What causes this issue?

Parts of this text similar to CRM_MKT_EXTERNAL 078
When scheduling this background job using the Job Wizard, restart
information was found and displayed. The user that scheduled this job
decided to perform the restart suggested by the system. The restart
information was transferred to the background job.
The current job has now compared this restart information with the
restart information from the CRMD_EXT_BP_JOB table and found that the
information that was originally transferred no longer exists in the
table.
A previous background job may already have used this information for a
restart. This occurs when the previous background job was scheduled
periodically, in which case the background job that was run previously
is the first job (job 1). As it starts, it reschedules itself according
to the repetition cycles. Then, it finds restart information and so
restarts once again. The next background job (job 2) starts following
the repetition period. It has the same transfer parameters, which means
it also has the same restart information. However, this information no
longer exists in the table.
This record may also have been changed manually in the table.

How to fix this error?

Use the <DS:TRAN.SM37>job overview</> to check whether the current job
is scheduled periodically. If so, delete previously scheduled repeating
jobs; otherwise, this error will keep occurring.
Then, use the Job Wizard to schedule a new import run.
