  The SAP error message RSJOB086 indicates that a background job has finished processing. The message typically includes the job name and the job type, which are represented by placeholders &1 and &2, respectively. This message is not necessarily an error; rather, it is an informational message indicating the completion of a job.
  Cause:
  
  The job has completed its execution, which could be due to successful processing or an error during execution.
  The job may have finished because it reached its end, either successfully or with errors.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Job Status: 
  
  Go to transaction code SM37 (Job Monitoring) to check the status of the job. You can filter by job name, user, and date to find the specific job.
  Look for the job's status (e.g., finished, canceled, or terminated) and review the job log for any errors or warnings.
  
  
  
  Review Job Log:
  
  In the job details, check the job log for any messages that indicate whether the job completed successfully or if there were any issues during execution.
  If there are errors, they will typically provide more context on what went wrong.
  
  
  
  Analyze Output:
  
  If the job generates output (e.g., reports, data processing), review the output to ensure it meets expectations.
  If the output is not as expected, investigate the job parameters and the data being processed.
  
  
  
  Re-run Job if Necessary:
  
  If the job did not complete successfully and you have resolved any underlying issues, you may need to re-run the job.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the job's purpose or the expected output, consult the relevant documentation or reach out to the job owner or your SAP Basis team for clarification.
