• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PYC_CONT143 - started job "&1" with report &2 variant &3 ?

  The SAP error message PYC_CONT143 indicates that a job has been started with a specific report and variant. This message is typically informational rather than an error, and it is often logged in the system when a background job is initiated.
  Cause:
  The message is generated when a background job is scheduled to run a specific report with a defined variant. The parameters in the message represent:
  
  &1: The job name
  &2: The report name
  &3: The variant used for the report
  
  This message is part of the job scheduling process in SAP and is not indicative of a problem unless it is accompanied by an error message.
  Solution:

  Check Job Status: Go to transaction code SM37 to check the status of the job. Look for any error messages or warnings associated with the job execution.
  
  
  Review Job Logs: If the job has completed, review the job log for any errors or issues that occurred during execution. This can provide insights into what went wrong.
  
  
  Validate Report and Variant: Ensure that the report and variant specified are correct and that they are set up properly. Check if the variant has the correct selection criteria and parameters.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user who scheduled the job has the necessary authorizations to execute the report.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the report is a standard SAP report, refer to the SAP documentation for any known issues or specific requirements related to that report.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP Notes for any related issues.
