Hello,

this could be the solution:

1.) Check in which client the SWWCOND Job has the problem.

2.) Delete the released SWWCOND Job via SM37.

3.) Re-Schedule the job in the affected client via SWU3 (Section " Maintain Runtime Environment")

best regards

But the system does not allow to create a variant starting with "&". How did you create this variant?

[former_member415892]

The variant value "&000..." is a "random" number that is generated by the value that report gets.

Usually, when a job is scheduled, you either schedule it by entering the parameters & launching in via background or by creating a variant with all the parameters & configuring the program to execute with that.

If you use the variant method, the execution will be shown with the variants name.

If you just put down the parameters & execute the job, it will generate (and will continue executing) with a "&0000..." variant.

So if you tried to copy the job from your quality environment into your production with the same variant, it will give you this error as it is not a static variant.

Try to schedule the job in SE37 (with run in background option)..

Select the values & variant will be stored automatically

It says that the varient does not exist. To check this, go to SE38, enter the program name and select Variant button and Display.

See if the Variant &0000000000000 exist in production and quality. It should be missing in production which is causing the issue.

Comparing with quality server, you can either create the variant with same name for this program which will solve this issue.
