SAP Message BT031 - Period values are not permitted when specifying a previous job

Diagnosis
You have specified that your background job is to be automaticallyrescheduled. However, this option is not available for jobs that arescheduled to start when a predecessor job has been processed.

System Response
Job not scheduled.

Procedure
If your job must follow a predecessor job and must be automaticallyrepeated, you can use of the following alternatives:

  • Have the predecessor job schedule this job. That way, each time the
  • predecessor job runs, this job will be scheduled. See thedocumentation on the background programming interface in the SAPDevelopment Workbench library.
    • Reschedule this job using one of the other start options, such as date
    • and time. Automatic rescheduling is supported for these start options.
      If you wish your job to repeat according to a particular time period,then you must schedule your job with a start time and date.
      • Reschedule this job manually after it has run. When you reschedule the
      • job, you can specify a start date and time. Or you can have the job'sstart depend upon a predecessor job again. You can then also specify arescheduling interval for the job.
