessor task may have been deleted or modified after the task list was created.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Task List Configuration:
  
  Open the process chain in the SAP BW process chain maintenance transaction (e.g., RSPC).
  Verify that the predecessor task is correctly defined and exists in the task list.
  
  
  
  Review Execution Logs:
  
  Check the execution logs of the predecessor task to see if it was executed successfully. You can do this by navigating to the process chain execution logs.
  If the predecessor task failed, investigate the cause of the failure and resolve any issues.
  
  
  
  Re-execute the Predecessor Task:
  
  If the predecessor task was not executed, manually execute it to ensure it completes successfully before running the current task.
  
  
  
  Adjust Task Dependencies:
  
  If the predecessor task is missing or incorrectly configured, you may need to adjust the task dependencies in the process chain to ensure that all required tasks are linked correctly.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Task:
  
  If the predecessor task has been deleted or is no longer valid, you may need to recreate it or add a new task that fulfills the same role.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to process chains and task dependencies for additional guidance.
