  The SAP error message BA051, which states "New archiving job was scheduled," typically indicates that an archiving job has been successfully scheduled in the background. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the system has accepted the request to archive data.
  Cause:
  
  The message BA051 is generated when a user initiates an archiving process, and the system schedules the job to run in the background. This can occur when:

  This can provide insights into whether the archiving was successful or if there were issues that need to be addressed.
  
  
  
  Verify Archiving Object:
  
  Ensure that the archiving object you are working with is correctly configured and that the necessary prerequisites for archiving are met.
