  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CONT_TOOLS001 - Job &1 was scheduled for user &2 ?

    The SAP error message CONT_TOOLS001 indicates that a job was scheduled for a specific user. This message typically arises in the context of background job scheduling in SAP, particularly when there are issues related to job ownership or user permissions.

    Cause:

    1. User Permissions: The user who is trying to schedule or manage the job may not have the necessary authorizations to do so.
    2. Job Ownership: The job is scheduled under a different user, and the current user may not have the rights to view or manage jobs scheduled by others.
    3. Job Status: The job may be in a status that does not allow for the current user to interact with it (e.g., it may be completed, canceled, or in a different state).
    4. System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that restrict job management based on user roles.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to manage background jobs. This can be done by reviewing the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
    2. Job Ownership: If the job is owned by another user, consider either:
      • Asking the owner to manage the job.
      • Scheduling a new job under the current user if appropriate.
    3. Job Status Review: Use transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check the status of the job. If the job is completed or canceled, you may need to take different actions based on its status.
    4. Consult with Basis Team: If the issue persists, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team to review system settings or configurations that may be affecting job scheduling and management.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SM37: Job Monitoring - to view and manage background jobs.
      • SM36: Job Scheduling - to create and schedule new background jobs.
