BODI XI R2: downgrade batch job from 11.5.x to 11.0.x

Situation:
Job with similar required functionality is in a repository with version 11.5.x
Same functionality is required in a different project with repository version 11.0.x
Technical build, political reasons and split in organisation divisions prevents from using the 11.5.x repository. Upgrading to the newest environment (11.7.3.x) is not possible as not all jobs are signed off.
Due to the complexity of the job it is not really preferred to manually recreate the job in the 11.0.x environment. Estimate is at least 3 build days and the risk at mistakes.
Preferred is the same trick as upgrading jobs in a repository, but now to downgrade. But that seems not possible.
Any clues if there is a possibility to do this?

Kick.
As we progress we are going to recreate the interface in the 11.0.x environment.
I have not found any resolution to downgrading BODI code.
ATL files do have the version number listed, but also the content of the ATL file is different between the versions.

  • Parallel batch jobs from ABAP

    Hi all -
    Any good suggestions regarding the simplest way to submit and track parallel batch jobs from ABAP?  I have used the function modules in function group BTCH (E.g. BP_JOB_CREATE, etc.) in the past with good results but are there any more current and simpler approaches (E.g. class based)?  Running WAS 7.0 / ECC 6.0.
    Thanks,
    Pat

    This may not be the right forum for such a query. Post the query on the Managing oracle Applications forums.
    I am not aware of the GL jobs, but if a concurrent program is not uncompatible with itself, there is no problem running multiple jobs at the same time.
    Thanks

  • Point/Migrate batch jobs from Sybase(auto scheduled through Control-M application) to SQL Server 2005

    Hi,
    I am currently working in project where we need to migrate/point batch jobs to SQL server 2005. At this moment they are pointing to Sybase. Batch jobs are in .bat and .exe format. These jobs read in an external file, does some reformatting,
    and then loads it into 2 sybase tables. These jobs are auto scheduled through Control-M application.
    Any idea please ?
    Thanks,
    Chirag Patel

    Change your post to type 'Question' Chirag
    You would need to at least change the connection strings, and how you access SQL Server, but typically code changes are necessary.
    You unfortunately don't provide enough details. But it is not as trivial to just 'point' a bunch of jobs to a new target.

  • SAP BODS XI 3.2 - batch job, global variable, name includes apostrophe - why failing?

    Global Variable in batch job used to define user access (add/update/remove) - how do we handle the inclusion of an apostrophe in a name?
    Tested with wildcard prior to apostrophe, still failing.
    Any clues, please?
    Thank you.

    I believe you can not use any special characters in global variables name.

  • How to create a batch-job dynamically?

    Hello,
    I would like to create a batch-job from within my abap code.
    Therefore I want to determine a abap-report to be executed every X-Hours.
    Do you have some sample code for creating a batch job?
    I need to do it in abap because I want to create a TN to trigger the code creating the job.
    So the user interaction will be minimal to start a periodic batch job.
    thanks.

  • Batch job in a report program

    Hi Abappers,
    I have a peculiar scenario.
    My report has 2 PERFORMS lets say
    PERFORM1:
    PERFORM2:
    I have a DATE criterion in PERFORM 1.
    Based on that date only I have to execute my PERFORM2.
    Ex:   The Date consideration is Suspension of a Contract Date: which is 01/12/2010.(dd/mm/yyyy)
    Now based on the this date I have to execute the 2nd PERFORM.
    I mean I have to create a Sales Order on this date only.
    To summarize,Execution of a program in a future date whose date is dynamic in nature
    Can i achieve this using a BATCH JOB.
    Please tell me how to schedule a BATCH JOB for a future date.
    Can i call a BATCH JOB froma  REPORT.
    Please your inputs shall be of great help to me in solving my problem.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Sakshi,
    In that case of using the FM
    g_date is sy-datum.
    g_time is sy-uzeit.
    CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
      EXPORTING
    *   DELANFREP              = ' '

    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
    * MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
    *         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.
    In the above case how would the Job name get mapped to the Report. / Or / How can we assign the Job Name to the Report.
    There is no scope of giving the Report name in the FM.
    Can you please elucidate.(EXP parameters)
    By the way Thanks for your quick response.

  • Scheduled Batch jobs error : ora-01031 insufficient privileges

    I have created a batch job that runs my database backups on a windows 2000 server. This job works perfect from the command line with the following syntax:
    coldbackup.bat PROD
    I have tried to schedule this backup to run every evening as follows:
    at 01:00 /every:M,T,W,Th,F,S C:\coldbackup.bat PROD
    The batch job does run every morning but generates an error when trying to shutdown the database. The error is ora-01031 insufficient privileges and seems to be related to the 'connect / as sysdba' command. The job has been scheduled using the local 'Administrator' user, which have been added to the ORA_DBA group.
    I have thought of one solution and that entails hard-coding the username and password into the script, but that creates a security risk.
    Can someone explain this behaviour and possible provide a good solution.
    Thank you

    Solution: Yes, I have found the solution to my problem.
    I was trying to schedule the batch job from the command line and in doing so the job was running in a 'system' user.
    When I scheduled the job from the control panel --> schedule tasks I was able to enter the 'run as' username and password.

  • Regarding Batch Jobs for migration of data from client DB to our local DB

    Hi Folks,
    GoodDay, Previously I worked as a Oracle Developer and recently shifted into a BIG organisation as PL?SQL developer. Here my base work is with INTERFACES(Stored Procedure). That is retrieving data from client DB and need to put the data in our staging tables. For that i created 2 INTERFACES(stored procedures). One is for one time migration. No need to run on regular basis. The second one is to run regularly why because if any updations are done in client DB that should be replicate to our DB. For that we need to run a BATCH JOB regulary 24X7 basis.
    But i dont have any working knowledge on BATCH JOB creation and running. Please let me guide on this issue ASAP.
    Regards,
    Ramesh.

    You can try
    dbms_job(9i)
    or
    dbms_scheduler(10g)
    just out of curiosity.. tell me if you are interested...
    what you were doing as a "oracle developer" ( is it like writing only "sql" )...

  • Is there a way to access ABAP OO instances from a batch job report

    Hello,
    I am looking for a way to access ABAP OO instances from a batch job report. My circumstances are the following:
    I have got some ABAP OO coding that identifies other objects (class instances) that have to be processed (they have a DoIt method that does some calculation). As this processing is time consuming and performace relevant I have to parallelize this in batch jobs. This batch jobs however can only be "simple" ABAP reports according to SM36. The problem is now that I dont really know how to tell the batch job report what objects to process. Somehow I have to access theses instances from  that batch job report.
    Does anybody have an idea?
    Greetings
    Matthias

    Hi David,
    thanks a lot for your help. After a lot of searching on the net this seems to be the only way to cope with it. However I am not sure about the locking mechanisms and if its suitable for mass data processing. In the help page you suggested the following is stated which I do not fully understand::
    "The current lock logic does not enable you to set specific locks for the following requirements:
    ·        Many parallel read and write accesses
    ·        Frequent write accesses
    ·        Division into changeable and non-changeable areas
    Although the lock logic makes the first two points technically possible, they are not practical because most accesses would be rejected."
    Does this mean
    a) if I dont want to set "specific locks" for frequent write accessess I am fine
    or
    b) I am discouraged from use shared memory technics for frequent write accessess?
    In the latter case I will have a problem...
    What do you think?

  • Automatically output report to excel from a batch job

    We have business users who require that a standard report be run daily as a batch job and output to a printer, which is using a large pile of paper every day.  I have challenged the rationale for this without success, and am trying to find a way to continue to run the batch job but output the report to an excel file and e-mail it to a manager.  I know that this can be done by a good ABAP programmer, but I am trying to find a way to set up the batch job to do this without additional ABAP, as programming resources are very limited.  I would appreciate input from anybody who knows how to do this.

    Likely because your user is continuing to call the service in a Windows (classic) DOMAIN\username format, and not in the Claims identity it should be.

  • Bogus print from cycle count batch job

    Hi all,
    We are using cycle count process for certain materials.
    Two std batch jobs are used for this purpose.
    1. To create cycle count document in the system.
    2. To print created cycle count document.
    For last few days we are facing a strange problem. Cycle count print job is printing some documents which are not available in SAP Environment. (Tables IKPF and ISEG)
    Any pointers to solve the issue would be helpful.
    regards,
    Parshuram

    check the settings made for the print job.
    Use SM37 find your print job. Click the step button.
    What program do you use?
    put your cursor onto  the step line, then choose from menu GOTO > Variants.
    What selection criteria are used in the variant?

  • Batch Jobs Running during upgrade from 46C to ECC 6!

    Hi All
    We are currently due to run our upgrade in the next two weeks and I have one final concern. The only testing we have not done relates to batch jobs.
    Our upgrade stratergy is downtime minimised.
    Does anyone know any best practices or issues that could effect our upgrade?
    Cheers
    Phil

    Hi Phil,
    If I remember correctly all background jobs in SAP R/3 are de-scheduled by the upgrade process. You have to manually reschedule them after the upgrade so make sure you have good scheduling documentation (or consider the central job scheduling provided by SAP NetWeaver for the future).
    One tip is that you need to make sure that jobs started from other systems are postponed until after the upgrade too (e.g. data extractions to BI). The upgrade process cannot determine job schedules and dependencies in other systems/scheduling tools.
    Cheers,
    Mike.

  • Batch Jobs fail because User ID is either Locked or deleted from SAP System

    Business Users releases batch jobs under their user id.
    And when these User Ids are deleted or locked by system administrator, these batch jobs fail, due to either user being locked or deleted from the system.
    Is there any way that these batch jobs can be stopped from cancelling or any SAP standard report to check if there are any batch jobs running under specific user id.

    Ajay,
    What you can do is, if you want the jobs to be still running under the particular user's name (I know people crib about anything and everything), and not worry about the jobs failing when the user is locked out, you can still achieve this by creating a system (eg bkgrjobs) user and run the Steps in the jobs under that System User name. You can do this while defining the Step in SM37
    This way, the jobs will keep running under the Business User's name and will not fail if he/she is locked out. But make sure that the System User has the necessary authorizations or the job will fail. Sap_all should be fine, but it really again depends on your company.
