Definition

This field displays the status of the update request. The status is calculated from the two technical fields VBSTATE and VBRC.

Use

The most important statuses are:

  • init: The update request has been created but has not been fully processed. (This status applies from the moment the dialog work process passes the update request to the update work process up to the COMMIT in the update work process).
  • Error: An error occurred in the init phase, and so the update request has not been processed.
  • Error (no retry): The update request has been cancelled and cannot be processed again.
  • V1 processed: The init phase has been correctly processed and the V2 modules have been forwarded for processing. If there are no V2 modules, this update request is no longer displayed in the overview.
  • V2 processed: The V2 modules have also been correctly processed, but a collective processing run still has to be updated (basically, V3). If there is no collective processing, this update request is no longer displayed in the overview.
  • To Be Deleted: The update request is flagged for deletion.
  • Enqueues Deleted: The SAP locks belonging to this update request have been deleted manually (SM12).
  • Processed: If parameter rdisp/vb_delete_after_execution is set to 2 (automatic deletion is deactivated), an update request that has been correctly processed has the status "processed". If deletion is activated (default setting) the update record no longer appears in the overview.
  • Prepared: The update request is prepared for processing but is waiting for an external transaction monitor that releases processing.
  • Terminated: The external transaction monitor terminated processing. This status may follow the status prepared.
  • Error (ext. commit): The external transaction monitor started the update, but the update request was then terminated by the SAP System. This status may follow the status prepared.
  • auto(sys) and auto(dia): The update record was triggered by the system or manually for subsequent updating.

Additional statuses are described in the SAP Library under: SAP NetWeaver Components -> Application Platform (SAP Web Application Server) -> ABAP Technology -> Client/Server Technology-> SAP Update-> The Update Process -> The Most Important Update Statuses .
