  Cause:
  
  
  Sequence State: The sequence may have been terminated or is in an invalid state due to various reasons, such as:
  
  An error occurred during the processing of the sequence.
  The sequence was manually stopped or interrupted.
  There was a timeout or failure in the communication with the web service.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the integration flow or the web service might lead to the sequence not being in the expected state.
  
  
  System Issues: There could be underlying system issues, such as resource constraints or connectivity problems, that prevent the sequence from processing correctly.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Restart the Sequence: The immediate solution is to restart the sequence. This can typically be done through the SAP PI/PO monitoring tools:
  
  Go to the Integration Engine or the relevant monitoring tool.
