Message number: 506

Message text: Enter a name and start-date or immediate release



What causes this issue?

Standard reports are generated in batch processing. You must assign a
name of your choice to identify the job to be created.
You can also select whether you want the job to be generated
immediately or later (time, date). To do so, activate the "Release
immediately" indicator or enter the time and date.


System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.



How to fix this error?

Enter a name for the job which will be used for generation in batch.
Activate "Release immediately" if you want to start generation
immediately. In this case any entries for time and date are ignored.
If you want to generate the report later, enter the start date and time
and do not cross off "Release immediately". This means that the
generation is planned, but still has to be released. To do so, use
transaction <DS:TRAN.SM37>Batch Processing </>.
