    the job log. If the program termination is the result of a technical
    problem, fix the problem or get in touch with your SAP support contact.
    As soon as the cause has been rectified, the activation will have to be
    restarted in Transaction SFW5. For this purpose, choose the menu path:
    System Settings -> Activation Restart.
