• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SXMSF063 - Job ID &1 also used in client &2 ?

  The SAP error message SXMSF063 indicates that a job with the specified Job ID is already being used in the specified client. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) or Process Integration (PI) when there is an attempt to create or schedule a job that conflicts with an existing job.
