• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LSO899 - No maintenance of SAP Jam settings for time-independent course type ?

  The SAP error message LSO899, which states "No maintenance of SAP Jam settings for time-independent course type," typically occurs in the context of SAP Learning Solution (LSO) when there is an attempt to configure or manage settings related to SAP Jam for a course type that is defined as time-independent.
  Cause:
  The error arises because SAP Jam settings are not applicable or cannot be maintained for time-independent course types.

  Use Time-Dependent Course Types: If you need to utilize SAP Jam features, consider using a time-dependent course type instead. This will allow you to maintain the necessary settings for collaboration and social learning features.
  
  
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP Help documentation or the SAP Learning Solution configuration guide for more details on the limitations and capabilities of time-independent course types in relation to SAP Jam.
