Message Text
Deletion not possible; a background job still exists for folder &
Help Document
Diagnosis
Before the batch input folder can be deleted, the system searched for the associated background (batch) jobs. While doing so, it found a job whose status was not yet set to "Complete".
When this folder is deleted, the folder may be deleted in dialog mode or in the background, AND the existing job may still be executed.
This could lead to multiple deletion of the folder, or to inconsistent processing of the folder.
System Response
Folder cannot be deleted.
Procedure
Analyze the relevant background job using transaction SM37:
Job name:
User name:
Planned start date:
Planned start time:
Check whether the job can still be run, and if it can, it does not need to be deleted.
Otherwise delete the job and then try to delete the folder again.
