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...
Regards, Tapas

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

Error in Schedule Background Job for Deadline Monitoring of swu3

While Auto Customization swu3 i am getting error message 'Output device "" not known' in 'Schedule Background Job for Deadline Monitoring'
Please advice what could be cause of it

the earlier problem of background job was solved by changing the output device assigned to user wf-batch .
regarding the transport request :
when i was trying to execute the step : "Schedule bakgrd for missed deadlines " MANUEL it was giving me an option of SAVE AND SCHEDULE . which was creating the transport request . but when i executed it automatically it worked fine without asking a request to me ... i don't know why )-: ... probablly we can specify a different interval then the standard of three minutes and which will be transported (it's just a guess) . i have executed it automatically ...
well thanks all for u r help

How to deactivate *Schedule Background Job for Work Items with Errors* SWU3

Can any one tell me how do I DEACTIVATE Schedule Background Job for Work Items with Errors in sap workflow SWU3.

Hello,
You could also just stop the job in tx SM37.
But why would you want to do this? As a test?

Automatic workflow customizing :Schedule background job for condition evalu

Hai,
I have one problem in automatic customizing SWU3(Maintain runtime environment)-Schedule background job for condition evaluation.
How to turn green tick from red cross? All other steps are OK in SWU3 except this problem.
Please give me some tips.
-Jaheer
_______Thanks in terms of BIG points_______________________

Hi Jaheer
If the only red cross is next to the condition evaluation job, I suppose you could just schedule up the job automatically in SM36. Just be sure that the RFC Destination is correctly configured.
The program that you need to schedule is <b>RSWWCOND</b>. The SAP default is to call the job SWWCOND and schedule it to run every 30min. That should get rid of the red cross. And if not, you might find along the way why the Auto-Customising didn't work.

Schedule Background Job : Remove delivery Block in Sales order

Hi Gurus,
I have a requirement to select all sales orders as per a condition and remove delivery block at
VA02-> Go to -> Header -> Status
For that I have to write a program which will be run only in background and i have to schedule background job for the same.
I have a parameter at selection - No of records
If no of records = 500 , I have to submit 500 jobs ie one job each for each sales order for removing delivery block.
I need to know
1) Which function module/bapi I can use to remove delivery block at sales order header level.
For blocked delivery the status is 'BSTK" . to remove block i need to change status to "RSTK".
2) How to schedule a background job for my program and how to submit one job each for each sales order.
Regards
Avi.

Hi Avi,
Would like to seek for your advice. I am facing the same scenario too which is to delete the delivery block but is deletion of the delivery block is done in the user exit MV45AFZZ. The subroutine which needs to have the extra logic of deleting the delivery block is USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE.
Need your advice on how do you solve this scenario? Thanks in advance.

Schedule background job using system variant

Dear gurus,
We're planning to schedule background job using system variant, for example, current fiscal year and current posting period (transaction AFAB). Is it possible? So for example, for this month, "Posting Period" value will be 6, and then next month will be 7.
Can you tell me how to do this, if I want to set up the schedule only once?
Thanks for your help.

Hi all
   Could anyone let me know if variants be transported .
   also can scheduled background jobs transported.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Run the program RSTRANSP and give the name of the program and the variant name.
It will create a transport request for the variant.
the rest of the process is the same as is the case with all other transport requests.

Hi Rhishabh,
Actually we can not completely schedule background at OSLevel but we can trigger a background job which has alreadyscheduled by using sapevt tool syntax as follows.
sapevt <event name> nr=<instance name> name=<host name>
or we have tool like
In unix you use crontab.

Many Thanks
Mahi

Hello Mahi,
The BackGround job - "Program" thats runs in SAP Server and not depend any user interface.
like Antivirus program on your local station that runs (scaning your computer all the time) without any user interface (becide tray Icon) and unless you going to Running Proccess on your computer you don't know that it working.
Schedule BackGround Job its any backGround Job that you schedule to run any time you want and you can make it run recursivly.
you can go to Transaction SM36 to schedule your Programs.

Schedule Background Job whenever new message WVINVE

Hi All,
I have following requirment:-
Schedule Background Job with a ABAP program,
whenever new message type WVINVE posted in SAP inbound.
I am confused in "Event" which i select in SM36.
Or, is there any other method to trigger a background report, whenever WVINVE03 IDOC posted in SAP system & create physical Inventory document.
regards
Umesh

For triggereing a background job, when ever a message type WVINVE is posted. You need to create a
Background Job with the the program and mark the Job Event periodic. Secondly you need to trigger that event from the Inbound processing program or Function module which processes the message type using the Function module <b>BP_EVENT_RAISE</b>. so when ever a message type is processed it will trigger the event which inturns trigger the Job.
Hope this will Help.

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.

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.

Nilesh

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.

Alex
