Error in triggering background job

HI, I've been facing an error which a background job is being scheduled. The scenario is something like this ...
1) A third party schedulling system triggers a SAP job and monitors the progress
2) In SAP, the master job is been copied with a different user name and then released for processing.
3) There are multiple jobs which get triggered but there is one job which is causing a problem.
4) The job makes a copy an stays in a scheduled status without getting released. While i try to manually release the job it give me an error that cannot create record in the database.
5) Upon checking the system log it gives me this -  Error: INSERT background sched. table(job $$$$).
There is already an entry for the specified job in the table TBTCS.
6) While checking the TBTCS table i've found multiple entries out there. Should this table be empty or have information about the runtime of this job.
Please help as this background job is causing concerns in archiving processess defined.
Thankx in advance for your help.
Arvind.

the earlier problem of background job was solved by changing the  output device assigned to user wf-batch .
regarding the transport request :
when i was trying to execute the step : "Schedule bakgrd for missed deadlines " MANUEL it was giving me an option of SAVE AND SCHEDULE . which was creating the transport request . but when i executed it automatically it worked fine without asking a request to me ... i don't know why )-: ... probablly we can specify a different interval then the standard of three minutes and which will be transported (it's just a guess) . i have  executed it  automatically ...
well thanks all for u r help

  • Write the Error log from background Job to the Spool request

    Hi ,
    I have a situation where in i need to capture the error log of a Z program which runs as a background job and write that log into the spool request. My Z program calls runs RSEINB00 program using the SUBMIT statement. When this Job fails the error log can be seen in SM37. But i need this error log to be sent in to a spool.
    I can read the error log using the BP_JOBLOG_READ FM and can also create a spool using the RSPO_SPOOL_OPEN FM.
    The problem is, when the Submit statement executes, due to internal valdation in the RSEINB00 program the program terminates. Due to this it is not able to perform the SY-SUBRC Check and thus doesn't read the log.
    Can anybody suggest me how to overcome this problem. I am attaching the code for your refernece.
    SUBMIT RSEINB00
           USING SELECTION-SET 'TEST2'
                           TO SAP-SPOOL
                           LIST NAME 'LOCL'
                           IMMEDIATELY space
                           KEEP IN SPOOL 'X'
           AND RETURN.
    <b>If sy-subrc <> 0.</b>           
                 CALL FUNCTION 'BP_JOBLOG_READ'
                  EXPORTING
                    CLIENT                      = SY-MANDT
                    JOBCOUNT                    = i_tbtco-jobcount
                    JOBLOG                      = i_tbtco-joblog
                    JOBNAME                     = i_tbtco-jobname
                   TABLES
                     JOBLOGTBL                   = l_joblog
                 IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
                 else.
                    message i002 with l_joblog-msgv1.
                 ENDIF.
    <b>
    ENDIF.</b>
    Rgds,
    Kewal
    P.S. : any other approach to solve this problem will be appreciated too and the points will be rewarded suitably.

    If I select a job in SM37 and I click on "spool" I get a list with separate spool entries for each of the steps, e. g.
    Programmname/Kommand   Programmtyp   Spoolliste
    Z_MM_STAT_UPDATE_WERK  ABAP             1707445
    ZSLEEP                 Ext. Kommando
    Z_MM_STAT_UPDATE_WERK  ABAP             1707459
    ZSLEEP                 Ext. Kommando
    Z_MM_STAT_UPDATE_MARA  ABAP             1721423
    ZSLEEP                 Ext. Kommando
    Z_MM_STAT_UPDATE_WERK  ABAP             1721437
    Z_MM_STAT_UPDATE_MARA  ABAP             1721446
    Z_MM_STAT_UPDATE_WERK  ABAP             1721447
    Z_MM_STAT_UPDATE_VKORG ABAP             1721471
    ZSLEEP                 Ext. Kommando
    Z_MM_STAT_UPDATE_VKORG ABAP             1721521
    ZSLEEP                 Ext. Kommando
    Z_MM_STAT_UPDATE_VKORG ABAP             1721816
    It's in German but I'm sure you get the idea. For each Z_MM_STAT_UPDATE and variant I have a separate spool list that I can display.

  • Triggering background jobs

    What is the best solution to trigger background jobs within user exits?
    Currently the method I am using is quite cumbersome.
    1. Create user event in SM62
    2. Create background job attached to this user event.
    3. Within user exit call function module BP_EVENT_RAISE using user event.
    The problem I have with this approach is that in the program I have to add a 15 - 20 sec delay to handle record locking. Lets say I am in a user exit in MM02, triggering this event without the delay can lead to no records been processed.
    What are other ways of implementing this solution?
    Can I do a SUBMIT report VIA JOB
    or CALL FUNCTION IN UPDATE TASK.

    Try this way also.
    In the userexit update a custom table with document number + flag (pending for process)
    Create standalone program that to be scheduled like every 5 minutes (as you like ) search for this table and get all open documents (with flag eq space ) and process one by one.( Calling jobs)
    This will reduced number of repetative background jobs
    Say User A edit document 100 at 10.00 am and saves at 10.01 am and user B edit document 100 at 10.02 am and save it
    10.03 am ( so every save if you trigger a backgound job, unncessary create jobs for same document number 10 )

  • Error handling in background jobs

    Dear All,
    I have a program to update certain tables which I schedule as a background job.
    I need to find a way to handle errors and communicate the update status to the administrator/ job monitor.
    Some of the methods I can think of are:
    1. Use write statements in the program to write the status. Admin/ Job monitor can look up the job spool in SM37 and get the status.
    2. Store the status against each updated table in a custom table. Admin / Job monitor can check thru SE16.
    Is there any other way to communicate the job status.
    Thanks and Regards,

    I used the option :
    Use write statements in the program to write the status. Admin/ Job monitor can look up the job spool in SM37 and get the status. The same has been implemented in production by now.
    Cheers.

  • ORA-20000 error when executing background jobs in BI System

    Hello Experts,
    We newly installed NW2004s System. Few BI related background jobs are showing Error no: 4 or Error no: 3 in SM50. Also few BI related background jobs are giving error "ORA-20000 occurred when executing SQL statement (parse error offset=0)". Please let me know what does Error 4 or 3 mean in SM50 and how to resolve Ora-20000 error?
    Thanks

    This may be to do with insufficient authorization for the user (for creating statistics for example). Check OSS note 963760.

    I think that you have some master data inconsistency in the version.
    Please run the reports; /SAPAPO/OM17, /SAPAPO/TSCONS, /SAPAPO/TSLCREORGSNP
    You can also run Model Consistency check (t.code /SAPAPO/CONSCHK). First you have to define the Model (t.code /SAPAPO/SCC07) and the Profile (t.code /SAPAPO/CONSPRF).

  • Create background job triggered by another job

    Hi experts,
    I want to run FCHU in background everytime I finished run F110.
    I'm thinking to use background job creation SM36 - triggered by job. But the problem is, job created from F110 the job name is not fixed.
    Please anyone can give better idea ??
    Thanks,
    Melissa

    Hi melissa,
    The suggestion given by Prem is perfectly Ok.
    I would suggest you to create an event  by sm62 and then create an event triggered  background job which will run the FCHU in Back ground.
    So you need to get an enhancement point in F110 and put the code of triggering the event .
    If there is no enhancement  then you can create a program which will call the Transaction F110 by using CALL TRANSACTION statement and after F110 processing the control will get back to your program and you can write a code for triggering the event by using the FM SWE_EVENT_CREATE.
    I hope this will help you
