• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ075 - Log of job &1 &2 cannot be read ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WZ075 Log of job &1 &2 cannot be read
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message indicates that the system is unable to read the spool log or job log for the specified background job. The placeholders &1 and &2 represent the job name and job number respectively.
  Common causes include:
  
  The job log or spool request has been deleted or is no longer available.
  The spool request associated with the job log has been deleted or is incomplete.
  Authorization issues preventing the user from accessing the job log.
  The job log has been archived or moved to a different storage.
  Temporary system inconsistencies or spool system errors.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check Job Log Availability:
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring).
  Enter the job name and job number.
  Check if the job log is available by selecting the job and clicking on Job Log.
  If the job log is missing, it might have been deleted or not generated.
  
  
  
  Check Spool Request:
  
  Use transaction SP01 to check if the spool request related to the job exists.
  If the spool request is missing or deleted, the log cannot be read.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorizations to read job logs and spool requests.
  Relevant authorization objects include S_BTCH_JOB (for batch jobs) and S_SPO_DEV (for spool access).
  
  
  
  Check Archiving or Deletion Policies:
  
  Verify if job logs or spool requests are archived or deleted automatically by system jobs or policies.
  If archived, retrieve the logs from the archive system.
  
  
  
  System Consistency:
  
  Check for spool system errors in transaction SP01 or SPAD.
  Restart spool work processes if necessary.
  Check system logs (SM21) for spool or job-related errors.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Job:
  
  If the job log is critical and missing, consider re-running the job to generate a new log.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Message Class: WZ (related to background job and spool processing)
  This message is a warning, not an error, so it does not stop processing but indicates that the log cannot be displayed.
  The job log is important for troubleshooting background job issues, so missing logs can hinder problem analysis.
  Regular housekeeping of spool requests and job logs should be managed carefully to avoid accidental deletion of important logs.
