/TMF/TOM_API021 - Details

• The SAP error message /TMF/TOM_API021 indicates that you are trying to delete a run (likely a task or job) in the SAP system, but the status of that run is not set to "Created." This means that the run is in a different status, which prevents it from being deleted.
  
  Cause:
