• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPC184 - Process &1 &2 is not a successor ?

  The SAP error message RSPC184 indicates that a specific process (or process chain) is not recognized as a successor to another process in the context of process chains in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This typically occurs when there is an issue with the configuration of the process chain, particularly in the way that processes are linked or sequenced.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Process Chain Configuration: The process you are trying to execute is not properly linked to the preceding process. This can happen if the successor process is not defined correctly in the process chain.
  Missing Dependencies: The process that is supposed to be a successor may not have the necessary prerequisites or dependencies fulfilled.
  Process Type Mismatch: The type of process you are trying to link may not be compatible with the preceding process.
  Inactive or Deleted Processes: The process you are trying to link may have been deleted or is currently inactive.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Process Chain Configuration:
  
  Go to the process chain in question and review the configuration.
  Ensure that the successor process is correctly defined and linked to the preceding process.
  
  
  
  Verify Process Types:
  
  Ensure that the types of processes being linked are compatible. For example, if you are linking a data load process to a data transformation process, ensure that they are designed to work together.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Make sure that all necessary prerequisites for the successor process are met. This includes checking if the preceding process has completed successfully.
  
  
  
  Activate Processes:
  
  If the successor process is inactive, activate it. If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it.
  
  
  
  Review Logs:
  
  Check the process chain logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Test the Process Chain:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the process chain to ensure that it runs without errors.
