• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VEG_MSG015 - Jobs already started ?

  The SAP error message VEG_MSG015 ("Jobs already started") typically occurs in the context of job scheduling and processing within the SAP system. This error indicates that a job you are trying to start or manage is already in progress or has been initiated, and therefore cannot be started again until the current instance is completed or terminated.
  Causes:
  
  Job Already Running: The most common cause is that the job you are trying to execute is already running in the background.
  Job Scheduling Conflicts: There may be overlapping schedules for the same job, leading to multiple instances trying to run simultaneously.

  Job Dependencies: The job may have dependencies that are not yet fulfilled, causing it to be in a waiting state.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Job Status: Use transaction code SM37 to check the status of the job. Look for any instances of the job that are currently running or have failed.
  Terminate Running Job: If you find that the job is stuck or running longer than expected, you can terminate it from the SM37 transaction. Select the job and choose the option to cancel or delete it.

  Review Job Dependencies: Ensure that all dependencies for the job are met before attempting to start it again.
