  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message JOBREPO043 - Scope entries are deleted due to obsolete job definition &1. ?

    The SAP error message JOBREPO043 indicates that scope entries in the job repository have been deleted because they are associated with an obsolete job definition. This typically occurs in the context of job scheduling and management within SAP systems, particularly when using the Job Management functionality.

    Cause:

    1. Obsolete Job Definition: The job definition referenced in the error message has been marked as obsolete or has been deleted. This can happen if the job was removed or if the job definition was modified in a way that invalidates existing scope entries.
    2. Job Repository Cleanup: SAP periodically cleans up the job repository to remove entries that are no longer valid or relevant, which can lead to this error if there are still references to those obsolete definitions.

    Solution:

    1. Check Job Definitions: Review the job definitions in the system to identify which job is marked as obsolete. You can do this by navigating to the job management area in SAP (Transaction SM37 or similar).
    2. Update or Delete References: If you find that there are still active jobs or references to the obsolete job definition, you may need to update those jobs to point to a valid job definition or delete them if they are no longer needed.
    3. Recreate Job Definitions: If the job definition is still required, consider recreating it with the same parameters or settings to ensure that the scope entries can be validly referenced.
    4. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to job management and repository cleanup for any specific guidelines or best practices that may apply to your situation.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SM37 (Job Monitoring), SM36 (Define Job), and SM21 (System Log) to help diagnose and manage jobs.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context or solutions.
    • Job Management Best Practices: Implement best practices for job management, including regular reviews of job definitions and their statuses, to prevent similar issues in the future.

    If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
