Workprocess for Infinite background job in ABAP

Dear all,
I have a background job which has an infinite loop i.e. WITHOUT any exit condition. The loop contains WAIT UPTO x mins statement.
So my query is if I run this program in background then will the Background Work process which executes this job, always be occupied and cant be used for other background jobs ? In other words, will I be wasting 1 BG workprocess for this job since it will never be freed to be used for other background jobs?
LOOP AT ITAB
WAIT UP TO x MINS.
ENDLOOP.
Requesting your expert insights .
Thanks in advance.

I am not so sure if this is correct. To my knowledge, BTC processes, as opposed to DIA, never perform "roll out" (e.g. during an RFC call) but just wait until processing continues. I just made a quick test in NW 740 release, there the BTC process remains occupied by my job when it does WAIT UP TO xxx SECONDS. So you occupy one BTC process as long as your job runs.
Please try out yourself and then award points to whoever is right, please.
Regards,
Alex

Hi Guys,
Can anyone let me know how to debug the background job in ABAP.
Thanks in advance
peter

Hi,
Goto SM37 and see the log if any is there and based on that you can check the code.
you can't debug background job.
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
Check this link for scheduling jobs..

Trigger substitution rule for a background job

Hi all,
I ve written a subroutine in Substitution rules for FI in GGB1 tcode for F110 transaction to replace the section code (bseg-secco) while posting a fi document.

The substitution is active and the activation level is active all the time.
Could u please suggest how to get it triggered for a background job...

Measuring External Processes
Use
The runtime analysis allows you to switch into work processes that are already running and to measure the runtime of dialogs running in them as though they were running in the current session. You can have up to ten external sessions, which may be of any type for example, dialog, update, or spool. This runtime analysis variant is ideal for monitoring long-running background jobs.
Filename and Directory
If you do not want to use the default filename and directory to store files, you can change them using the profile parameter abap/atrapath. If the profile parameter does not contain an entry at all, an error occurs when you start the runtime analysis.

Reg Super user for schedule background Jobs

Hi Experts,
I have created new user copied from DDIC with the same authorization. This is for scheduling Background Jobs. Now all the standard background Jobs are running fine. After scheduling the Jobs I have changed to system user. Now for audit purpose I need SAP note to do same. Please help me to get the sap note for the same. Please respond ASAP. treat this is as high priority.
Thanks & Regards,
Haseem.

HI,
It is not necessary for user having SAP_ALL authorization under which background job is running.
Define specific users to use for background processing. Define them as system users (non-dialog) and give them only the necessary authorizations that are needed for the executed programs
check http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/db/f6f3393bef4604e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
also check Note 101146 - Batch: authorization object S_BTCH_JOB, S_BTCH_NAM

Can we change the selection criteria for RV60SBAT Background Job for Billin

We have a requirement to add a new selection criteria for RV60SBAT Background Job for Billing. We want to process back order invoices first. So we want a specific background job to select these. So we want to select any orders that are eligible to be invoiced where order date < the date of background job(r sy-datum ). Any ideas where we can introduce this logic for selection criteria?
Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt
For your requirement , copy the standard RV60SBAT program to Z program and in that copied RV60SBAT program , maintain the logic that the backorder invoices should be first processed.Then after that regular background job for billing should take happen .Then your requirement can be fulfilled

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
Regards,
S.Srinivasan

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.
Thanks

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?

'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 ?

Dynamic variants for a background job

Hi,
I need to set up a background job for a dynamic variant. To elaborate my selection screen has date ranges which need to change dynamically , if the job is secheduled on weekly basis the selection date range should change automatically in the variant. I got to know that the same is possible through the table TVARV. Can I know about the method of setting up the same?
Thanks,
Shailaja

You can set a dynamic date to today date or some other date without using the table TVARV.
To set the dynamic date:
Save variant on the selection screen.
In the vairant screen, press F4 against your field in the column "Selection Variable"
Select D here.
In the column Name of the variable, press F4 to have the list of the possible rules.
Here you can select "Current date - xxx,current date + yyy" if you want to have certain period.
When you select this system will pop up to put the values for XXX and YYY.
Say for last 7 days, you can set the values XXX as 7 and YYY as0.
But the best way is to change the program, if possible, and fill the select option in the intialization event.

API for scheduling background jobs

Hello friends,
What is the API provided by R/3 to schedule background jobs, apart from the internal transactions, sm36 ?
regards,
Tanmay.

Hi,
There are FMs to create and schedule jobs instead of manually going to transaction SM36.
JOB_OPEN (create a job)
JOB_SUBMIT (attach program to be scheduled and set other scheduling parameters)
JOB_CLOSE (finally release it for use)
Hope your question is answered...

CCMS Monitor to Pager for Failed Background Jobs

Hello Experts,
I am currently leveraging Central CCMS monitoring to alert us via email whenever a background job fails in production using the MTE Class R3BPServerSpecAbortedJobs.
I am trying to find a way that I can tweak the monitor to alert me ONLY when specific background jobs fail.
We want this alert to notify the oncall pager only when a handful of critical jobs fail. Does anyone know how I can delimit this MTE?
For example, we will be creating jobs that begin with Z_ALERT* that I will tie to an auto-react method that will email a pager.
Thanks in advance.
Bill

Hi Sundara.
From following link, you can download step by step setup information.
So please check following documents.
http://www.service.sap.com/bpm
=>Media Library=>Technical Information
=>1. Business Process Monitoring - Setup Roadmap
=>2. Setup Guide - Business Process Monitoring
Before you start setup, I recommend you to check
SAP Notes 521820 to ensure whether you already fulfill
prerequestions.
Basically what you have to do is following.
1. Describe your business process under following area.
   (T-CD DSWP =>Solution Landscape =>Solution landscape maintenance)
2. Setup BPMon session.
   (T-CD DSWP =>Operation Setup => Solution Monitoring =>
    Business Process Monitoring)
   in BPMon session, select job monitoring. And define background
   job that you want to monitor.
   In BPMon job monitoring, you can monitor, cancel, delay, duration,
   unexpected parallelization, also job log and so on.
I hope this information help you.

How to check the ALV output for the background job

Hi Guru,
We are having a cutomized report which will display the result like a ALV report.
We configured it as an background job, after the completion of the background job, it will send the result to the SPOOL, and we can use SP02 to check the output,
But it is not easy for user to directly check the result easily, is there an method we can save it as an spreadsheet and send the output to a specific location or mailbox and then user can check it easily
thanks,

In SM37 ,select the Job > Spool > Select Spool No > Display Contents > Here it will show you the Output of the Report.Now select Ctrl +Shift + F12 , it will ask you to save the Spread sheet in specified location.
Best Regards,
Ankur
