• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NI122 - A run with the name &1 already exists (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message NI122 indicates that a run with the specified name already exists in the system. This typically occurs in scenarios where a job or process is being executed that requires a unique identifier, and the system detects that the identifier (or name) is already in use.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Job Name: The most common cause is that a job or process with the same name has already been scheduled or executed.
  Incomplete Job Deletion: If a previous job was not properly deleted or completed, it may still exist in the system.
  Concurrent Execution: If multiple users or processes are trying to execute the same job simultaneously, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Existing Jobs: Use transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check for existing jobs with the same name. You can filter by job name and status to see if it is still running, finished, or canceled.
  Delete or Rename: If you find an existing job that is no longer needed, you can delete it. Alternatively, you can rename the new job to avoid the conflict.
  Review Job Scheduling: Ensure that jobs are scheduled appropriately and that there are no overlaps in job names.
  Check for Errors: If the existing job is in an error state, you may need to resolve the underlying issue before you can proceed with a new job.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help texts for more specific guidance related to the job or process you are working with.
