Delay between step in job scheduling

Hi Experts,
Can anyone give me a idea about steps in job scheduling,and how to set a delay between steps in job scheduling in Tcode SM36 metion if there is any settings available or i have to code it in SE38.
Thanks in advance.

Job Scheduling Management vs SAP CPS

Hi Guys
I am trying to find out what are the differences between using the Job scheduling management tool in Solution manager and SAP CPS integrated into Solution manager. What are the benifits of using CPS as opposed to using the "standared" job scheduling tool.
santosh

Hello Santosh,
the link that you already got is good. Perhaps you also want to check out [http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQJobSchedulingManagement|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SM/FAQJobSchedulingManagement] and [SAP is first vendor to provide a comprehensive Job Management Suite |SAP is first vendor to provide a comprehensive Job Management Suite] for further information.
In short SAP CPS is an advanced scheduling tool like which competes against other like UC4, Control-M from BMC etc. But all these tools do not provide any real job documentation or job request functionality in order to get the process governance right. That's where the SolMan gets into the game.

Obtain Job invoker for a SSIS job scheduled in SQL Server Agent

Hello,
I was required to tell the job runner of a particular SSIS job scheduled in SQL Server Agent (in SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2). I noticed that after running the job, a record can be found in msdb.dbo.sysjobhistory in the [message] columm saying that
the job is invoked by 'Domain\User'. Is there anyway I can acquire and upload that information into an audit table by adding some additional script into the job? I heard about using token to get job_ID, but what about the actual user name who runs
the job?
Thanks

Just add retry attempts to whatever number you want (2 as per your original explanation) in Job step properties as below
Have a logic to include a delay of 10 mins . You can make use of WAITFOR function for that

Job Schedule Management

Hi,
We recently upgraded our Sol Man system to EHP1 and we are in the process of Job Shedule Management. We imported few jobs from managed system and while monitoring ,getting error Business Proccess not created.
Could any one please tell me one thing, shall we need to setup Business Process Monitoring prior to setup Job Schedule Management? Please explain high level end to end Job Schedule Management steps.
Thanks & Regards
Srinivas.

Hi Srinivas,
please have a llok under https://service.sap.com/jsm to find further links to important SAP notes that explain a lot. You can also find iTutors about JSM under https://service.sap.com/rkt-solman.
Generally speaking BPMon is NO prerequisite for JSM. But as you probably saw during the import you have to assign your documented job either to a logical component (esp. meaningful for system related jobs like housekeeoing spool or dumps) or you assign to a business process step. An assignment to a logical component is a minimum requirement!
For a business process step assignment you need to maintain processes either in the project part or in the solution directory of SAP Solution Manager.
An active BPMon is only needed if you want to monitor background jobs and want to make use of the integration between JSM and BPMon.
You should also look for Blog and Forum entries of Martin Lauer in order to get further JSM insights.
By the way: If you should encounter some functional problems you can open an OSS message on SV-SMG-PSM.

Running Job Scheduler in Restricted Session

I want the database to be in Restricted Session while my ETL load is running via the Job Scheduler so that users will not be able to access tables during the load. When I put it in restricted session however all scheduled jobs cease to run. What user needs Restricted Session privilege? Is it DBSNMP? Is this an acceptable practice?
Thanks,
Susan

Hi Susan,
Sorry for the delay in replying, I was testing this out and talking with another developer. It turns out that you are right.
The Scheduler will not begin running any new jobs or new job chain steps while the database is in restricted mode.
This is intended behaviour and there is no workaround for this. The job coordinator will simply not start any new jobs if it sees that the database is in restricted mode.
This design choice was made a long time ago and isn't currently planned to be changed (although there have been some questions about it so it may in future).
Unfortunately you will need to find another way around this.

External tools for monitoring job scheduling

Hello All,
Please give me the infomation on third party tool used for monitoring the process chains, handling issues and job scheduling.
Also why do we need third party tools and what are the available third party tools..

Hi,
Giving you a scenerio,
Data load from Oracle to BI. Flow is
Oracle 7.0 --> Oracle 10G Daily refresh
Oracle 10G --> BI 7.0 Daily load ones Oracle 10G refresh complete
how BI 7.0 will understand if 10G refresh is complete ?
Need a triggering/scheduling tool which triggers events that this step is complete.
These tools usually reads a small file usually kepts on servers using FTP ones one step is complete. Such tools read if the file is available ( based on conditions provided, like check between 2am to 3am if file has arrived etc.) and ones available they trigger an even and next process starts
E.g. MAESTRO is used in such case.

Job scheduling

Hi Friends,
i have a problem with job scheduling.
two jobs need to be scheduled. (job1 and job2)
i used
job_open.
submit job1 using parameters.
job_close.
then for second job.
job_open.
submit job2 using parameter2.
job_close.
when i go and look in sm37. i see when job1 is running the job2 is in release status.
but what we need is when job1 is running job2 should be in schedule status. it should start only after job1 is completed.
in the job2 job_close i used job1 as the PRED_JOBNAME.
but i when i run the program job2 is in released status , not in schedule mode.
is there any way we can make the job2 in scheduled mode instead of release.
can we use event to control this. if yes please let me know how we can do it.
Thanks

Hi,
As Appana wrote - i'm not sure there's a problem, but why don't u make one job with 2 steps? this way u will be perfectly sure that job2 (2nd step in the new job) will run only after job1 (1st step n the new job)...
Good luck

How to find Spool number for a 2 steps background job.

Hi All,
How to find spool number (and also the background job name ) for a 2 steps background job.
in the table TBTCO i can see step numbers but i dont get the spool number. Is there any link between TBTCO and TSP01.
Also after getting the spool number i need to drill down on ALV report. I hard coded the spool number and was able to drill down using BDC and call transaction but when i press back button it is not returning to the ALV report.
Thanks,
Shiva.

Which one creates the spool? (first one I guess)
What kind of spool? (WRITE, sapscript, smartform, pdf...)
Do you use special statements like NEW-PAGE, or other things?
Are you sure that the spools are generated by these jobs? (did you compare the spool generation times and job run dates to be sure...)

Background Job Scheduling

Hi,
I am scheduling a report to run in background.
In this report it is creating background jobs automatically for different company codes.
It submits the 1st background job and waits until it finishes.
Then 2nd job starts in background and continues with other jobs.
At end it finishes all the jobs and closes.
Now my problem is.
1.       Whether is it possible for us to submit all the jobs at 1 time. And execute at same time. Ie., 1st, 2nd job will start at same time.
2.       If possible how can we do that.
What I have written is
loop at companycode.
Create job name.
call fun 'Job_Open'.
submit xxxx user sy-uname via job job_name numer job_count
to sap-spool
spool parameters l_spool_parameter
without spool dynpro
with companycode
with ......
and return.
endloop.
Please help ASAP, urgent.

hi praveen,
Job Scheduling Explained
Definition
Before any background processing can actually begin, background jobs must be defined and scheduled. The scheduled time for when a job runs is one part of the jobs definition. There are several ways to schedule jobs:
From Transaction SM36 (Define Background Job)
With the "start program in the background" option of either Transaction SA38 (ABAP: Execute Program) or Transaction SE38 (the ABAP editor)
Through the background processing systems own programming interface. (Many SAP applications use the internal programming interface to schedule long-running reports for background processing.)
Through an external interface.
Scheduling Background Jobs
Use
You can define and schedule background jobs in two ways from the Job Overview:
·         Directly from Transaction SM36. This is best for users already familiar with background job scheduling.
·         The Job Scheduling Wizard. This is best for users unfamiliar with SAP background job scheduling. To use the Job Wizard, start from Transaction SM36, and either select Goto ® Wizard version or simply use the Job Wizard button.
Procedure
       1.      Call Transaction SM36 or choose CCMS ® Jobs ® Definition.
       2.      Assign a job name. Decide on a name for the job you are defining and enter it in the Job Name field.
       3.      Set the jobs priority, or Job Class:
·         High priority:      Class A
·         Medium priority: Class B
·         Low priority: Class C
       4.      In the Target server field, indicate whether to use system load balancing.
·         For the system to use system load balancing to automatically select the most efficient application server to use at the moment, leave this field empty.
·         To use a particular application server to run the job, enter a specific target server.
       5.      If spool requests generated by this job are to be sent to someone as email, specify the email address. Choose the Spool list recipient button.
       6.      Define when the job is to start by choosing Start Condition and completing the appropriate selections. If the job is to repeat, or be periodic, check the box at the bottom of this screen.
       7.      Define the jobs steps by choosing Step, then specify the ABAP program, external command, or external program to be used for each step.
       8.      Save the fully defined job to submit it to the background processing system.
       9.      When you need to modify, reschedule, or otherwise manipulate a job after you've scheduled it the first time, you'll manage jobs from the Job Overview.
Note: Release the job so that it can run. No job, even those scheduled for immediate processing, can run without first being released.
Specifying Job Start Conditions
Use
When scheduling a background job (either from Transaction SM36, Define Background Job or CCMS ® Jobs ® Definition), you must specify conditions that will trigger the job to start.
Procedure
Choose the Start condition button at the top of the Define Background Job screen.
Choose the button at the top of the Start Time screen for the type of start condition you want to use (Immediate, Date/Time, After job, After event, or At operation mode) and complete the start time definition in the screen that appears.
For the job to repeat, check the Periodic job box at the bottom of the Start Time screen and choose the Period values button below it to define the frequency of repetition (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or another specific time-related period). Then choose the Save button in the Period values screen to accept the periodicity and return to the Start Time screen.
Once youve completed specifying the job start conditions, choose the Save button at the bottom of the Start Time screen to return to the Define Background Job screen.
No job can be started until it is released, including jobs scheduled to start immediately. Since releasing jobs can be done only by a system administrator from the job management screen (Transaction SM37) or by other users who have been granted the appropriate Authorizations for Background Processing, no unauthorized user can start a job without explicit permission
Managing Jobs from the Job Overview
Use
The Job Overview, or Job Maintenance, screen is the single, central area for completing a wide range of tasks related to monitoring and managing jobs, including defining jobs; scheduling, rescheduling, and copying existing jobs; rescheduling and editing jobs and job steps; repeating a job; debugging an active job; reviewing information about a job; canceling a job's release status; canceling and deleting jobs; comparing the specifications of several jobs; checking the status of jobs; reviewing job logs; and releasing a job so it can run.
Procedures
To display the Job Overview screen, choose CCMS ® Jobs ® Maintenance or call Transaction SM37. Before entering the Job Overview screen, the system first displays the Select Background Jobs screen. You'll need to complete this Job Selection screen to define the criteria for the jobs you want to manage. Once you've selected jobs to manage, you can choose from a wide range of management tasks:
To copy a single existing job, choose Job ® Copy.
To reschedule or edit job steps or attributes of a single job, choose Job ® Change. A job step is an independent unit of work within a background job. Each job step can execute an ABAP or external program. Other variants or authorizations may be used for each job step. The system allows you to display ABAP programs and variants. You can scan a program for syntax errors. You can also display the authorizations for an authorized user of an ABAP job step.
To repeat a single job, choose Job ® Repeat scheduling.
To debug an active job, choose Job ® Capture: active job. Only a single selection is allowed. If an active job seems to be running incorrectly (e.g., running for an excessively long time), you can interrupt and analyze it in debugging mode in a background process, and then either release it again or stop it altogether.
You will be able to capture a background job only if you are logged on to the SAP server on which the job is running. To find server information in the Job Overview, select and mark the job, then choose Job ® Job details.
To review information about a job, choose Job ® Job details. Details displayed can include:
current job status
periodicity, or the repetition interval
other jobs linked to the current job, either as previous or subsequent jobs
defined job steps
spool requests generated by the current job
To cancel a job's "Released" status, select the job or jobs from the Job Overview list and choose Job ® Release -> Scheduled.
To cancel a job from running but keep the job definition available, select the job or jobs from the Job Overview list and choose Job ® Cancel active job.
To delete a job entirely, select the job or jobs from the Job Overview list and choose Job ® Delete. Jobs with the status of Ready or Running cannot be deleted.
To compare the specifications of more than one job, select the jobs from the Job Overview list and choose Job ® Compare jobs.
To check the status of jobs, select the job or jobs from the Overview Job list and choose Job ® Check status. This allows you to either change the job status back to Planned or cancel the job altogether. This is especially useful when a job has malfunctioned.
To review job logs, select a job or jobs with the status Completed or Canceled from the Job Overview list and

Hi,
not sure if the recommendations given will address this issue.
You are getting this error:
BR0301E SQL error -1017 at location BrDbConnect-2, SQL statement:
'CONNECT /'
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
the log file indicates:
> No application server found on database host - rsh/gateway will be used
This indicated that the user that is connecting from the AS to the DB server is not properly configured to perform the DB tasks on it.
So, first question would be to know if you have configured a gateway on the DB server and how, or if you are using remote shell.
Second question, you can do backups on the DB server.
> I can run backupjob sucessfully directly from BRtools on database server
How did you run exactly the backup job (what is the exact command line, what is the exact OS user that executed it)?
What is the OS of the DB server?
I have reread your post, your OS is windows therefore you fall in the "typical" error in Windows.
You have executed your backup as <sid>ADM and it works. Unfortunatelly, in windows, SAP is exectuted by SAPSERVICE<sid>, and this is the user who should be connecting to your DB server, and this is the user who cannot execute the backup.
The fact that you can run the backup with <sid>ADM in Windows does not means that you have SAPService<sid> properly configured.
For the error (see before) I think your ops$ user for this user is not properly configured in the DB server. take a look at the note mentioned by KT and pay attention to the SAPSERVICE<sid> configuration

Hi any one please explain background job scheduling

Hi any one please explain background job scheduling . Good answer can be rewarded.
Thanks

Background jobs are pgms that are scheduled to be run in the Background without user interaction. So this can be done only for Type 1(executable) Program and not for Module-Pool Programs. Typically, a variant is defined and the pgm is run using the same.
The transaction code is sm36 -Define Background job. Using the Start Condition tab you can define when you want the job to run (specific time or if it has to follow after a particular job is done etc.,) Using the Step tab you can assign the pgm name and variant.
After the job is scheduled, you can check the status in sm37, along with the Job log and Spool.

What is the spool, what is its role in background job scheduling

Hi,
I want to know what is meant by Spool request and spool number generated.
Tell about transaction SP01.
How it is linked to Background job scheduling.
thanks.
sam.

Hi,
Refer this link.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/inf?rid=/library/uuid/7a5f4061-0a01-0010-c9bc-a4e4cb100438
About SP01.
Printing does not work in SAP. There is a printer definition for your local printer, but it does not work. Presuming that you use the program SAPLPD on your computer.
Boot your computer and start only the SAPLogon and the SAPLpd program.
Delete all of your old print jobs in the SAP system (Transaction SP01).Generate only one new print job.
Check that there is enough resource in your computer. Check the free memory (Win 3.1x) and the free disk space (The lists are temporarily saved on your disk).
Open the SAPLPD and read the print log in the window. The printer definition must correspond with the parameters shown here.
Check that the standard printer is on the same lpt (Win 3.1: Control panel, Printer) as defined for the printer (usually lpt1).
In Transaction SP01 read the protocol of your print job. Do not generate new print jobs! Wait till the SAP system changes the status of the print job.
If you can not find the print job in SP01 anymore, then the print job was successfully printed out. If it didn't come out on your printer and the SAPLpd didn't indicate an incoming print job, then the connection was realised with another PC. Then SAP printer definition you used, does not correspond with your computer.
Scheduling Background Jobs:
1.        Background jobs are scheduled by Basis administrators using transaction SM36.
2.        To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name
and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each
scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.
company codes).
3.        While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified
(Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users
to find the spool request. The following parameters needs to be maintained:
a.        Time of printing: set to u201CSend to SAP spooler Only for nowu201D
b.        Name u2013 abbreviated name to identify the job output
c.        Title u2013 free form description for the report output
d.        Authorization u2013 a value defined by Security in user profiles to allow those users to access
this spool request (authorization object S_SPO_ACT, value SPOAUTH). Only users with matching
authorization value in their profiles will be able to see the output.
e.        Department u2013 set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
a search later.
f.        Retention period u2013 set to u201CDo not deleteu201D if the report output needs to be retained for more
than 8 days. Once the archiving/document repository solution is in place the spool requests could
be automatically moved to the archive/repository. Storage Mode parameter on the same screen
could be used to immediately send the output to archive instead of creating a spool request.
Configuring user access:
1.        To access a report output created by a background job, a user must have at
least access to SP01 (Spool requests) transaction without restriction on the user
name (however by itself it will not let the user to see all spool requests). To have
that access the user must have S_ADMI_FCD authorization object in the profile with
SPOR (or SP01) value of S_ADMI_FCD parameter (maintained by Security).
2.        To access a particular jobu2019s output in the spool, the user must have
S_SPO_ACT object in the profile with SPOAUTH parameter matching the value used
in the Print Specifications of the job (see p. 3.d above).
3.        Levels of access to the spool (display, print once, reprint, download, etc) are
controlled by SPOACTION parameter of S_SPO_ACT. The user must have at least
BASE access (display).
On-line reports:
1.        Exactly the same configuration can be maintained for any output produced
from R/3. If a user clicks u201CParametersu201D button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
u201CScheduling background jobsu201D section. Thus any output created by an online report
can be saved and accessed by any user authorized to access that spool request
(access restriction provided by the Authorization field of the spool request
attributes, see p. 3.d of u201CScheduling background jobsu201D section).
Access to reportu2019s output:
1.        A user that had proper access (see Configuring user access above) can
retrieve a job/report output through transaction SP01.
2.        The selection screen can be configured by clicking u201CFurther selection
criteriau2026u201D button (e.g. to bring u201CSpool request name (suffix 2)u201D field or hide other
fields).
3.        The following fields can be used to search for a specific output (Note that
Created By must be blank when searching for scheduled jobu2019s outputs)
a.        Spool request name (suffix 2) u2013 corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
u201CScheduling background jobsu201D section above).
b.        Date created u2013 to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
c.        Title u2013 corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in u201CScheduling background jobsu201D
section above).
d.        Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in u201CScheduling
background jobsu201D section above).
4.        Upon entering selection criteria, the user clicks the Execute button   to
retrieve the list of matching spool requests.
5.        From the spool list the user can use several function such as view the
content of a spool request, print the spool request, view attributed of the spool
request, etc. (some functions may need special authorization, see p.3 in
Configuring user access)
a.        Click the Print button   to print the spool request with the default attributes
(usually defined with the job definition). It will print it on a printer that was
specified when a job was created.
b.        Click the u201CPrint with changed attributedu201D button   to print the spool request
with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
c.        Click the u201CDisplay contentsu201D button   to preview the spool request contents. A
Print    and Download   functions are available from the preview mode.
Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request
Use
You want to export the contents of a spool request as a text file to the SAP GUI working directory or to a directory of your choice. The content of the spool request is downloaded as plain text without, for example, graphics, images, or specific fonts.
The following procedures are irrelevant for the PDF-based form printing integrated as of SAP Web Application Server 6.40, since the print data can be opened and stored as a PDF. See also Displaying and Printing PDF-Based Forms.
Procedure
Exporting to the SAP GUI Working Directory:
Choose Spool Request ® Forward® Export as Text.
The entire text is stored in your SAP GUI working directory in ASCII format.
A file of this type is named using the following pattern:
.txt
Example: ABC0000004327.txt
You require appropriate authorization for this function.
Exporting to a Directory of Your Choice:
With this method of exporting a spool request, the content of the spool request is first displayed and you then download the screen list as a text file to the directory of your choice.
       1.      Select the spool request to be exported and choose Display Contents.
       2.      In the case of SAPScript/Smart Forms documents, activate list display by choosing Goto.
       3.      Choose System ® List ® Save ® Local File.
       4.      Choose one of the available formats and confirm your choice.
       5.      Choose a directory and save the spool request.
By default, only the first 10 pages of a spool request are saved in a file. You can increase the number of pages to be saved by choosing Goto ® Display Requests ® Settings and making the desired entries in the Display Area group box.

SQL Server Proc1 executes some SQL Statement and starts some other SQL Stored Procedures. I open a SQL Management Studio Session "example session_id 105", trace the session 105 with the SQL Server Profiler.
I start Proc 1, when Proc1 starts the execution of Proc 2, the Profiler Trace shows a delay of 6 seconds between SP:StmtStarting "execute db..proc2 @SomeVar" and SP:Starting "execute db..proc2 @SomeVar".
All following executions of Proc1 in the Session 105 runs without a delay between SP:StmtStarting "execute db..proc2 @SomeVar" and SP:Starting "execute db..proc2 @SomeVar".
But when i open a new SQL Server Management Session "session_id 124", the first execution of Proc1 when it executes Proc 1, there is again the delay of 6 seconds between SP:StmtStarting "execute db..proc2 @SomeVar" and SP:Starting "execute
db..proc2 @SomeVar".
Proc 1 starts the execution of Proc2 with a simple execute statement like this:
Execute DB..Proc2 @SomeVar
So its not dynamic SQL.
What is SQL Server doing? I understand that SQL Server has to do some work when it executes the first time a Stored Procedure. But why is the SQL Server doing it in every new Session?
How can i prevent this behavior or how to make it faster?
Best Regards

>In my case the temp tables ruined the performance.
Creating temp tables takes time & resources. Temporary table usage should be justified and tested in stored procedures. There are cases when temporary table usage is helpful especially with very complex queries.
In your case it appears that not one but several temp tables were applied. That can be punishing.
Paul White's blog: "Ask anyone what the primary advantage of temporary tables over
table variables is, and the chances are they will say that temporary tables support statistics and table variables do not. This is true, of course; even the indexes that enforce PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints on table variables do not have
populated statistics associated with them, and it is not possible to manually create statistics or non-constraint indexes on table variables. Intuitively, then, any query that has alternative execution plans to choose from ought to benefit from using
a temporary table rather than a table variable. This is also true, up to a point.
The most common use of temporary tables is in stored procedures, where they can be very useful as a way of simplifying a large query into smaller parts, giving the optimizer a better chance of finding good execution plans, providing statistical
information about an intermediate result set, and probably making future maintenance of the procedure easier as well. In case it is not obvious, breaking a complex query into smaller steps using temporary tables makes life easier for the optimizer in
several ways. Smaller queries tend to have a smaller number of possible execution plans, reducing the chances that the optimizer will miss a good one. Complex queries are also less likely to have good cardinality (row count) estimates and statistical
information, since small errors tend to grow quickly as more and more operators appear in the plan.
This is a very important point that is not widely appreciated. The SQL Server query optimizer is only as good as the information it has to work with. If cardinality or statistical information is badly wrong
at any point in the plan, the result will most likely be a poor execution plan selection from that point forward. It is not just a matter of creating and maintaining appropriate statistics on the base tables, either. The optimizer does
use these as a starting point, but it also derives new statistics at every plan operator, and things can quickly conspire to make these (invisible) derived statistics hopelessly wrong. The only real sign that something is wrong (aside from poor performance,
naturally) is that actual row counts vary widely from the optimizer’s estimate. Sadly, SQL Server does not make it easy today to routinely collect and analyse differences between cardinality estimates and runtime row counts, though some small (but welcome)
steps forward have been made in SQL Server 2012 with new row count information in the
sys.dm_exec_query_stats view.
The benefits of using simplifying temporary tables where necessary are potentially better execution plans, now and in the future as data distribution changes and new execution plans are compiled. On the cost side of the ledger we have
the extra effort needed to populate the temporary table, and maintain the statistics. In addition, we expect a higher number of recompilations for optimality reasons due to changes in statistics. In short, we have a trade-off between potential
execution plan quality and maintenance/recompilation cost.

SSIS Package compiled successful, in SQL Server Integration Service package executed sucessful, But fail to run in MS SQL Job Scheduler

Hi Everyone,
I having a problem to transfer data from MS SQL 2005 to IBMAS400. Previously my SSIS was running perfectly but there is some changes I need to be done in order for the system to work well. Considers my changes are minimal & just for upgrades (but I did
include DELETE statements to truncate AS400 table before I insert fresh data from MS SQL table to the same AS400 table), so I compile my SSIS package & it run successfully & I passed it into MS SQL Integrated Service as 1 of the packages & manually
executed the package & the result is the same, that mean it was successful again but when I try to run it in a MS SQL Job Scheduler, the job failed with these message shown below as extracted from the job View history.

So I hope somebody can shed some hints or tips for me to overcome time problem of mine. Thanks for your help in advance. As I had scoured thoroughout MSDN forums & found none solution for my problem yet.
PS: In the SQL Integrated Services when I deployed the package I set the security of the packages to Rely on server...
Hope this will help.

Hi Ironmaidenroxz,
From the message “Executed as user: MSSQLServer\SYSTEM”, we can see that the SQL Server Agent job ran under the Local System account. However, a Local System account doesn’t have the network rights natively, therefore, the job failed to communicate with
the remote IBMAS400 server.
To address this issue, you need to create a proxy account for SQL Server Agent to run the job. When creating the credentials for the proxy account, you can use the Windows domain account under which you executed the package manually.

How to put a delay between Sender Adapter processing ?

Hi,
I'm using FTP type and I schedule the sender each 1hour. In that time, plenty of file has been added into the source folder.
The files are like this <file_name_###>.txt where the ### are a incremental number. PI can takes all of them in order thanks to this patern : <file_nme>*.txt, but when processing it takes all the file in one time.
I would like to put a delay between each file. Is it possible ?
Kind regards
Joseph BERTHE

Hi Joseph,
I need it because the receiver is a RFC adapter so I call a BAPI. But I want a unique call. So When the first file is eaten by PI it executes the BAPI, but during that time no one can execute that same BAPI. So I want to put a delay between each file.
> Delay between Sender Adpter Processing will not be possible .
But you can make the Interface work in EOIO fashion . by that your inputs will be processed one after the other .
Make the parameter "Quality of Service"- Exactly Once in order at your sender adapter level for this.
EOIO (Exactly Once In Order): Here Messages are delivered with the same queue name as in the same sequence that they were sent from the sender system. Message processing will be asynchronous in this case.
