This error is common when using transaction codes like SM36 (Define Background Job) or similar functions where a job name is required.

  Job Monitoring: After scheduling the job, you can monitor its status using transaction codes like SM37 (View Background Jobs) to check if it runs successfully or if there are any issues.
  
  
  Documentation: Always document the purpose and details of the job in your organization's knowledge base or documentation system to help other users understand its function.
