  The job log is currently being accessed or locked by another process.
  The job log is linked to a job that is still active or scheduled.

  2. Solution
  To resolve the error WZ069, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check Job Status:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring).
  Verify if the job is still active or scheduled. If yes, wait until it finishes or cancel the job if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Ensure No Locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the job log or related objects.
  If locks exist and are stale, consider deleting them carefully (only if you are sure it is safe).
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to delete job logs.
  The authorization object related to job logs is usually S_BTCH_JOB.
  
  
  
  Delete Job Log via SM37:
  
  In SM37, select the job.
  Choose Job Log.
  Try deleting the log from there.
  
  
  
  Use Program RZDELETE:
  
  This program can be used to delete old job logs.
  Run it with appropriate selection criteria to delete logs safely.
  
  
  
  Database Consistency:
  
  If the problem persists, check for database inconsistencies.
  Run database consistency checks or contact your Basis team.
