Authorization to schedule BW jobs in R/3

Hi all,
is there a profil that provides me only the necessary authorizations to start BW jobs in the Customizing cockpit, delete and fill setup tables...all the jobs that have to be done to run the productive system?
Thanks
jg

Hi
you can ask security people for a "break-fix" role. they will give you access to do the setup tables.
usually the BW team will inform basis/secuity about the deletion and performing of setup tables. they will fix a time after the normal hours where in all users are locked out from the system. in a sense, R/3 will be down for that time.

Scheduling Background job without any authorization

Hi All,
Here is my requirement.End user will save a material and at the time of SAVE , background job has to be scheduled to run a process.
End user will not have any authorization to schedule the job in background. Is there any way to bypass the AUTHORITY-CHECK of the program. Client will not provide authorization for the end user to schedule job in background.
I thought of giving a user name in the program like below, the user "BATCHUSER" has all the authorization to schedule a job in background. But program fails to by pass the AUTHORITY-CHECK , is there any other way to by pass AUTHORITY-CHECK .
Here is my code.
JOB_OPEN.
SUBMIT 'XXX' USER 'BATCHUSER' VIA JOB v_name NUMBER v_number AND RETURN.
JOB_CLOSE.
Please help me ....

Ashok

Hi,
workflow could be an option. Either transfering the logic into the workflow at all or you can just plan the job in a background step of the workflow. As WF-Batch is runnung with SAP_ALL authorization shouldn't be an issue.
Depending on what application you are in, there could already be a wf-event on save so development effort could be quite low.

Process chain scheduling error( Job BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX could not schedule

Hi,
I am scheduling the process chain but it was throwing an error.
Job BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8
Message no. RSPC065
Diagnosis
Program RSPROCESS is to be scheduled as job BI_PROCESS_DROPINDEX under user ALEREMOTE.
System Response
Scheduling terminated with return code 8. The meanings of the return codes are as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 4:
Scheduling terminated by user
SY-SUBRC = 8:
Error when scheduling job (JOB_SUBMIT)
SY-SUBRC = 12:
Error in internal number assignment
Procedure
Check the system log for more detailed information.
Execute Function
for this i have already checked
in RSPC menu tab
Process Chain >> Attributes >> Execution User
Choose "BW Background User" which should be ALEREMOTE.
above settings i have done.
even though when i am scheduling the process chain i am getting the same error
thanks
suman

Suman,
You are not able to schedule it b'coz it is getting scheduled from user RFCUSER whereas the background user should be ALEREMOTE.
There is an option somewhere in the Menu bar in RSPC to change the Execution user. Please change that to ALEREMOTE,
Please check whether your BW user has enough authorization to run this job. The above post tell you how to do it.

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

I want to revoke rights so users cannot schedule periodic jobs

We do encourage users to run reports in Background but we want to prevent them from scheduling periodic jobs.
We want to have more controll over periodic jobs as we observed that users schedule them and then forget about them.
Morover this has become our audit recommendation.
As far as I can see there is no standard way to do it.
Has anyone managed to achieve it?

Hi..
while searching for the answer i have seen following interesting point.chk whether this will help you..
A job is eligible to start when both of the following are true:
The start condition specified for the job is met.
The job has been released to run.
No job can be run until it has been released, even those scheduled to start immediately. To monitor and control what jobs are submitted to run in background processing, the system can be configured so an administrator can check jobs before releasing them to run.
The release requirement can also be turned off on a per-user basis. Trusted users can be given a special authorization (authorization object S_BTCH_JOB (Batch Processing: Operations on Batch Jobs), value RELE) which will automatically and immediately release any job scheduled by that user.

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.

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

Please help me how to schedule the job to run evry Sunday at 12 P.M IST.
Thanks.

Did you read DBMS_SCHEDULER docs:
The calendaring syntax does not allow you to specify a time zone. Instead the Scheduler retrieves the time zone from the start_date argument. If jobs must follow daylight savings adjustments you must make sure that you specify a region name for the time zone of the start_date. For example specifying the start_date time zone as 'US/Eastern' in New York will make sure that daylight saving adjustments are automatically applied. If instead the time zone of the start_date is set to an absolute offset, such as '-5:00', daylight savings adjustments are not followed and your job execution will be off by an hour half of the year.
When start_date is NULL, the Scheduler will determine the time zone for the repeat interval as follows:
It will check whether the session time zone is a region name. The session time zone can be set by either:
Issuing an ALTER SESSION statement, for example:
SQL> ALTER SESSION SET time_zone = 'Asia/Shanghai';
Setting the ORA_SDTZ environment variable.
If the session time zone is an absolute offset instead of a region name, the Scheduler will use the value of the DEFAULT_TIMEZONE Scheduler attribute. For more information, see the SET_SCHEDULER_ATTRIBUTE Procedure.
If the DEFAULT_TIMEZONE attribute is NULL, the Scheduler will use the time zone of systimestamp when the job or window is enabled.

Creating a job and scheduling a job error in OEM

Hi, Everyone,
I am trying to create and schedule a job thru OEM. In the the pl/sql block provide i have given my code like this
begin
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
SPOOL C:\RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.LOG APPEND;
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD/MM/YY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;
EXEC PAC_RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.CALL_ALL (200910);
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD/MM/YY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;
SPOOL OFF;
end;
i have created the job and scheduled it but i am getting this error:
Error # 6550
Details ORA-06550: line 2, column 5: PL/SQL: ORA-00922: missing or invalid option ORA-06550: line 2, column 1: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored ORA-06550: line 3, column 7: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "C" when expecting one of the following: := . ( @ % ;
could anyone pls help as this is very urgent.
Thanks in advance

Ah, the problem is you are confusing SQLPlus commands with PL/SQL.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON; -- This is a SQLPlus command, not necessary here.
SPOOL C:\RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.LOG APPEND; -- This is a SQLPlus command, in PL/SQL to write out to a file you will need to call the UTL_FILE package to open a file for writing to. Except that the file you write to will appear on the database server, not your workstation, when the scheduled job runs.
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD/MM/YY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL; -- In PL/SQL you need to SELECT columns INTO variables FROM tables. But in fact I guess you want to write the time to file using UTL_FILE again. However, you don't really need to do this, since scheduler will log the start time and run duration itself.
EXEC PAC_RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.CALL_ALL (200910); -- This is the SQLPlus equivalent of the PL/SQL command:
BEGIN
PAC_RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.CALL_ALL (200910);
END;
SPOOL OFF; -- This is a SQLPlus command, not necessary here.
So to summarise, all you really need is:
BEGIN
PAC_RFV_PROFILE_REPORT.CALL_ALL (200910);
END;
And the scheduled job will log the start time and duration in the database, which you can find here:
SELECT * FROM USER_SCHEDULER_JOB_RUN_DETAILS

Scheduling background job on Logon group

Hi All,
We have 4 logon groups configured in SMLG, while scheduling the job in SM36 ->Target server field i am able to see only one group and other indivdual servers not all the Groups configured in SMLG.
Is there any option i have to check to let all the groups configured in SLMG to diaply in SM36 for scheduling so that i can select the Logon group. I tried giving the logon group names manually which are not listed in Target server field it's giving the error group not exist..
Please suggest..how to make all the Groups configured in SMLG to get displayed in SM36 for scheduling jobs...
Thanks,
Subhash.G

Target server field is Name of an SAP instance at which a background job should be run. The name has the following format: <host name>_<SAP System name>_<SAP System number>, where host name is the name of the server computer on which the instance is running, as specified in the system profile parameter SAPLOCALHOST.
The name of each instance is specified in the system profile parameter rdisp/myname.
Example: hs0123_C11_55
In programming: As the table field EXECSERVER, shows the target instance selected by the user for running a job. As the table field REAXSERVER, shows the SAP instance at which a job was actually run.
Hope this is clear.
Thank you,
Shyam

Schedule background jobs which run only on Thursdays.

Dear Friends,
We are using ECC6.00. I have a requirement whereby a specific job (background) should be executed only on Thursdays. I searched in this forum but couldn't get anything related to my question. I tried the options present in the SM36 transactions (scheduling options).
Is there any way of achieving my requirement.? Experts help required.
Regards,
M.M

Hi Magesh,
I am not sure if this would be the right approach. But if you are really sure that there is no way to do this using SM36 settings,
you can schedule a job to execute daily, which would be a custom abap program.
This program would check the day and if it is a thursday ,will schedule another job for the day(programatically).
This can be a way around to solve this problem.

Sagar

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.
Best Regards,

Schedule background jobs at OS level.....

Hi All,
Scheduling Background Jobs at SAP Level is a very simple task. Is there any way to schedule background jobs at OS level? Please lemme ASAP....
Thanks
Rhishabh

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.
We can use different job scheduling softwares like IBM TIVOLI software MAESTRO JOB SCHEDULING CONSOLE, Control M
