Why is the job putting itself on hold?

Hi All
I have a program connecting to and reading from a remote ftp server. If I run the program manually in forground or background everything is fine and completes within seconds. If I set up a job in SM36 the job put itself on hold with RFC as reason and runs for hours without doing much. Any ideas how to solve this??
Regards
Marius

Hi Marius,
As usual I suspect you might get better answers if you describe in more detail what you're actually doing. I haven't encountered the problem you're describing yet, so I can only give some very generic (probably useless) comments.
I'm assuming that you're using standard SAP functionality for the ftp with RFC destination SAPFTPA; should you be using RFC destination SAPFTP (which I'd assume should fail in background and not hang) switch to SAPFTP. When using SAPFTPA you can try enabling the RFC trace in the destination and check if that gives any insights. Furthermore it might be helpful to read through [OSS note 93042 - Problems with SAPFTP|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/93042].
Also, not sure if still applicable, but [OSS note 354464 - Problems with saphttp and sapftp on the frontend|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/354464] is an interesting read as it explains how sapftp works when using the frontend (so probably not helping with your problem, but might give you some additional insight).
Cheers, harald

  • Ipod puts itself on hold, no response than!

    Hi! I have used my ipod shuffle 4th gen for about 5 months and it worked perfectly, but now when I turn it on, it puts itself on hold after about 5 seconds and does not respond to any buttons anymore, except turn off/on. can you please help me

    What do you mean by the iPod puts itself on hold?  Does it stop playing music?  Have you double checked to make sure the headphones are plugged all the way in, meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Shuffle?
    Perhaps a reset would your next step.

  • Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off while the screen is locked?

    Why does the iphone allow itself to be powered off whlie in the lock screen?  This makes it impossible to track if stolen does it not?  Seems like an assinine concept!

    It does, but there's little we regular mortals can do about it. However, you now have something to contribute to Apple via the Feedback Link!

  • Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days?  I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.

    Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days?  I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.movie

    It should not take more than 4 hr.   Is there any indication it is making process?  i.e.  When you click on it to play do you get a message like "Will be avialable in 2hr 34 min"?  Is that time changing?  I would cancel the download.  Restart ATV and then retry.  If it goes more than 4hr then there is an issue. 
    As another option you can always download the movie to your computer and use the iTuens menus to play it from your computer under the Computers icon.

  • TA38608 Why does the other person become on hold even if I merge?

    My phone merged calls fine in US but I'm currently using a Saudi SIM (conference calls are available) but it wouldn't merge calls right. The other person is always on hold & I guess the problem is not from the network itself. This problem happens in UAE as well.

    I asked, it is activated and works properly from what they can tell. Are there any steps I MUST follow? Must the receivers activate conference call?

  • C4680 printer cancels jobs in the que by itself

    I installed a new print cartridge and printed the alignment page.  But when I went to scan it the computer cancelled the job and said I could go ahead but printing would not be the best quality.  Now when I try to print from my computer it goes into the job que and before it prints it cancels the job by itself.   I have tried using the Diagnostic Guided Solution to no avail.  I've unplugged and restarted.  Nothing works.  What else can I try?

    HI
    Download the HP print diagnostic utility, it might be able to help you as it will scan for and fix some common errors. You can find more info about the tool and download it here.

  • How to capture the job start time

    Hi,
    how do i capture the time the job start running and the time the job end? when i query this
    SQL> select * from user_jobs;no column are showing when the job start time (only last_sec and next_sec). I want to copy user_jobs view into ajob_history table, like this:
    Job history table
    Job_start Job_end
    (?)     (last_sec)

    Why not add a log time into the job call itself? That way, you can collect the information yourself for the jobs you're interested in.
    So instead of the "what" parameter being "my_proc(p1, p2....)", change it to something like:
    declare
      v_start_time TIMESTAMP;
      v_end_time  TIMESTAMP;
    begin
      v_start_time := systimestamp;
      my_proc(p1, p2....);
      v_end_time := systimestamp;
      log_job_time('Unique identifier', v_start_time, v_end_time);
    end;and have the log_job_time process insert a row into a logging table that captures the name of the job and it's start and end time.
    That's if you can't include the timings in your procedure, of course.

  • Batch job scheduling based on Event AND for the job to complete

    I am trying to schedule a background job based on an event AND based on the job finishing itself.
    Example:
    Job name: Send_Message
    After Event: SAP_NEW_PROCESS Message
    Program:  Program xxxx
    I want that the Send_Message job only runs when the Event SAP_NEW_PROCESS message happens AND the Send_Message job is not running.
    Right now, I could only schedule it based on the event SAP_NEW_PROCESS Message which means that everytime this event happens the job runs and I end up having the job "Send_Message" in multilple intances where the others will immediately cancel since the first job is still running and so I end up with a lot of Cancelled job when it is not necessary to run them all when there is already 1 instance of the Job running.
    How do I set it up in SAP?

    Thanks but I am new to SAP having to set up a batch job.
    The Event "SAP_NEW_PROCESS_MESSAGES" is a standard SAP Event.  We used that such that when a new transaction comes in, the batch job will run but we don't want to run the batch job if the same batch job is already running.
    YOu mentioned that I should set up Job_0.  Do I need to create an ABAP prorgram to check if JOB_1 is running?  How do I set up Job_0?  What is the trigger for my Job_0 to run?
    You also said that I set up Job_1 and trigger that based on the outcome of Job_0 AND at the same time be triggered by the event "SAP_NEW_PROCESS_MESSAGES".  How do I set up  this Job_1 so that it can be triggered by both Job_0 and a new transaction coming in(SAP_NEW_PROCESS_MESSAGES).
    if you can provide me the step by step guide as I am new to this and I only know basic.
    The current set up I have is
    Job_1
    Job Start:
          After Event
                Event: SAP_NEW_PROCESS_MESSAGES
          Step 1: program to run RCOCB002
    I was thinking following your suggestion is this:
    Job_0
    Job Start
          After Event
                Event: SAP_NEW_PROCESS_MESSAGES
          Step 1: program to run - What will be my program to run?
    Job_1
    Job_Start
          After Event
                Event: What will be my trigger for Job_1 and how do I set it up?

  • My iPhone 5S will put itself on mute, hold or speaker and also pulls up my contacts when I'm on the phone all after I updated to iOS 8.2...

    after I updated to ios 8.2 it's hard to have a phone call without my phone pulling up my contacts or putting itself on speaker, mute or hold on it's own.

    Looks like the proximity sensor is not working correctly. Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software.

  • CPU rendering why can't a Video Card do the job?

    I started noticing that the flash player rely on a processor
    more than a graphic card, I kind of was hoping that someday that
    flash would work off from video card as a rendering engine. Though
    right now flash player playing flash files seems like it puts too
    much stress on a processor for rendering flash I mean simply why
    can't the video card do the work when processor takes up like 90%
    of the job? and do the job more smoother? Just an idea I'm putting

  • HT204053 My wife and I each have an apple computer and an iPhone.  Setting them up with the iCloud put us on the same account.  I take a lot of photos on job sites and she takes her own photos we have to scan though each others photos to find our own.  Ho

    My wife and I each have an apple computer and an iPhone.  Setting them up with the iCloud put us on the same account.  I take a lot of photos on job sites and she takes her own photos we have to scan though each others photos to find our own.  How do I separate the accounts without one of us losing our own stuff?

    Decide which device will be changing accounts.  On that device, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll that you want to keep on the device, save them to the camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. 
    Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The device(s) that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iDevice.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.
    Finally, to delete any data that you don't want in each account (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa) you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete it.

    Thanks Chris   The phone has been great until this morning.  When using the camera it seemed to shut down, then it was just looping the restart, and finally into recovery   It never rains but pours   Thanks anyway
    BTW, the phone has never been jailbroken or anything.  Stock standard

  • How to get a materialized view get to refresh itself after the job is "broken"

    we created a materialized view sometime ago with the following statement:
    create materialized view SXV_PUB_EMPLOYEE_CERT_ALL_M
    refresh complete on demand
    start with to_date('30-08-2009 04:00:00', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') next trunc(sysdate) + (28/24)
    as
    select  sxv_emp_cert_all.*
    from    sxv_employee_certification_all sxv_emp_cert_all;
    this week we found out it had not been refresh for about a month
    In dba_jobs the column broken was 'Y', next_date time something like 01-01-4000 and failures 16
    when I ran it manually by executing
    BEGIN DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH('SXV_PUB_EMPLOYEE_CERT_ALL_M', 'C'); END;
    I found that one of the columns was too small (probably a columns of one of the underlying tables had been extended since the creation of the materialized view)
    After fixing this I ussied yesterday (on 29-8-2013) the statement :
    alter materialized view SXV_PUB_EMPLOYEE_CERT_ALL_M
    refresh complete on demand
    start with to_date('30-08-2009 04:00:00', 'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss') next trunc(sysdate) + (28/24)
    after this the table dba_jobs showed me 30-08-2013 04:00:00 as next date
    I was expecting it to run this night at 04:00, but it didn't
    the last_date column value was still from about a month ago, the column broken still shows 'Y'
    and the next date 30-08-2013 04:00:00 (while it should been set to 31-08-2013 01:00:00
    Rrunning
    BEGIN DBMS_MVIEW.REFRESH('SXV_PUB_EMPLOYEE_CERT_ALL_M', 'C'); END;
    gave no errors this time
    and in User_Mview_Analysis the last_refresh_date column showed the date/time I had executed it
    Any idea how to get the job "unbroken" again so that the view refreshes itself every night?
    the database is Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0

    thanx for all your helpful and correct answers . but eventually I found it myself
