The message specifically states that the task watcher can only be reset in a certain client, which is typically the client designated for administration or configuration tasks.

  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Correct Client: Check the error message to see which client is specified (denoted by &1). This is the client where you are allowed to reset the task watcher.

  Reset the Task Watcher: Once you are in the correct client, navigate to the appropriate transaction or configuration area where you can reset the task watcher. This is typically done in the SRT_ADMIN transaction.
