  The SAP error message /SOMO/JOBMON157 indicates that the number of rows read during a job execution is either below a specified threshold or has reached a minimum limit. This message is typically associated with data processing jobs in SAP, particularly in the context of data extraction or batch processing.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Data: The job may not have enough data to process, leading to a situation where the number of rows read is less than the expected minimum.
  Job Configuration: The job might be configured with a minimum threshold that is not being met due to various reasons, such as filters applied in the job or issues with the data source.
  Data Source Issues: There could be issues with the data source, such as connectivity problems, data not being available, or incorrect data selection criteria.
  Job Logic: The logic implemented in the job may not be correctly fetching the required data, leading to fewer rows being read.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Availability: Verify that there is sufficient data in the source system that meets the criteria defined in the job. If the data is missing, you may need to load or generate the required data.
  Review Job Configuration: Examine the job configuration settings to ensure that the minimum row threshold is set appropriately. Adjust the settings if necessary.
  Debug Job Logic: If the job includes custom logic or filters, review the code to ensure it is functioning as intended. Look for any conditions that may be inadvertently filtering out data.
  Monitor Data Source: Check the status of the data source to ensure it is operational and accessible. Look for any connectivity issues or errors in the data extraction process.
  Adjust Minimum Threshold: If the minimum threshold is too high for the current data set, consider adjusting it to a more realistic value based on the expected data volume.
