Logon of user in client failed when starting a step

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a question. (Might be simple to many).

<b>Logon of user in client failed when starting a step.</b>

Some of my scheduled jobs are getting cancelled due to the above error. It has been noted that the user corresponding to that job has been locked.

Can anybody suggest how to change the user of a Background Job (without deleting and re-creating the same).

Thanks and Regards

Hi,

I think we cannot change the properties of a released(or)created job as of my knowledge.

Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi

You cannot change the owner of the job once it is in released status.

Better, create the job with same varient by an existing user and delete the cancelled job.

Hello mukund,

You can check with sm36 t-code in step give another user name as you wish and schedule the job.

Hi Mukund,

Are you not able to unlock user-id?

That will be the simplest solution.
