Thanks in advance

hi,
There are two ways for you to handle,
one manually setting up the job through SM36 which is better and convinient,
secondly through program using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.
Find below steps in doing both:
Procedure 1:
1. Goto Trans -> SM36
2. Define a job with the program and variant if any
3. Click on start condition in application tool bar
4. In the pop-up window, click on Date/Time
5. Below you can see a check box "Periodic Job"
6. Next click on Period Values
7. Select "Other Period"
8. Now give '15' for Minutes
9. Save the job
In SM37 u can check the status of the jobs that u have assigned to background...
Here u mention the job name or the report name to check the status of the job...
After mentioning the job name or program name u just execute it.. ( without any name also u can execute then it gives u all the jobs set by your user name..
the status colud be released,active,finished etc..
Procedure 2 via Program:
Below is a sample code for the same. Note the ZTEMP2 is the program i am scheduling with 15mins frequency.
DATA: P_JOBCNT LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
L_RELEASE(1) TYPE c.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
JOBNAME = 'ZTEMP2'
IMPORTING
JOBCOUNT = P_JOBCNT
EXCEPTIONS
CANT_CREATE_JOB = 1
INVALID_JOB_DATA = 2
JOBNAME_MISSING = 3
OTHERS = 4.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
SUBMIT ZTEMP2 VIA JOB 'ZTEMP2' NUMBER P_JOBCNT
TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
WITH DESTINATION = 'HPMISPRT'
WITH IMMEDIATELY = SPACE
WITH KEEP_IN_SPOOL = 'X' AND RETURN.

Regarding back ground job scheduling

It is difficult to say. But if you can go to SM37 and check the log of the JOB it will dispaly you some messages.
This might help you.

Hi regarding back ground jobs

I have a report which is scheduled to run 2 times in the background.
here i am using OO ALV when to display output when run in back ground.
but i am getting an error when the same report is run in the back ground, stating there is a problem with the object references.
but one of my friend tried it and is successful to run in the background but another problem, when run in foreground 10 records are displayed and when run in background only 2 records are displayed for the same criteria.in both the cases i am sending the output to the file on appl server.
pls help me its urgent.
pionts are assured.

Ravi,
I have faced the same problem when I schedule the job in background.
When the report was run in forground, it gives expected results, and when it run in background, it will supress some fields and disply the report output.
This problem, I have debugged it and corrected, and its application specific I can say, cant conclude it by seeing the problem, needs to do much research and fix it up.

Sujatha.

Back Ground Job not Working

Hi,
I have watched all the threads regarding Back Ground job like SE36 & SE37. I have given a back ground job and its not working.
Its an ABAP Program which is creating an OLEDB Connection to MSACCESS and then retrieving and updating database table. The program is working very fine on foreground but when it is given to back ground job then it shows that the program is running, i mean in delay the time is ticking. But at last it is canceled by the system.
What's the thing i am missing or what should i do here? I have already set my program at high priority.
Thanks.

Hi Atish,
Are you sure that we cannot run in background? Can you please explain me why it cant be done.
Thanks,
Inder.

How to find the back ground job details

Hi All,
   I have a back ground job running from many days, now we would like to know when this job was created on what date this job actvlly created and schuduled.
           Please informe me how to check this.
Thanks & Regards,
Muralikrishna

On SM37 screen there is plenty of options are there:
This is what i got from SAP help
Explanation for each selection field:
o   Jobname: Name of the job as an identifier.
o   Username: Name of the user who designed and planned the job.
o   Start date: The start condition of the job, which could be a time
frame or an event that the job is waiting for. Specifying both will
yield jobs whose starting condition is either of the two
conditions.
ABAP program step: Name of an ABAP program that acts as a step in a
job.
Status selection: The current status of the job. By default, the
SCHEDULED option is not marked. To see the scheduled jobs, you must
explicitly check this.
also give the proper values in Job Satus also.

Scheduling Back Ground job

Hi All,
I need to schedule a daily background job for MB52 transaction and need to save the output of MB52 in a specified directory .
Can any one tell me whether it is possible to save back ground job output in specified directory?
Thanks & Regards
k.Nirmala

Hi Nirmala,
Set up variant at MB52 transaction and use SM37 and Sm36 transaction to schedule job.
Define job at Sm36 and use program - RM07MLBS and use your variant.
schedule job and set up time and date for periodcally.
and it will run and you can see the status at SM37 Transaction .
the background job will create spool and which will contain your output.
if you want to download your output ,then you need to write custom program to get spool information from TSP01 table and use open dataset command to down load specifi directory.

Error while activating ODS is not caught in the back ground job..

Hi All,
We have a back ground job to load data to ODS and to activate it..If there is any error while loading or activating the data, back ground job is going into loop instead of cancelling the job..As the job is going into loop we are unable to trace the error unless we cancel the job manually and checking it..We have switched off displaying any messages while doing the back ground job...also we can not set any time limit for the job as it always depends on the volume of the data.
My requirement is , back ground job must get cancelled if there is any error while loading the ODS..Can anybody suggest any idea on this..
Thanks for reading.
Umamaheswar kumar

Hi Uma,
A few hints for running and schedule and monitoring process chains:
- always schedule the process chain in tcode RSPC
- check the log in RSPC for error messages, or
- check BW monitor for the ODS concerned (tcode RSMO, tab Details)
if anything is not working fine, the status of the corresponding load will show you the errors, warnings ...
either in RSPC - log or RSMO.
hope it helps.

Lilly

How to download the application file to local file by back ground job?

hi:
can any one tell me how to download the application file to local file by back ground job? thanks in advance..
Monson

Hi,
In order to download a file from application layer to a local file in background,
first write a report(ZREPORT1) in which do the following steps:
OPEN DATASET g_file_1 FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
loop the g_file and append all the data into another internal table.
end of this report you shd have all the data in the application layer file into your internal table.
Now create another report(ZREPORT2) and submit this report in background.
that is,
JOB_OPEN
JOB_SUBMIT and
JOB_CLOSE
and in job_submit submit ZREPORT1 which downloads the file in application layer.
Please reward points if helpful.

thanks in advance.

The dump suggests that your report use a clipboard GUI functionality in background, so i fear there are very few chance of success (Usage of ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE which call CLPB_IMPORT or CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES->CLIPBOARD_IMPORT in background ?)
Perform some search at sdn with keywords Excel, upload and Background in [forums|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/search.jspa?threadID=&q=ExcelBackgroundupload&objID=&dateRange=last90days&numResults=15&rankBy=10001] and [wiki|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/dosearchsite.action?searchQuery.queryString=ExcelBackgroundupload&searchQuery.spaceKey=conf_global].

Hi Venkat,
The way to schedule a DTP in BI in NW 2004s is by putting it inside a process chain. The process chain can be scheduled.
