• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ065 - Job &1 &2 already running ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ065 Job &1 &2 already running
  
  Cause:
  This warning message occurs when you try to start a background job that is already running. The system detects that the job with the specified name (&1) and job number (&2) is currently active and has not yet finished execution.
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP background jobs are scheduled tasks that run asynchronously.
  If you attempt to start or schedule a job that is already running, SAP prevents duplicate execution to avoid conflicts or resource contention.
  The message WZ065 is a safeguard to inform you that the job is still in progress.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Job Status:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring).
  Enter the job name and user, and check the status of the job.
  Confirm if the job is indeed running or stuck.
  
  
  
  Wait for Completion:
  
  If the job is running normally, wait until it finishes before starting it again.
  
  
  
  Cancel or Delete Job (if necessary):
  
  If the job is stuck or running longer than expected, you may need to cancel or delete it.
  In SM37, select the job and choose Job > Cancel Job or Job > Delete Job.
  
  
  
  Check for Job Overlaps:
  
  Review the job scheduling to avoid overlapping runs.
  Adjust the scheduling frequency or start time to prevent simultaneous executions.
  
  
  
  Investigate Job Logs:
  
  Check the job logs for errors or issues causing the job to hang.
  Use transaction SM37 > select job > Job Log.
  
  
  
  Technical Checks:
  
  If the job is a custom program, check the code for proper termination and resource release.
  Ensure no locks or database issues are causing the job to hang.
