  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EMMA014 - No job found for selection criteria specified ?

    The SAP error message EMMA014 ("No job found for selection criteria specified") typically occurs when you are trying to retrieve or display jobs in the SAP system, but the selection criteria you have specified do not match any existing jobs. This can happen in various contexts, such as when using transaction codes related to job scheduling or monitoring.

    Causes:

    1. Incorrect Selection Criteria: The parameters you entered (like job name, user, status, date range, etc.) do not match any jobs in the system.
    2. Job Deletion: The job you are trying to find may have been deleted or completed and removed from the job overview.
    3. Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view certain jobs, leading to an empty result set.
    4. Job Status: The job might be in a status that is not included in your selection criteria (e.g., you are looking for active jobs but the job is completed).
    5. Time Frame: The time frame specified might not include the time when the job was scheduled or executed.

    Solutions:

    1. Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the parameters you are using to search for jobs. Ensure that they are correct and broad enough to capture the jobs you are looking for.
    2. Use Wildcards: If you are searching for job names, consider using wildcards (e.g., *) to broaden your search.
    3. Check Job Status: Make sure you are including all relevant job statuses in your search criteria (e.g., scheduled, finished, canceled).
    4. Adjust Date Range: If you are filtering by date, ensure that the date range encompasses the time when the job was scheduled or executed.
    5. Check Authorizations: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to view the jobs you are trying to access. You may need to contact your SAP administrator for assistance.
    6. Consult Job Logs: If you suspect the job was deleted or completed, check the job logs or history to see if it was executed previously.
