• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBATCH064 - Process type '&' not found; selection ignored ?

  The SAP error message RSBATCH064 indicates that the system is unable to find a specified process type in the background processing configuration. This typically occurs when you are trying to schedule a background job that references a process type that does not exist or is not properly defined in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Process Type: The specified process type (indicated by the '&' in the error message) is not defined in the system.
  Incorrect Job Configuration: The job configuration may reference a process type that has been deleted or renamed.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the process type.
  Transport Issues: If the process type was recently transported from another system, it may not have been properly imported.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Process Type Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) and check the job details to see which process type is being referenced.
  Use transaction SM63 (Process Types) to verify if the process type exists. If it does not, you may need to create it or correct the job configuration.
  
  
  
  Correct Job Definition:
  
  If the job is referencing an incorrect or outdated process type, update the job definition to use a valid process type.
  You can do this by editing the job in transaction SM36 (Define Background Job).
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user scheduling the job has the necessary authorizations to access the process type. This can be checked in transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the process type was recently transported, ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included. You may need to re-import the transport request.
