    System Response

    A background job for processing all background notes must be explicitly
    scheduled by the SAP System Administrator.

    How to fix this error?

    Schedule the report RDDBATP1 as a background job. This job then
    processes all the background notes which were created using the
    database utilities.
    Procedure:
    Menu 'System' -> 'Utilities' -> 'Jobs' -> 'Job Definition'
    Choose any job name and a computer which is configured for background
    processes. Enter the ABAP report RDDBATP1 unter 'Steps'. If you are
    using SAP Release 2.xx, the job does not need a variant. As of 3.0 and
    higher, you should schedule the report with variant BATCHB. Define the
    starting time of the job with 'Starting date'.
