Define a Job

Hello all,
I have to create a JOB but I never worked with JOBs before. Please, help. This is urgent.
I need to create a JOB that will contain 4 existing Jobs (4 steps). The 4 existing Jobs and the Job sequence are:
Step 1:
Job = Z_Delivery
Program/Comand = ksh and ZLO_SD_BI_0009
Parameters/Variant = interfaces/ opLO1/bin/oplft_delivery/ICP-SAP dlvry ED and USERAB
Step 2:
Job = Z_Inbound_Issue
Program/Comand = ksh and ZVI_0016_BAPI
Parameters/Variant = /interfaces/ opLO1/bin/ oplft_in_issue/ICP-SAP inissue ER1 and USERAB
Step 3:
Job = Z_Warehose_Mov
Program/Comand = ksh and ZLO_MM_IN_0002
Parameters/Variant = /interfaces/opLO1/bin/oplft_moviments/ICP-SAP mov ER4 and MOVIMENTS
Step 4:
Job = Z_Tracking
Program/Comand = ksh and ZLO_SD_BI_0010
Parameters/Variant = /interfaces/opLO1/bin/oplft_tracking/ICP-SAP track ET and TRACKING
NOTE: Gather all Jobs in one Job. The cancellation of one Job will NOT cancel the other steps.
Help me out!!!!!
Thks & Rgds,
Amanda

it's very simple:
Tcode SM36
define the job name and create the steps by pressing the 'step' pushbutton.
set the program name and variant, check and save.
repeat for all steps.
then press button 'start condition' to define when the job starts and if it is repeteable.
pls. reward points for this help

What are the selections when defining a job triggered by an event?

I use SM36 by defining a job triggered by an event. I click "Start conditions" button, then click "After event" button and place the event name. I wonder if I would have to continue to click the button "Immediate" button and save it? or just save it without clicking the "Immediate" button?
Thanks and this question is urgent!

Hi!
No you only save and after define the step!
If you click Immediate, your job start immediatelly and not after event.

Defining Successor Job permanently in SM36/37 ????

hi,
i have created a job in SM37.
I have created a second job, which should run directly AFTER the first job (when succesfull).
i have defined to run this jobs EVERY day.
So far, so good. at the FIRST day the succesor job was okay. job 1 was running, and directly after
that Job 2 was running.
On the second day ONLY Job 1 was running. The connection to the other job is not there anymore.
any ideas ?
reg, Martin

Hi,
You must use "predecessor" functionality (be careful: you must create job A as scheduled (no start condition), then create/release job B with A as predecessor, then define start condition for job A).

Redwood CPS - how to define dependant jobs?

Hi
I am trying to schedule a job to run only after another job has ran successfully using Redwood CPS. I understand that the best way to do this is as follows:
1) Define an new event - e.g. JOB_COMPLETION
2) Define a new Job Chain, and assign a Step and a the first job to run to this. Set the 'Raise Events' tab to JOB_COMPLETION and the drop down box 'Status To Raise On' to 'Completed'
3) Define another new Job Chain with a Step and the next job you want to run after completion of the first job. Set the 'Wait Events' tab to JOB_COMPLETION and Auto Submit to 'Always' and tick the 'clears event' tick box
4) Right click on the first Job Chain and Submit - set a time for the job to run.
What happens: the first job chain/step runs okay. Looking at the event JOB_COMPLETION it says both the Raise Event and Wait Event were both executed - and cleared afterwards - yet the second Job Chain was never ran? In the job status, it says 'Never'.... any idea how I get this to run on completion of the first job?
Thanks
Ross

Answered in the CPS forum:
Hi Ross,
I think the best way to do it is to just use the jobchain object. You can do as follow:
- Create a jobchain with 2 steps
- First script in the first step, second script in the second step
By default, script 2 does not run if script 1 failed.

How define background job, after a job, daily

Hi Gurus!
i need to create several Jobs, one after another. i'm working with R/3 enterprise.
I can create a Job after another, but I can't put it daily.
anyone knows how I can define job, after a specific job, daily???
THANKS!!!!

Hi Oscar,
If you want to execute the Background jobs one by one(sequence order),
Goto SM36 and create a Background job, then create another job then press Start condition, in this one there is a tab after JOB, here give the job name, os the will be run after this job complets
another way is there, if you want to run the jobs in a sequence, there is a TAB called STEP, create a Job name then press the tab STEP, here give the first job name then press the create button then create the second job name.. like this you can give N number of background Programs one by one
hope you got the answer
Thanks

How to create an EVENT when defining a JOB

Hi,
I would like to run an abap program in background after a process order has been saved (transactions COR1-COR2).
In the save exit (EXIT_SAPLCOZV_001) of the process order, I create the job that will run the abap program. after the process order is saved
I created an event with SM62 but I do not know how to set it up.
Or may be there is another solution.
Thanks for your help.

You can use the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE to raise the event. This can be called inside your user exit.
First create an event in SM62.
Now go to SM36 and create the job and give the ABAP program name you want to execute. Under START DATE select option AFTER EVENT. Then enter your SAP event name. After entering other information save the job.
Please see this site for more info.
http://www.sapfans.com/sapfans/sapfaq/robert.htm
Events are mainly used to trigger from outside SAP.
Thanks

Hi Juan,
I agree but that is why my initial question was why is this needed in the first place? I mean why can't load balancing be used.
Also there is one issue with this step. This step is all fine if you are creating the job through SM36. If however it is done via SE38 then you cannot schedule any job immediately. You will have to give a future time. The go to Sm36 modify the job and give execution server and then release it immediately. Well in this scenario we have couple of extra steps that end users might find inconvenient at times.
With regards.

Defining Job with multiple steps

This is a general question on SM36.
I have 4 programs that need to run as part of a job. I do not want this as a periodic job because these 4 steps needs to be done by the user when needed.
I defined a job and created 4 steps and saved. system showed the job is scheduled and then I released it. All the 4 steps ran successfully.
Now if I want to run again the same job, system is prompting me to create the steps again. I do not want to do that every time i want to run the job. how can I save this 4 steps under a job and just call the job name to schedule immediately on demand/when needed?

Swathi,
Create the job, leave the job with a status of 'scheduled' (no start conditions).
When the user wishes to run the job: SM37 > select your job; then Job > repeat scheduling. The user will have to determine the trigger; presumably it will be 'Immediate'; however, any of the normal selections are possible.
This activity will start a copy of your scheduled job. Your job remains with a status of scheduled.
Since it is so easy for a user to make a mistake and inadvertently release your job, you might want to create a backup copy. SM37 > select your job; then Job > copy. This will give you a screen where you can create a copy of your job, but with a new name, such as <yourjobname>_BAK.

How to define job with different username

Friends,
How can I define a job with another username . Or how can I change a job running with a user name to another username. Please advise.
Thanks.

You can change the ID of the user than is used to run each step of the job, but not the user that created the job. In SM37 go into the job of interest (the next scheduled job) choose Job -> Change. From here choose the steps and go into each job step by choosing Change, the first field in the pop-up holds the user ID that will be used to run that step when the job is executed.
The user ID that created the job will still show in the SE37 job overview, it it nolonger plays an active part in the job.

Defining jobs in EM10g

hey guys i need your help badly. i will defining around 10, 000 jobs in EM. Is there a faster way to define jobs a lot faster than what i am doin right now which is defining the jobs one by one. For example, could i just insert these jobs and their details in the repository?? Pls help..

There is an emcli call that you can make to submit_job. You can write a script that calls that interface 10,000 times, given that your task is automateable.

How to define front-ground job

Hi
I know to use SM36 to define background job. but there is some formal problem if we run ABAP rerport in background. So, I want define a job in front-ground at night.
anybody can tell me that how to define a job in front-ground at night!
Thanks
Henryr

It sounds as if you need to change the print format settings so the report will fit on the page, or remove columns from the report.
You can change the print specifications in SM37 via the "Print specifications" push-button in the job step creation dialog. In the "Background print parameters" pop-up, select your printer and then the "Properties" push-button. That leads to a pop-up where you can change the print format i.e. the number of columns printed on the page.
best wishes

Need to run the JOB without Ineractive Screen

Dear All,
We have written a new ABAP program for executing the Macro background Job and used JOB_OPEN,JOB_SUBMIT and JOB_CLOSE Function Modules to run the JOB from ABAP Program. We are able to run the JOB successfully for Any other ABAP Programs through the custom program, but when I tried with the same approach to run the Macro job through my new ABAP Program the JOB is throwing an error.
Error Message is like below
Job started
Step 001 started (program /SAPAPO/TS_BATCH_JOB, variant TEST, user ID GKMN3511
Specify a start time
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
Point of doubts:
-- Can we really execute the Macro job through the ABAP program with out any dialogue screen (because when I use the "/SAPAPO/MC8G - Schedule Demand Planning in the Backgroundu201D program in my custom program it pop-ups a interactive screen which I don't want in my ABAP program while scheduling the macro job)
Regards,
Raju

In transaction /sapapo/mc8t --> define the activity that looks at the macro in question
In transaction /sapapo/ mc8d --> define the job that looks at that activity and a selection iD/aggregation level
In transaction /sapapo/ts_batch_run --> save a variant pointing to the job defined in mc8d
you can then run the /sapapo/ts_batch_run job with that variant

Hi
Are you logged into the correct isolation group ?
Ensure the process server is also assigned to the queue.
