• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STC_SC_TASKS087 - Export from previous task '&1' will be used ?

  The SAP error message STC_SC_TASKS087 indicates that the system is using the export data from a previous task in a background job or task chain. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Solution Manager or when executing background jobs in SAP systems.
  Cause:
  The error message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message indicating that the system is reusing the export data from a previous task. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  Task Dependencies: The current task is dependent on the output of a previous task, and the system is using that output to proceed.
  Task Configuration: The task is configured to use the results of a previous task, which may be intentional.
  Execution Order: The tasks are executed in a specific order, and the current task is designed to utilize the results of the previous one.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Task Configuration: Review the configuration of the task chain or background job to ensure that it is set up correctly. Make sure that the dependencies between tasks are defined as intended.
  Review Previous Task Output: Check the output of the previous task to ensure it completed successfully and that the data being reused is valid and appropriate for the current task.
  Monitor Task Execution: Use transaction codes like ST22 (Dump Analysis) or SM37 (Job Monitoring) to monitor the execution of the tasks and identify any issues that may have occurred in the previous task.
  Adjust Task Logic: If the reuse of the previous task's output is not desired, you may need to adjust the logic of the task chain or job to ensure that the current task does not rely on the previous task's output.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as ST22, SM37, SM21 (System Log), and SLG1 (Application Log) for troubleshooting.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to task execution and dependencies.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on task chains and background processing for best practices and configuration guidelines.
  
  If the message is causing issues in your workflow, further investigation into the specific tasks and their configurations may be necessary to resolve any underlying problems.
