• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message D-012 - Job not yet ended ?

  The SAP error message D-012 ("Job not yet ended") typically occurs when you are trying to perform an action on a background job that has not yet completed. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you attempt to view the results of a job that is still running or when you try to delete or manage a job that is in progress.
  Cause:
  
  Job Still Running: The most common cause is that the job you are trying to interact with is still in the process of execution.
  Job Status: The job may be in a status that does not allow for the action you are trying to perform (e.g., it is still in the queue or actively processing).
  System Delays: Sometimes, there may be delays in the job processing due to system load or resource availability.
  
  Solution:
  
  Wait for Completion: The simplest solution is to wait for the job to complete. You can monitor the job status in transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to see if it has finished.
  Check Job Status: Use transaction SM37 to check the status of the job. Look for the job in the list and see if it is still running or if it has completed successfully or with errors.
  Refresh the Job List: If you are monitoring the job, refresh the job list in SM37 to see if the job has completed.
  Cancel the Job: If the job is taking too long and you need to stop it, you can cancel it from SM37 if you have the necessary authorizations.
  Review Job Logs: If the job has completed but you are still facing issues, check the job logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the job did not complete as expected.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring), SM36 (Define Background Job), and SM21 (System Log) for monitoring and managing background jobs.
  Job Scheduling: Ensure that jobs are scheduled appropriately and that there are no resource constraints that could affect job execution.
  System Performance: Monitor system performance and resource usage to ensure that background jobs can run efficiently without delays.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team or refer to SAP support for further assistance.
