Background Scheduling Via SE38

Hello.
I am trying to stop some transactions of being executed in dialog mode.
My intention is to force the end user to use the background processing instead.
But even with the background processing I have a problem. I must force the users just to use the night time window when scheduling the job.
Do you know a way to pick up the information the user enters in the scheduler window and to return an error? Some kind of customer exit?
Best Regards
Rui Pinto

Rui -
There are some standard function modules which will allow you to schedule programs in bakground - programatically.
Please refer the help documentation http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/fa/097720543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
You can use the module BP_JOBVARIANT_SCHEDULE, which has limited control or JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT, and JOB_CLOSE for full fledged control.
You may have to create a wrapper report to accomodate these function modules.
Let me know if you need any help.
Thanks

Background schedule process

Hi
I am new to Oracle 9iAS. Can someone tell me if there is any
better way to implement a background scheduled process ?
Currently, I am doing it via AT command. Just wondering if
Oracle9iAS has any scheduler that I can make use of.

You can set up the different step while schedule the back ground job. Each step will have the program name, variant.
You can do his using transaction SM36 -> JOB WIZARD.

What, for the classic dynpro program? Just go to SE38 and use the variants radio button to maintain the variants for the program in question.

MC75 - background schedule option not available

Hi
i got a requirement to schedule the tcode MC75 in background mode. But SAP has not given the option in the menu bar -> execute in background option like the tcode MD74.
Even the save button is disabled in the tcode MC75 hence not possible to save like a variant.
I found a SAP notes relevant to that. The note no is 381061. But i am not able to implement the note in my system. I tried to customize the program by copying to zprogram using the code correction given In sap notes 381061. But could not find relevant to background scheduling.
Can any one tell me how to customize the tcode for background scheduling.

Background Schedule - Hardcore Input data

Hi Experts
         I am developing a BDC, now i want to schedule the program into background.
        So i want to hardcore the input data like
         Select Method (Genrate session/Call transaction)
         Processing Mode
         Update Mode
         Nodata Indicator.
These data i need to hardcore in the program itself for further processing of background schedule.
          How to do it, pls advise me on this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Rajaram

Hi Rajaram,
As of my understanding do you want to put the following on your selection screen?
Select Method (Genrate session/Call transaction)
Processing Mode
Update Mode
Nodata Indicator
then do so.
There is a structure for call transaction parameters, which you can use for setting of selection screen and can set the default values as wellin initialization event.
Structure name : CTU_PARAMS
Reward pointsif useful.
Thanks & Regards

ERROR in Scheduling via Transaction-IP30

Hello Gurus,
When I am scheduling the maint plan 1234, system is throwing Error message IP202-Maintenance plan 000000001234 NOT scheduled.
I am using following scenario in * ECC5.0*:
I've created a single cycle plan 1234, with measuring point as a counter . The Cycle/Unit is say 1440min.
Tasklist is attached.
Call horizon 100%.
SchedPeriod 365 Day.
And Cycle modification factor as 1.00 Other parameters are NOT maintained.
Counter (Category M) is having character unit as "minute".
Created Measuring document in IK11and started scheduling via IP10. I got Scheduled Called/Scheduled Hold.
Everything is fine up to this step.
Now I want to run IP30 manually for next 30 day but I am getting Error message IP202- Maintenance plan 1234 NOT scheduled.
What is possibility of this error?
This is very strange to me.
I'll really appreciate for your efforts.
Best Regards,
Ganesh.

Hi All,
Thanks for your response.
Details of Maintenance Plan and Call Object:
Maintenance Plan cycle : Single Cycle Plan with Cycle/Unit 1440 min
Counter: Characteristic (say RUNTIME) with Unit Min
Task List: General task list assigned
Scheduling Parameters: Call Horizon=100%; SchedPeriod 365 DAY;
I've created 4-5 measuring documents.
Initially done scheduling using IP10.... (ofcourse restated number of times)...
Still I am getting same error.
I'll urge please consider I am using ECC5.0
Request you to guide me what went wrong....
Call Object is Preventive Order (PM02)

[Forum FAQ] Cannot perform a backup schedule via Windows Server Backup and receive "The system cannot find the path specified." Error

Symptom One
You attempt to
schedule a backup every day via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2008 R2. At the beginning, the backup works without issue. But after a few days it failed and you receive the error “Windows Server Backup:
The system cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue may occur if there is
no shadow copy storage space available on the backup volume.
Verify
You can use the List ShadowStorage command to check if you have enough storage space to store the newly created shadow copy. If you've reviewed the size of the backup snapshot and discovered
that there is no allocated space for the storage association, you need to resize shadowstorage.
Solution
You could run the command below to create shadow copy storage space on the backup volume:
vssadmin resize
shadowstorage /for=<ForVolumeSpec> /on=<OnVolumeSpec> [/maxsize=<MaxSizeSpec>]
More Information
Vssadmin resize shadowstorage
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc788050.aspx
Symptom Two
When you add
another external hard drive to backup schedule via Windows Server Backup on Windows Server 2012, it fails and you receive the error “The System cannot find the path specified.”
Cause
The issue is due to the
Original Destination Disk was not attached to the server.
Verify
You could check the disk status in Disk Management to see if the Original Destination Disk is offline or removed.
Solution
You need to attach
Original Destination Disk to the Server then choose another external hard drive as backup target. After that, you could remove the Original Destination Disk.
Workaround
To work around this issue, please use the WBADMIN command line tool to add disk.
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP -addtarget :{ DiskID}
The AddTarget parameter takes disk ID as parameter. It can be retrieved by running "WBADMIN GET DISKS" command.
Example:
WBADMIN ENABLE BACKUP
-addtarget :{ aa123d14-bba0-1dd9-0d93-80aaaa6bbb63}
More Information
Wbadmin enable backup

Background Scheduling - Deadline Monitoring

Hi Experts,
I have created new maintenance plan , its around 250 for Mechanical and 250 for Electrical
Maintenance plan having strategy like every two month , every three month , every six month etc..
Scheduling period is 3 year
Now scheduling will be done through IP10 one time , but after first call object scheduling will get hold.
I want to make it background scheduling - Deadline Monitoring
Now the requirement is , For Example :
Maintenance plan X have PM plan date is 21.07.2014
Maintenance plan Y have PM plan date is 24.07.2014
Maintenance plan Z have PM plan date is 29.07.2014
As per above example each equipment will have different plan date , background scheduling can be done through IP30 but by the date is concern how can make it possible ?
Please advise each maintenance plan has to be run as per their plan date.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi Mr.Jogeshwara,
Nice Document , Its really useful
But my query is each equipment have different plan date , as explained in above example
If Maintenance plan have Cycle Unit 60 day and Plan X date is on 21.07.2014 then 21.07.2014+60day , same as if maintenance plan Y date is 25.07.2014 then 25.07.2014 +60day
Like that
background scheduling needs to be done as per cycle unit
If i will do background scheduling together of both the above maintenance plan X and Y then scheduling will be run exactly after 60 day and order will be generated in advance for Maintenance plan Y.
Hope you understand my query.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Background Scheduling Z Report

Hi,
I have developed one report , it can output its result in alv report and excel file, So my requirement is to schedule the report and in background only email the report to the specified email id's. How can I achieve functionality of background scheduling and automatic email.
I know we can do background scheduling with SA38 or SM36/SM37 but upon scheduling it is not saving my excel file at desired location.
Ankesh

You should search forums about this....
You will need to save to the SAP Application server (in a folder which has write permission for SAP jobs) and possibly FTP to some shared drive within the network. Local PC, local MS network, like C:\, D:\, etc. is not visible to a background job, since there is NO GUI/PRESENTATION server involved in a background job. Outside of MS Office, an .XLS file is an unknown file type, probably.... how do you think you're creating a .XLS file in a background SAP job?

Background Scheduling is not triggered

Hai all,
We are doing ecc6.0 upgrade from 4.6c. While creating a production order the order number should be automatically updated in a z-table(using user wf_batch).
For this they are using a Function module which is scheduled for every 5 min. The FM is stored in a business object.
But whenever we create a production order, the background scheduling was not triggered.
We are not able to find the program for this scheduling.It shows no jobs were found.
How to schedule the Function module or the business object? or is there any other way to execute the business object or find the job in SM37?
Regards,
Kumar C
