• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message POC_MAIN020 - An active job is already scheduled for 1 or more reports; see long text ?

  The SAP error message POC_MAIN020 indicates that there is already an active job scheduled for one or more reports that you are trying to execute. This typically occurs in the context of background job scheduling in SAP, where the system prevents multiple instances of the same job from running simultaneously to avoid conflicts or resource contention.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Job Scheduling: You may have attempted to schedule a report or job that is already scheduled and currently running or waiting to run.
  Job Overlap: The job you are trying to schedule overlaps with an existing job that has not yet completed.
  System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that restrict the scheduling of multiple instances of the same job.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Jobs: Use transaction code SM37 to check the status of background jobs. Look for jobs that are currently running or scheduled for the same report.
  Wait for Completion: If the job is currently running, you may need to wait for it to complete before scheduling a new instance.
  Delete or Reschedule: If the existing job is stuck or not needed, you can delete it or reschedule it to free up resources.
  Modify Job Scheduling: If you need to run multiple instances of the same job, consider modifying the job scheduling parameters or the job itself to allow for concurrent execution, if your system configuration permits it.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for specific configurations related to job scheduling.
