How To Fix RSPC194 - Process &1 &2 is also in streaming chain &3

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSPC - Process Chains

• Message number: 194

• Message text: Process &1 &2 is also in streaming chain &3

What causes this issue?

A process must be run in one streaming process chain only. If it is
executed in parallel in two chains, queueing does not work, and the
process will probably fail.

System Response

Since chain &V4& is not a streaming chain, this is only a warning so
that you do not start the standard chain while streaming is active.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that you do not run both chains at the same time

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPC194 - Process &1 &2 is also in streaming chain &3 ?

  The SAP error message RSPC194 indicates that a process (specifically a process chain) is currently being executed in a streaming chain, which prevents it from being executed again or modified. This situation typically arises in the context of process chains in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BW/4HANA.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You attempt to start or modify a process chain that is already running as part of a streaming chain.
  The process chain is locked because it is currently being executed, and SAP does not allow concurrent executions of the same process chain to ensure data integrity and consistency.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSPC194 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Running Processes:
  
  Use transaction code RSPC to access the Process Chain Monitor.
  Look for the specific process chain mentioned in the error message. Check if it is currently running.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If the process chain is running, you may need to wait until it completes. Once it finishes, you should be able to start or modify the process chain without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Terminate the Process (if necessary):
  
  If the process is stuck or taking too long, you may consider terminating it. This can be done in the Process Chain Monitor by selecting the running process and choosing the option to cancel it. Be cautious with this approach, as it may lead to data inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Review Streaming Chain Configuration:
  
  If you frequently encounter this issue, review the configuration of your streaming chains. Ensure that the design of your process chains and streaming chains does not lead to conflicts.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no other dependencies or processes that might be causing the process chain to be locked.

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or solutions for specific scenarios related to this error.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on process chains and streaming chains to understand their behavior and best practices for managing them.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSPC194 error and manage your process chains effectively.
