• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FW042 - No data found for job ?

  The SAP error message FW042: No data found for job typically occurs when a job that is expected to have data associated with it does not have any records or entries in the system. This can happen in various contexts, such as when querying job logs, job status, or job-related data in transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) or others.
  Causes:
  
  Job Not Executed: The job may not have been executed successfully, or it may not have been scheduled at all.
  Job Completed with No Output: The job may have run but did not produce any output or results, leading to no data being available.
  Job Deleted: The job may have been deleted from the system after execution, which can happen if the retention period for job logs has expired.
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria used to query the job data may be too restrictive or incorrect, leading to no results being found.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view the job data.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Job Status: Use transaction code SM37 to check the status of the job. Ensure that the job was scheduled and executed.
  Review Job Logs: If the job was executed, check the job logs for any errors or messages that might indicate why no data was produced.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Modify the selection criteria in your query to broaden the search parameters (e.g., date range, job name).
  Check Job Deletion Settings: Review the job deletion settings in your system to see if the job logs are being deleted too quickly.
  Verify Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view job data. If not, contact your system administrator for assistance.
  Re-run the Job: If the job did not execute or completed without output, consider re-running the job to see if it produces the expected results.
