Error when trying to copy a job,BP_JOB_CREATE fuction modulecaled incorrect

[Former Member]

Hello All,

Please help, this is a weird message and I have no idea what the error message means.

A user was trying to copy a job and got this error message:

Error message:

The background processing system was unable to copy the job . The failure occurred in the BP_JOB_CREATE function module and may be due to one of the following reasons:

1. The new job could not be created because of problems with the control tables of the background processing system. This error suggests that there are problems in the database system.

2. The BP_JOB_CREATE function module was called incorrectly. There is a programming error in the calling program.

The user does has authorization to copy and nothing has changed in her access.

I tried to copy the job and I was able to do, so was one more user from a different team.

I looked in ST22 and there are no messages generated by that user.

Please help, this is a production issue.

Thanks.

I got this issue resolved.

It was an authorization error.

We recently changed one of the job step owner and the step owner did not have authorization to copy jobs that belonged to different users.

Added the required role and the problem was fixed.
