Resetting Update Statuses 

Use

From time to time, an update that was set to Error is not completed successfully when it is reprocessed. In other words, the update is always active (status on a green background, for example, started) and is neither fully processed nor prematurely terminated. (This problem only occurs when updates are repeated manually or when an update server is restarted, if updates that have not been processed (status = auto) are being processed automatically.) Further details can be found in the section entitled Most Important Update Statuses.)

Under normal circumstances, the problem is only a temporary one (in both cases). Use transactions SM51 and SM50 to check whether the update was really not processed. If it was not processed, reset it, and try to process it again (see also Processing Updates Manually).

To reset the status of an update record, select the required update requests, and then choose Update requests ® Reset status.

The selected update records are reset to the status init and have to be processed manually.
