• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BT195 - You can only debug your own jobs ?

  The SAP error message BT195, which states "You can only debug your own jobs," typically occurs when a user attempts to debug a background job that they do not own or have not been authorized to debug. This is a security feature in SAP to prevent unauthorized access to the debugging of jobs that belong to other users.
  Cause:
  
  Ownership of the Job: The user trying to debug the job is not the owner of that job. In SAP, only the user who scheduled the job can debug it.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to debug jobs, even if they are the owner.
  Job Status: The job may not be in a state that allows debugging (e.g., it may not be running or may have already completed).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Ownership: Verify if you are the owner of the job you are trying to debug. You can do this by checking the job details in transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring).
  Request Authorization: If you need to debug a job that is owned by another user, you will need to request the job owner to either debug it themselves or to grant you the necessary authorizations.
  Use the Correct User: If you have multiple user IDs, ensure you are logged in with the correct user ID that owns the job.
  Debugging Settings: Ensure that your user profile has the necessary authorizations for debugging. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to check your roles and authorizations.
  Job Status: Make sure the job is currently running. If it has already completed, you will not be able to debug it.
