  The SAP error message STC_TM084 indicates that a task list has been executed immediately in the background, and it suggests using the "Refresh" option for a UI update. This message is typically related to the SAP Solution Manager or the Task Management functionality within SAP systems.
  Cause:
  
  Immediate Execution: The task list was executed in the background, which means it may not provide real-time feedback or updates in the user interface.
  UI Refresh Requirement: The message indicates that the user interface needs to be refreshed to see the latest status or results of the task list execution.

  Solution:
  
  Refresh the UI: The primary solution is to manually refresh the user interface. This can typically be done by clicking the "Refresh" button in the SAP GUI or using the F5 key.
  Check Background Job Status: You can also check the status of the background job by navigating to transaction code SM37 (Job Monitoring) to see if the task list has completed successfully or if there were any errors.
  Review Logs: If there are issues with the task list execution, review the logs for any error messages or warnings that may provide more context on what went wrong.
  Adjust Task List Execution: If immediate execution is not necessary, consider scheduling the task list to run at a later time, which may provide better visibility and control over the execution process.
