  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PN860 - All jobs successfully completed. Output started ?

    The SAP error message "PN860 All jobs successfully completed. Output started" is not actually an error message in the traditional sense; rather, it is an informational message indicating that all jobs in a particular process have completed successfully and that the output has begun.

    Cause:

    This message typically occurs in the context of background job processing in SAP. It indicates that the jobs scheduled to run have finished executing without any errors, and the system is now in the process of generating or sending the output (such as reports, data exports, etc.) that was requested as part of those jobs.

    Solution:

    Since this message is informational and not indicative of a problem, there is no specific "solution" required. However, if you are expecting further actions or outputs and they do not appear, you may want to:

    1. Check Output: Verify that the output is being generated as expected. This could involve checking spool requests or output logs.
    2. Monitor Job Logs: Review the job logs for any additional information or details about the job execution.
    3. Check Spool Requests: If the output is not visible, check the spool requests (transaction code SP01) to see if the output has been generated and is available for viewing or printing.
    4. Review Job Scheduling: Ensure that the jobs are scheduled correctly and that there are no dependencies that might affect the output.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SM37 to monitor background jobs and SP01 to check spool requests.
    • Job Scheduling: Understanding how to schedule and manage background jobs in SAP can help in troubleshooting and ensuring that outputs are generated as expected.
    • Output Management: Familiarize yourself with SAP's output management features, which can include configuring output types, destinations, and formats.

    If you encounter any issues beyond this message, such as missing outputs or errors in the job logs, further investigation may be necessary to identify the root cause.
