• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message JOBREPO102 - Default step user has been changed in the current client ?

  The SAP error message JOBREPO102 indicates that the default step user for background jobs has been changed in the current client. This can occur when the user who is set as the default for executing background jobs is no longer valid or has been modified.
  Cause:
  
  User Change: The default step user for background jobs has been altered, possibly due to user management activities such as user deletion, deactivation, or changes in user roles.
  Client-Specific Settings: The error may arise if the settings for the background job execution user are client-specific and have been modified in the current client.
  Authorization Issues: The new default user may not have the necessary authorizations to execute the job.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Default Step User:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) and check the job details to see which user is set as the default step user.
  You can also check the default user settings in transaction SM36 (Define Background Job) under the "Step" section.
  
  
  
  Update Default User:
  
  If the default user is invalid, you can change it back to a valid user who has the necessary authorizations to execute the job.
  In transaction SM36, when defining or modifying a job, ensure that the user specified in the job step is valid.
  
  
  
  User Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user set as the default step user has the required authorizations to execute the job. You can check this in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and review the roles and profiles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Client Settings:
  
  If the issue persists, check if there are any client-specific settings that might be affecting the default step user. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Job:
