  The SAP error message GT805 ("Job & already scheduled") typically occurs when you attempt to schedule a job that is already scheduled in the system. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you try to schedule a background job with the same name or parameters as an existing job.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Job Name: You are trying to create a job with a name that already exists in the system.
  Job Already Scheduled: The job is already scheduled to run at a specific time or frequency.
