• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BT145 - No job matches the selection criteria ?

  The SAP error message BT145 "No job matches the selection criteria" typically occurs when you are trying to display or manage background jobs in the SAP system, but the selection criteria you have specified do not match any existing jobs. This can happen in transaction codes like SM37 (for monitoring background jobs) or similar.
  Causes:
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The filters you have applied (such as job name, user, status, date range, etc.) do not match any jobs in the system.
  No Jobs Available: There may simply be no background jobs that have been scheduled or executed during the specified time frame.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain jobs, especially if they were created by other users.
  Job Deletion: The jobs you are looking for may have been deleted or completed and removed from the system.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings that limit the visibility of certain jobs.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the filters you are using. Try broadening the criteria (e.g., removing date filters or using wildcards in job names).
  Check Job Status: Ensure that you are looking for jobs in the correct status (e.g., finished, active, canceled).
  Adjust Date Range: If you are searching for jobs within a specific date range, consider expanding that range to include more potential jobs.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view the jobs you are trying to access. You may need to contact your SAP security administrator.
  Use Different User: If you suspect that the jobs were created by another user, try using the user ID of that person in the selection criteria.
  Consult System Logs: If you suspect that jobs are missing or have been deleted, check the system logs or consult with your SAP Basis team for further investigation.
