Machine messages
What is it?
In the Operation Daily List screen, OpCon shows a 20-character message to the right of each job's status. The SAP BW Agent populates this message with information about the SAP BW process chain. This page explains the format of that message and lists the agent-specific exit codes you may see when a job fails.
