  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPC136 - Instance &1 reported to chain synchronously with Hold = '&2', status '&3' ?

    The SAP error message RSPC136 typically relates to issues with process chains in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This message indicates that a specific instance of a process chain has been reported with a certain hold status, which can affect the execution of the process chain.

    Cause:

    The error message RSPC136 can occur due to several reasons:

    1. Process Chain Configuration: The process chain may be configured to hold or wait for certain conditions before proceeding. This can be intentional based on the design of the process chain.
    2. Dependencies: There may be dependencies on other process chains or processes that have not yet completed, causing the current instance to be held.
    3. Manual Intervention: A user may have manually set the process chain to hold, either for troubleshooting or for scheduling reasons.
    4. System Issues: There could be underlying system issues, such as performance problems or resource constraints, that are causing the process chain to not execute as expected.

    Solution:

    To resolve the RSPC136 error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check Process Chain Status: Go to the process chain in transaction code RSPC and check the status of the process chain instance. Look for any dependencies or other processes that may be causing the hold.

    2. Review Logs: Check the logs for the process chain to identify any specific errors or warnings that may provide more context on why the instance is held.

    3. Release the Hold: If the hold is intentional and you have verified that it is safe to proceed, you can manually release the hold. This can typically be done in the process chain monitor (RSPC) by selecting the instance and choosing the option to release or continue.

    4. Check Dependencies: If the hold is due to dependencies, ensure that all prerequisite processes or chains have completed successfully. You may need to manually trigger or check the status of these dependencies.

    5. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to process chains and the specific error message for any additional insights or recommendations.

    6. System Performance: If the issue is related to system performance, consider checking system resources, background jobs, and overall system health to ensure that there are no bottlenecks affecting the execution of the process chain.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSPC (Process Chain Monitor) and RSPC1 (Process Chain Maintenance).
    • SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to RSPC136 for any specific patches or updates that may address known issues.
    • Process Chain Design: Understanding the design and flow of your process chains can help in troubleshooting and optimizing their performance.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or BW team for further investigation.
