• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SOMO/MAMSG105 - Job &1 started at &2 outside of time window (&3 - &4). ?

  The SAP error message /SOMO/MAMSG105 Job &1 started at &2 outside of time window (&3 - &4) indicates that a scheduled job (identified by &1) was initiated at a time (&2) that falls outside the defined time window (&3 - &4). This typically occurs in the context of job scheduling within SAP, particularly when using the SAP Solution Manager or similar job scheduling tools.
  Cause:
  
  Time Window Configuration: The job has a defined time window during which it is allowed to run. If the job starts outside of this window, the system generates this error.
  Job Scheduling Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the job scheduling settings, such as incorrect time settings or overlapping jobs.
  System Time Settings: The system time on the SAP server may not be synchronized correctly, leading to discrepancies in job execution times.
  Manual Triggering: If the job is manually triggered outside the allowed time window, this error will occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Job Scheduling Settings:
  
  Review the job scheduling settings in transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring) or SM36 (Define Background Job) to ensure that the time window is correctly defined.
  Adjust the time window to include the time at which the job is being triggered.
  
  
  
  Modify Job Execution Time:
  
  If the job needs to run at a specific time, consider modifying the job's schedule to align with the desired execution time.
  
  
  
  Synchronize System Time:
  
  Ensure that the system time on the SAP server is correctly synchronized with a reliable time source. This can be done using NTP (Network Time Protocol) or similar methods.
  
  
  
  Review Job Dependencies:
  
  Check if there are any dependencies or conditions that might be affecting the job's execution time. Ensure that all prerequisites are met before the job is scheduled to run.
  
  
  
  Manual Execution:
  
  If the job needs to be executed immediately and is outside the time window, you can manually execute the job from transaction SM37 or SM36, but be aware that this may not be advisable if it violates business rules.
