How to create a background job without a variant ?

Hi,
Go to se38.. specify the program name and execute Or use Tcode
On the selection screen specify the variant...
Then from the menu options choose program->excute in background...
In this way we can crate a backgroup job with out crateing any varinat for the report...

How to Create event, background Job & Assing event to backgroud job to trig

Hi Experts,
I want to trigger events in Backgroud for data scheduling purpose to automate.
I can able to create event in SM62. then i want to create background job in SM36 then how to assign to event in Background to trigger.
can anybody give some suggestion on this.
Best Regards
Siri

Hi,
There are two cases
1) to raise an event after the completion of a job
This can be done by using ABAP coding, trigger the event using a program by the 'RAISE' statement. The job can be scheduled to run in the background daily or weekly(or anything as per the requirements)
2) to run a job after an event
in the start condition of the job, give the event name which should trigger that job in the after event field.
or if you want to run multiple jobs after one event completes, give that event in the start condition of all the jobs.. or model a process chain which will run this jobs..
I hope this clrifies your doubt...

How to create a Background Job?

Hi All,
A ABAP List report is taking too long to run. It takes nearly 5 mints sometimes it is halted by a timeout. I would like to run this report as a background job. What's the transaction I should use & could U give me the steps. Also is it possible to schedule the Job to run on 1st of every month.
Thanks,
Kishan

1.programatically ( job_open , job_close)
2.thorugh sm36 ( defining a job & scheduling)
doing something programmatically certainly has an advantage of automation... there may be cases wherein depending on certain conditions u need to run different programs in the background.. so this can be incorporated in the program itself using if/else or other condition commands..
there may be numerous other differences too.
SM36 option is more of static one and programmitaclly is more on the fly scheduling a job.
Using SM36, it not a one time thing. If you want program to run at a specific frequency, say every 24 hrs, that also can be done.

Creating a background job with out Variant.

Hi Experts,
I'm developed one ALV report which is not having any selection-screen and Variant.
We can execute the program in fore ground but the user wants to be run in back ground and he wants to be created a spool requet for that report.
My Question is ...the above requirement is possible or not.
if your answer is yes then
How to create a variant for a report which is not having any selection-screen?
Can we creat a spool request manually ..means with in the report only through coding?
Thank you ,
Venky.

try this one...
you can submit your report in background and create spool...
An ALV report can be executed in background.. but if its an ALV Grid then spool will contain ALV list output. You can directly select execute in background even if you dont have any parameter on selection screen. or try below code...... if you want to create a spool from the report itself.....
I hope its useful

How to create a background job to replicate the datasource from R3 to BW?

Dear all
I always got error msg when use the RSA1 to do the relicate from R3. Did anybody can tell me how to do it in background? Thank you!
Jialin

Try this:
1) Go to tcode SE38 - ABAP Editor
2) Enter ABAP program name RSDS_REPL_RESET
3) Click on Execute
4) In the Selection-Screen, enter the source system to replicate from, or * if you want to replicate from all source systems.
5) If you just want to replicate BW 3.5 DataSource, enter ISFS as the Preferred Type. Or, if your preference is for BW 7.x DataSources, etner RSDS as the Preferred Type. If there is no preference, leave the field blank and it will replicate both types.
6) Go to the menu option Program > Execute in Background

How to identify what are all the events are created in background jobs?

Hi all,
how to identify what are all the events are created for background jobs. And what events gets triggered for a particular job.
thanxs
haritha

Hi Haritha,
JOB is a program which starts to a determined point of time and executes some standard programs in the system. JOBs can be planed to a determined point of time on the regular basis (every night, for example) or to some discret time moments. So, the JOB can be planed and then will be started automatically without the manual start.
Realtime programs are understood in the most cases as actual program execution which is started by somebody to the actual moment of time.
Typically per JOBs some special processes will be started that should be executed automatically and regularly: for example, IDOC application, some correction reports, statistic updates etc.
Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
Use
As of Release 4.6C, the Job Definition transaction ( sm36 ) provides a list of important standard jobs, which you can schedule, monitor, and edit.
Standard jobs are those background jobs that should be run regularly in a production SAP System. These jobs are usually jobs that clean up parts of the system, such as by deleting old spool requests.
for more information you can go thru the following thread:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/24/b884388b81ea55e10000009b38f842/frameset.htm
About Events:
Events have meaning only in the background processing system. You can use events only to start background jobs.
Triggering an event notifies the background processing system that a named condition has been reached. The background processing system reacts by starting any jobs that were waiting for the event.
Types of Events:
There are two types of events:
1.)System events are defined by SAP. These events are triggered automatically when such system changes as the activation of a new operation mode take place.
2.)User events are events that you define yourself. You must trigger these events yourself from ABAP or from external programs. You could, for example, signal the arrival of external data to be read into the SAP system by using an external program to trigger a background processing event.The event scheduler processes an event if the event is defined in the system.
For example, if a system (System 1) receives an event from another system (System 2), the event scheduler of System 1 processes the event only if it is defined in System 1. That event does not need to be defined in System 2 (the sending system).
You define an event by assigning a name (EVENTID) to it. When defining an event, you do not define the event arguments.
for more information you can go thru the following thread:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/fa/096e2a543b11d1898e0000e8322d00/frameset.htm
When you schedule the process chain or infopackages the jobs associated with it run in the background mode. In case you want to create a job for a specific activity you can do so in SM36. You would be creating jobs that would get executed in any one of the options:
1. Immediate
2. Date & Time
3. After event.
4. After job.
5. At Operation mode.
In case you want to view the job logs go to sm37.

How to schedule the background job daily twice?

Hi,
How to schedule the background job daily twice? any conditions?
Regards,
Srihitha

see the step by step procedure.
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 Send to SAP spooler Only for now
b. Name abbreviated name to identify the job output
c. Title free form description for the report output
d. Authorization 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 set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
a search later.
f. Retention period set to Do not delete 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 jobs 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 Parameters button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
Scheduling background jobs 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 Scheduling background jobs section).
Access to reports 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 Further selection
criteria button (e.g. to bring Spool request name (suffix 2) 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 jobs outputs)
a. Spool request name (suffix 2) corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
Scheduling background jobs section above).
b. Date created to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
c. Title corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in Scheduling background jobs
section above).
d. Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in Scheduling
background jobs 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 Print with changed attributed button to print the spool request
with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
c. Click the Display contents button to preview the spool request contents. A
Print and Download functions are available from the preview mode.

How to cancel the background job processing in ABAP programming?

Hi,
I have a requirement where i need to cancel the job depending on some constraint. My code is something like this:
Select some data from the table.
if sy-subrc = 0.
Do nothing.
Else
Cancel the job
call function 'BP_JOB_ABORT'
exporting
   jobcount                         = number
    jobname                          = name
EXCEPTIONS
   CHECKING_OF_JOB_HAS_FAILED       = 1
   JOB_ABORT_HAS_FAILED             = 2
   JOB_DOES_NOT_EXIST               = 3
   JOB_IS_NOT_ACTIVE                = 4
   NO_ABORT_PRIVILEGE_GIVEN         = 5
   OTHERS                           = 6
The above code is cancelling the job but it is throwing an exception called CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_MISSING because i dint pass job count. How can we find the job count of next job that is going to run? Or How to handle the exception which it is throwing. Even if i try to handle that exception something like this:
TRY
call function 'BP_JOB_ABORT'
exporting
   jobcount                         = number
    jobname                          = name
EXCEPTIONS
   CHECKING_OF_JOB_HAS_FAILED       = 1
   JOB_ABORT_HAS_FAILED             = 2
   JOB_DOES_NOT_EXIST               = 3
   JOB_IS_NOT_ACTIVE                = 4
   NO_ABORT_PRIVILEGE_GIVEN         = 5
   OTHERS                           = 6
RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_MISSING.
CATCH
CX_SY_DYN_CALL_PARAM_MISSING.
ENDTRY.
It avoids the exception but it doesnt cancel the job. I even tried with function modules like JOB_OPEN
JOB_SUBMIT,BP_JOB_SELECT,BP_JOB_ABORT and tried to build some logic using status overview table (TBTCO) and TBTCP (Jobstep overview table).
Can someone suggest me the right way to write this program ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Problem is solved.
Create an background job with 2 steps. The first step in the background job calls the program ZBACKJOB_STEP1. In the variant we have a wrong material number
If the material number is not found in Mara, the next step in the job should not get executed and the job should get cancelled..
In the above posts i had asked how do I get the job count of the job that is currently triggering the program at the runtimeu2026..If u see the below code uu2019ll get to know.. We have to use the standard structure TBTCM which captures the properties/characteristics of the job.

How to schedule a background Job based on events

Hi,
We are on 4.6 C.
We have a background job that has two ABAP programs.
We need to start the 2nd ABAP program only after the first one has run successfully.
If the second ABAP program does not run, the the job should have a status "FINISHED".
Help appreciated.
Thanks
Mala

Hi,
How to schedule a background Job based on events,please refer to the follow SAP help:
You can use events that have already been defined, or you can create new events for scheduling background jobs.
If you wish to use new events, do the following to implement the event scheduling:
Define and transport the event as a user event with transaction SM62.
You must define only event IDs; event arguments are not defined in the R/3 System. Instead, you specify event arguments when you schedule a job to wait for an event and when you trigger the event.
If you define a new event, you must also transport it to your production systems. The event transaction does not have a connection to the transport system. Instead, you must create a transport request for the event yourself.
Do this to transport an event:
Create a transport request.
Start the editor in the transport request and enter the following:
R3TR TABU <table name> where table name is BTCSEV for a system event ID, BTCUEV for a user event ID.
Press F2 with the cursor on the table name to call up the screen for specifying the table entries to transport. In this screen, enter the event IDs that you have created.
Save and release the transport request. Ensure that it is imported into your production system(s).
To trigger an event, add:
the function module BP_EVENT_RAISE to your ABAP program, or
the program SAPEVT to your external script, batch file, or program.
When your programs execute these keywords, an event will be triggered in the R/3 background processing system. The event-based scheduler is started immediately. It in turn starts all jobs that were waiting upon the event, subject to normal background processing restrictions, such as the requirement that the job has been released to start.
Schedule the jobs that are to run when your events are triggered.
You can schedule jobs for one-time start or to be started whenever an event is triggered.

How to schedule a background job in realtime

Hi,
Can you tell me how to schedule a background job in realtime.
give some example scenerios in scheduling the background jobs in realtime.
Thanks.
sam.

And also.....
There are two ways for you to handle,
one manually setting up the job through SM36 which is better and convinient,
secondly through program using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.
Find below steps in doing both:
Procedure 1:
1. Goto Trans -> SM36
2. Define a job with the program and variant if any
3. Click on start condition in application tool bar
4. In the pop-up window, click on Date/Time
5. Below you can see a check box "Periodic Job"
6. Next click on Period Values
7. Select "Other Period"
8. Now give '15' for Minutes
9. Save the job
Procedure 2 via Program:
Below is a sample code for the same. Note the ZTEMP2 is the program i am scheduling with 15mins frequency.
DATA: P_JOBCNT LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
L_RELEASE(1) TYPE c.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
JOBNAME = 'ZTEMP2'
IMPORTING
JOBCOUNT = P_JOBCNT
EXCEPTIONS
CANT_CREATE_JOB = 1
INVALID_JOB_DATA = 2
JOBNAME_MISSING = 3
OTHERS = 4.
IF SY-SUBRC 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
SUBMIT ZTEMP2 VIA JOB 'ZTEMP2' NUMBER P_JOBCNT
TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
WITH DESTINATION = 'HPMISPRT'
WITH IMMEDIATELY = SPACE
WITH KEEP_IN_SPOOL = 'X' AND RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
EXPORTING
JOBCOUNT = P_JOBCNT
JOBNAME = 'ZTEMP2'
STRTIMMED = 'X'
PRDMINS = 15
IMPORTING
JOB_WAS_RELEASED = L_RELEASE
EXCEPTIONS
CANT_START_IMMEDIATE = 1
INVALID_STARTDATE = 2
JOBNAME_MISSING = 3
JOB_CLOSE_FAILED = 4
JOB_NOSTEPS = 5
JOB_NOTEX = 6
LOCK_FAILED = 7
INVALID_TARGET = 8
OTHERS = 9.
IF SY-SUBRC 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

How to debug the background job in ABAP

Hi Guys,
Can anyone let me know how to debug the background job in ABAP.
Thanks in advance
peter

Hi,
Goto SM37 and see the log if any is there and based on that you can check the code.
you can't debug background job.
Create a Variant for the Program and
Schedule JOB in background:
Go to SM36 create a Job
enter Program and Variant for that program in STEP..
click on Start Condition
Click on DATE and TIME enter date scheduled Start and END times
click on Period Values
Click on HOURLY/WEEKLY etc
CLick on RESTRICTIONS also to use further criteria.
