  SAP Error Message:
  WS348 - Run with name & already exists (see long text)
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to create or schedule a background job (also called a "run") with a name that already exists in the system. SAP requires each background job name to be unique within the scope of the user or the system, depending on the context.
