Adding steps for a background job

Hello All,
I am creating a background job through a program and submitting another program for running in the background.
I would like to add steps for the backgound job which I created trough my program.
So background job will have different steps  for the same program which I submitted.
Could any one of you help me on how to add steps for background job which is already running.
Thanks and Regards,
Vijay

Hi Naimesh,
Thanks for the Reply.
Sorry for replying late.
The problem I am facing is we need only one job with multiple step .
for example if we have job named BCKGRD.
Under this job we need to create Step 1, Step 2, Step 3..
Regards,
Vijay

  • 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.
    but the substitution rule is not getting triggered as F110 runs a background job to post the 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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

    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

  • Adding a new step in existing background job

    Hi,
    I have a background job which has 14 steps. I have to add a new program in 15th step. Can any one let me know how to go ahaed with that?
    Regards,
    Ashish

    Go to SM37,  go to the "released" version of your job. I assume that it is a periodic job, hence there should be a released version of it.  select it and click from the menu,  Job--->Change.   Click the Steps button from the appliation tool bar,  now click the create button.  Enter the name of the abap program,  click check, and save.  That's it.

  • 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.

    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.

  • To check the status of a step inside a background jobs

    Hi All,
    i have a requirement where i have to check the status of a step(program)
    inside a background job.
    I tried with table TBTCP, but this will give the program status as P(scheduled)
    always.
    i know to find the status of a background job as whole, but how will we
    find out the status of a program inside a job.
    Could anyone please help?

    Use function module BP_JOBLOG_READ, result is an internal table of structure TBTC5,
    Analyze this internal table, looking for message S550(00) at the beginning of a step.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • Trigger mail for cancelled background jobs scheduled using SM37

    Dear Experts,
    My requirement is to trigger email whenever a job gets cancelled in background.
    For this I have already tried creating a workflow using BO BPJOB for event ABORTED.
    But for some reason the event is never getting triggered.
    I tested executing the workflow from tcode SWDD, it was running successfully, which means that there is no issue with my workflow.
    Now I want to resolve the above issue   OR
    I want to raise the event manually from the program through some BADI or Exit.
    But I didn't find any BADI or Exit for tcode SM37. Can anybody let me know if any.
