  • What causes this issue?

    No job log could be found for the selected background job. If the
    background job has the status 'terminated', this message indicates
    problems starting the background job.

    System Response

    The problems which occur when starting a background job (for example,
    the log cannot be created because of a capacity bottleneck), are
    recorded in the system log.

    How to fix this error?

    For more precise analysis of the absence of a job log, check the system
    log of the application server, which ran the background job. Messages
    from background work processes are of particular interest here. These
    messages indicate when a job started and any problems that occurred
    during the start.
