• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >6158 - Parameters for run &1 &2 have the old version; editing not possible ?

  The SAP error message 6158 indicates that the parameters for a specific run (identified by &1 and &2) are using an old version, which prevents editing. This typically occurs in the context of batch jobs or processes that have been defined in the system but are no longer editable due to versioning issues.
  Cause:
  
  Versioning: The parameters for the job or process you are trying to edit are based on an older version of the job definition. SAP maintains different versions of job definitions, and if you are trying to edit a job that has been updated or changed, the system will prevent you from making changes to the old version.
  Job Status: The job might be in a status that does not allow editing, such as being scheduled or already executed.
  Transport Issues: If the job definition was transported from one system to another, there might be inconsistencies in the versions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Version: Verify the version of the job you are trying to edit. You can do this by checking the job definition in the relevant transaction (e.g., SM37 for job monitoring).
  Create a New Version: If you need to make changes, consider creating a new version of the job or process. This can often be done by copying the existing job and then making the necessary changes.
  Delete Old Version: If the old version is no longer needed, you may delete it (if permissible) and then create a new job definition.
  Check Job Status: Ensure that the job is not currently running or scheduled. If it is, you may need to wait until it completes or cancel it before making changes.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to job management and versioning for any specific instructions or best practices.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 (Job Monitoring), SM36 (Define Background Job), and SM21 (System Log) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to edit job definitions in the system.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
