Batch Job modification ( SM37)

Hi,
We have 1000 jobs running everyday, I need to add executing server name to all jobs. I know, we can add it keeoing job in change mode in SM37. But I would like to know, if this could be done as mass update. Thinking, if downloading existing jobs in spread sheet and add this data and upload it again? or any other method possible?
Thanks in advance!!

Hi Raj,
Maybe you can try LSMW and create new object for update purpose.

How to view ALL batch job details (SM37) at one glance ?

Dear all,
I am documenting all released batch job details, the information required includes the job name, client number, job frequency .. etc.

Batch job missing in SM37

hi,
How to find the missing batch job in sm37 which was scheduled to run on 10th jan 2012 but now if i go n check it the job is missing..Please help me in this..

Hi,
Please try executing by giving the part of the job name with wild cards (For ex., Z_SDVF06)and giving user name as * and give the time limit. There might be some error in batch job name or user name or combination you were giving.
Also please confirm was it working fine last time and executed successfully. The causes could be one of these.
1. Is there any stack upgrade / Support pack upgrade going on? Pl check with your basis whether they have stopped the mentioned BG jobs?
2. The user ID which schedules the job might have been expired. Try scheduling the job now and check.
3. There would have been some connection error before job execution.

How to write log information into SM37 batch job log

Hi,

After search the SDN, I can only get some information on how to write log into the application log displayed in SLG1, but that's not I want. I want to write batch log information, and check it in SM37.
If you have some solution or code to share, please. Thanks a lot.

I am not able to open a batch input job using SM37

Hi Gurus,
I am not able to open a batch input job using SM37. I enter SM37 through a well authorized ID. May be there is a authorization issue or may be not. I check all the check boxes even then it is not possible. Please help me.

Hi Amit Sharma,
If I am not wrong, the problem would be because you have not closed the job after creating it.
You must have used JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT but not JOB_CLOSE.
Job_Close is the FM which submits the created job to the background processing system.
Hope this resolves. If not, paste your code here so that we can have a look
Thanks,

Can U set breakpoint within a batch job and look at variables?

Hello friends,
I am trying to solve a problem that occurs within a program / transaction which can only be executed in background. The transaction in question is FPCOPARA and apparently this program cannot be executed in foreground.
If I understand well, we cannot set breakpoints within a background job and as a result we cannot inspect variable etc. during job execution. So the question is how to achieve the same goal within a batch job? How did you do it? As this is a standard SAP transacrtion, no program modification can be applied.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi......
After u have executed ur batch job..
go to sm37 >>select ur job using checkbox>>enter 'JDBG' in transaction box and press enter
now debugger will start ..initial it will go through system code..after after a while the debugger will reach to your code and den you can debug the remaining report....
all the best

Is it possible to have Multiple Spool requests in one batch job overview?

Hi,
While running one of my z program in back ground, there are two spools generated (one by write statement and one by OPEN_FORM statement and both the spools are available in SP01 Transaction), but when i see the job overview in transaction SM37, I only see one spool request (that of the last spool request). Can any body in the group please tell me is it possible to see multiple spool requests in the job overview of one Abap program and if yes, how?
Thank you.
Abinash

Hi Jayanthi,
Thank you for the link. But probably that discussion was also an unsolved one.
Anyway, does any one in the group think that display of multiple spools per one step job is dependent on client / SAP Server setting? Because as evident from the chain of mails in the link provided by Jayanthi, some people say that they see multiple spool requests for one program in batch mode job overview (SM37)? If yes, can some body tell me the required configuration?

How to find out batch job failure and taking action:

Normally We will monitor the batch jobs through transaction code sm37 for job monitoring. In SM37 we will give a batch job name date and time as input. In the first step we will check the batch job for the reason failure or check the spool request for the batch job for failures an help in analyzing the error
I understand from the my experience is that the batch may fail due to below reasons.
1.,Data issues : ex: Invalid character in quantity (Meins) field >>>> We will correct the corresponding document with correct value or we will manually run or request the team to rerun the batch job by excluding the problematic documents from the batch job variant so that it may process other documents.
2.Configuration issues : Materials XXXX is not extended for Plant >>>> we will contact the material master team or business to correct the data or we will raise sub contract call with support team to correct he data. Once the data been corrected and will request the team to rerun the batch job.
3.Performance issues : Volume of the data being processed by the batch job ,network problems.>>>Normally these kind of issues we will encounter during the month end process as there will lot of accounting transactions or documents being posted business hence it may cause the batch job failure as there is enough memory to complete the program or select queries in the program will timeout because of volume of the records.
4.Network issues. : Temporary connectivity issues in other partner systems :Outage in other partner systems like APO or other system like GTS will cause the batch job failure as Batch job not in position to connect other system to get the inforamtion and proceed for further steps.Nornmally we will check RFC destination status by running a custom program weather connectivity between system are in progress or not. then intimate other partner system for the further actions, Once the partner system comes online then we will intimate the team to restart or manually submit batch job.
Some times we will create a manual job by transaction code SM36.

I'm not sure what the question is among all that but if you want to check on jobs that are viewable via SM37 and started via SM36. The tables are TBTCP -Background Job Step Overview and TBTCO - Job Status Overview Table.
You can use the following FM to get job details:
GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO - Reading Background Job Runtime Data

How to get the list of batch jobs running in a specific application server

Hi Team,
I am trying to check in SM37 if there is any specific condition to get the list of batch jobs assigned to a specific target server but cant find any.
Is there is way to find the list of batch jobs assigned to run in one specific application server.( Target server specified in SM36 while job creation)

Hello,
This is what you can do in SM37.
Execute the list of batch jobs, when the result appears on the screen edit the ALV grid via CTRL+F7.
Now add the following columns "TargetServ" and "Executing server".
You will now have two extra columns in your result list.
TargetServr contains the value of the application server where the job should run when you have explicitely filled it in.
Often this is empty, this means that at runtime SAP will determine itself on which application server the job will run (depending of course where the BGD processes are defined).
Executing server is filled in always for all executed jobs, this is the actual application server where the job has run.
You can also add these two fields in your initial selection screen of SM37 by using the "Extended job selection" button.
I hope this isusefull.
Wim

How to find out Batch job

Hi Experts,
Currently I am facing an issue related to Batch job which sends an empty file to user.
I am not able to find out which job is sending that file to user.
I have checked in SOST transaction but it showing the sender as Batchadm. how to track down which batch job has triggered that empty file?.
Thanks in Advance
K Arasu

Look at the table TBTCO to know the Program name for a Job,
Or you can look at from SE36 also, just click an Overview then the program name and the Variant will be displayed
1) If you want to know the program used by the job
go to SM37, select a job and click on "step", each step used a program or an external command/program.
(2) If you search for job using a program*
On the initial screen of SM37, put the name of the program you search for.

How to find out the Batch job selection screen values

Dear Users,
One of our users has set up a Batch job by manually entering values into the Selection screen of a report instead of picking up a Variant. We would like to know the values entered on selection screen since the job has failed and the user doesn't remember the selection screen values entered.
Can anyone please advise if there is a way we can figure out the selection screen values entered?
Thanks,
Vijay

Hi,
You can debug your failed job by going to 'SM37', type in 'JDBG' in the command line ( no '/' ), put the cursor on the job and press enter - will take you to the job in debug mode.
You can do this only after the job has finished execution. This will simulate the exact background scenario with the same selection screen values as used in the job.
So type in the transaction code 'JDBG' and place your cursor on the job after It has finished. It will take you to a SAP program in debug mode. Step through this program which is about 10 lines, after this your program will be executed in the debug mode.
Check the selection screen values.
