How to trigger an existing background job in ABAP program?which fm?

Hi experts,
how to trigger an existing background job( defined in SM36 ) in ABAP program?which fm?
seems that FM 'JOB_OPEN' / 'JOB_SUBMIT' / 'JOB_CLOSE' can only create a new job.

Hi,
now my requirement is that sap has generated one job automatically, and then i will have a job name
'XXX'. and then i want to schedule the job in abap program,. which function module could i use ?
my expected fm is that the system will trigger the job after i give the job name and start condition.
i have tried job_open, but it seems just to create a new job. any advice ?

Restrict background Jobs thro' ABAP Program

Hello,
While I was working in one of the customer place , they restricted the background jobs thro' one ABAP program for customer reports . Unfortunately , I don't have the source code with me. As you are all aware that users fires the background jobs for different periods so that he/she can submit the reports to the higher up in time.
Scenario : I have 10 application servers and each application has 20 work processes ( 12-Dialog,4-Background,3-spool,1-Gateway). I would like to restrict 1 background process/per appl server for customer reports(Y OR Z programs) during the business hours .
It would be great help to Basis Consultants , if you can contribute to restrict the background jobs .
Thanks

Hi Daniel,
The program MEREP_DISTRIBUTOR(Client Data Distributor) determines delta data independent of a download request from the client.This is mainly used to reduce the load on the server and scheduling of this program is part of "SAP MI Administration" which is generally performed as part of OR after MI Post Installation steps that recommends you to Schedule Background Jobs for Generic and Smart Sync which you wanted to confirm in your post.So the programs
(1)WAF_MW_MAPPING
(2)WAF_DEPLOYMENT_FROM_ROLES &
(3)MEREP_RETRY_BP
are good enough for scheduling Generic & Smart Sync(in your case for MAM).Apart from these you may have to check up the Handler Settings that is mentioned in my previous post.
Hope this helps.

How to de-schedule a background job?

Dear all,
     I have scheduled a background ABAP report titled ZHRWFIT19 at SM36 to trigger a workflow.
     Initially I scheduled this background job to 9 A.M.
     Later I changed to schedule this background job to 10 A.M at SM37.
     Now my workflow triggers twice i.e., at 9 A.M. once and 10 A.M once.
     I want it to start at 10 A.M. only.Though I changed the schedule time to 9 A.M. to 10 A.M, still my background job triggers the
     workflow at 9 A.M. and 10 A.M.
     How to de-schedule this background report at 9 A.M.?
     Please suggest for which I will be grateful forever.
Thanks and regards,
S.Suresh

Dear Shastri,
         Thank you so much for your reply.
         As you have rightly pointed, I have 2 entries with same background job at SM37.That's why my workflow triggers twice.Now I want to permanently delete the background job entry at SM37 which triggers my workflow at 9 A.M.
        I couldn't delete this entry at SM37 permanently.Please suggest me how to permanently delete the entry that triggers the workflow at 9 A.M., for which I will grateful.
Thanks and regards,
S.Suresh

Create a Variant for the Program and
Schedule JOB in background:
Go to SM36 create a Job
enter Program and Variant for that program in STEP..
click on Start Condition
Click on DATE and TIME enter date scheduled Start and END times
click on Period Values
Click on HOURLY/WEEKLY etc
CLick on RESTRICTIONS also to use further criteria.
so your job will be scheduled and run as per your requirement.
and in SM37 Transaction check the status of that JOB

How to create a job thru ABAP program for calling a program with variant???

Hello experts,
can u give me step wise procedure to create jobs for a program with a variant name thru ABAP???
Also, can a transaction can be scheduled as a job to run in background with a variant name???
Edited by: SAP USER on Jul 22, 2008 6:08 AM

Hi,
To create a job through ABAP program you can do the following.
Go to Menu bar.
In there, go to SYTSTEM> SERVICES> JOBS--> DEFINE JOB.
Then give the JOB NAME and CLASS in the screen that comes up.
This is how we schedule a program.
Now, to create a variant for a program -
First activate your program in SE38. Then execute it .
Now, click on SAVE button. It will open up the variant creation screen. Give the details there like variant name and value for the fields. Save and come back.
Hope this helps.

How To Call a Broadcasting Template within an ABAP program

I was wondering if anyone knew how to call the Broadcast template via an ABAP program so it will execute? The scenario that I have is we are doing validations via BW. We put the data (for conversion reasons) through validation rules and then load a data target. From this, there are 2 situations that could occur:
1) There are errors
2) There are not any errors
If #1 is true, then I would like to execute the Query Broadcasting Template that I have created. If #2 is true, then I would like to execute another process via the ABAP program. In the past, I was successful using exception reporting via reporting agent, since I was able to call that program but the report did not look good at all. Please let me know if there is a program that I could call in order to execute this broadcast that I have set up.
Best Regards,
Tim

Hello,
although this is an old threat, but do you have any hints on how to dynamically change the template when broadcasting?
kind regards
Murat

Urgent!! How to call a custom transaction or an ABAP program in BSP?

Urgent!! How to call a custom transaction or an ABAP program in BSP?
We are pretty new on BSP. Would be very appreciated if any expert here give us the detailed steps on how to build up the application to just call a custom transaction (e.g., t-code: ztest) or an ABAP program. Would we have to create a button or event handler to do that? And the detailed steps?
Thanks in advance and we will definately give you reward points!

hi Durairaj,
During the time to wait for your answer, we copied Bernd's code from your last link, but when activating it, get the 1st error msg:
Field "CLIENT" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement. "DATA" statement."DATA" statement. The error shows up here:
<td>
<htmlb:inputField id = "client"
value = "<%= client %>" />
</td>
Then we added Client to the page attribute and define it as type String, then get another error:
The field "EVENT" is unknown, but there is a field with the similar name "EVENT_ID"."EVENT_ID". This error shows up at the beginning in the Event Handler:
OnInputProcessing:
code
event handler for checking and processing user input and
for defining navigation
event handler for data retrieval
event = cl_htmlb_manager=>get_event( runtime->server->request ).
IF event->name = 'button' AND event->event_type = 'click'.
button_event ?= event.
How to resolve this unknown Event error, need to define in Page Attribute tab? but with what type?
Actually we only want to run an ABAP4 program in BSP, the code is complicated, could you show us an easy way of doing this in BSP?
