• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ059 - Job &1 &2 cannot be closed ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ059 Job &1 &2 cannot be closed
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you attempt to close a job in SAP that cannot be closed due to certain conditions not being met. Typically, this happens because:
  
  The job is still active or scheduled to run.
  The job has unfinished steps or is currently processing.
  There are dependent jobs or processes linked to this job that prevent closure.
  The job status is not in a state that allows closing (e.g., it is still released or ready).
  
  
  Explanation:
  In SAP, a job can only be closed if it is in a final state (finished, canceled, or released but no longer scheduled). If the system detects that the job is still running or has pending steps, it will prevent closure to avoid inconsistencies or data loss.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the issue and successfully close the job, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Job Status:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring).
  Enter the job name (&1) and job number (&2).
  Check the status of the job.
  
  If the job is active or scheduled, wait for it to finish or cancel it if appropriate.
  If the job is released, but not yet started, you may need to delete or cancel it.
  
  
  
  
  
  Cancel or Delete the Job:
  
  If the job is stuck or you want to stop it, select the job and choose Cancel Job.
  After cancellation, try closing the job again.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependent Jobs:
  
  Verify if there are any dependent jobs or chained jobs that need to be completed or canceled first.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction SM37 or SM36:
  
  SM37 to monitor and manage jobs.
  SM36 to schedule or delete jobs.
  
  
  
  Check for System Issues:
  
  Sometimes, jobs may be stuck due to system errors or background processing issues.
  Check system logs (SM21) or background job logs for errors.
  
  
  
  Authorization:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorization to close or cancel jobs.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: WZ (Background Processing)
  This message is a warning, not an error, indicating that the job cannot be closed at this time.
  Closing a job improperly can lead to inconsistent system states or incomplete processing.
  Always verify the job status and dependencies before attempting to close.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Job is still active, scheduled, or has unfinished steps.
  Solution: Check job status in SM37, cancel or wait for job completion, ensure no dependent jobs block closure.
  Related Transactions: SM37 (Job Monitoring), SM36 (Job Scheduling), SM21 (System Log).
  
  
  If you need further assistance, please provide the job name and number, and the current status from SM37.
