• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1074 - No event has been specified; no follow-up jobs started ?

  The SAP error message RSM1074 indicates that no event has been specified for a job, which means that the system cannot determine what follow-up jobs should be executed. This typically occurs in the context of background processing or job scheduling in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Event Specification: The job that is supposed to trigger follow-up jobs does not have an event defined. Events are used in SAP to signal that a certain condition has been met, which can then trigger other jobs.
  Job Configuration Issues: The job may not be configured correctly, leading to the absence of necessary parameters or events.
  Job Scheduling Errors: There may be issues with how the job is scheduled or how dependencies are set up between jobs.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Job Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) and find the job that is causing the issue.
  Review the job's configuration to ensure that it has the correct event specified. If it is supposed to trigger follow-up jobs, make sure that the event is defined properly.
  
  
  
  Define Events:
  
  If the job is missing an event, you may need to define one. This can be done in transaction SM62 (Event Management).
  Create or modify the event that should be associated with the job.
  
  
  
  Review Job Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that the job dependencies are correctly set up. If a job is supposed to follow another job, make sure that the preceding job is completed successfully and that the follow-up job is configured to start based on the correct event.
  
  
  
  Check Job Status:
  
  Ensure that the job that is supposed to trigger the follow-up jobs has completed successfully. If it failed, the follow-up jobs will not start.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on job scheduling and event management to ensure that you are following best practices.
