WS_MASS003: Monitoring period has expired
Cause:
This error occurs in SAP systems when the monitoring period for a particular process or job has expired.

In other words, the system has a predefined monitoring period (time frame) during which it expects certain jobs or processes to run or be monitored. If the current time is beyond this period, the system refuses to proceed and throws the
