• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSJOB079 - Scheduling multiple jobs is not supported ?

  The SAP error message RSJOB079 indicates that there is an attempt to schedule multiple jobs simultaneously, which is not supported in the context of the job scheduling framework in SAP. This error typically arises when a user tries to schedule multiple instances of the same job or when there are conflicting job scheduling requests.
  Cause:
  
  Multiple Instances: The job you are trying to schedule is already running or has been scheduled to run, and the system does not allow multiple instances of the same job to run concurrently.
  Job Variants: If you are using job variants, there may be a conflict with the parameters or settings that prevent the job from being scheduled multiple times.
  Job Dependencies: There may be dependencies or conditions set on the job that restrict it from being scheduled again until the previous instance has completed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Job Status: Use transaction code SM37 to check the status of the job. If the job is already running or has failed, you may need to wait for it to complete or resolve any issues before scheduling it again.
  Modify Scheduling: If you need to run the job with different parameters, consider creating a new job variant or modifying the existing job to allow for different instances.
  Job Management: Ensure that the job is not scheduled to run at overlapping times. Adjust the scheduling times to avoid conflicts.
  Review Job Dependencies: Check if there are any dependencies or conditions that need to be met before the job can be scheduled again.
  Use Job Chains: If you need to run multiple jobs in a sequence, consider using job chains or job scheduling tools that allow for better management of job dependencies and execution order.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SM37 (Job Monitoring), SM36 (Job Scheduling), and SM21 (System Log) for monitoring and managing jobs.
