  A spool request associated with a background job has been completed and closed, meaning that the output of the job is no longer available for processing.

  Check Job Logs:
  
  Review the job logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the spool request was closed. This can provide insights into whether there were issues during the job execution.
