  Recreate Jobs: If the jobs were deleted and are still needed, you may need to recreate them. Ensure that the job definitions are correct and that they are scheduled appropriately.
  Check System Settings: Review the system settings related to job management and retention policies to ensure that they align with your organization's requirements.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to view and manage background jobs. If not, work with your SAP security team to adjust permissions.
