  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS167 indicates that a processing job has started at a specific time and is associated with a particular time zone. This message is typically informational rather than an error, but it can be part of a larger issue if the processing does not complete as expected.
  Cause:
  
  Job Scheduling: The message is generated when a background job or processing task is initiated. It may be related to data processing in the SAP system, such as data extraction, transformation, or loading (ETL) processes.
  Time Zone Configuration: The message includes a time zone, which may indicate that the job is being processed in a different time zone than expected, potentially leading to confusion about when the job is running.

  Solution:
  
  Monitor Job Status: Check the status of the job in the SAP system using transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to see if it is still running, completed successfully, or failed.
  Review Logs: Look at the job logs for any additional messages or errors that may provide more context about the processing.
  Check Time Zone Settings: Ensure that the time zone settings in the SAP system are configured correctly. This can be done in the user profile settings or system settings.
  Performance Tuning: If the job is taking too long to process, consider optimizing the job or the underlying data processing logic to improve performance.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific module or process you are working with for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
