How to determine the background job status?
Hi Gurus,
My program is as follows:
1. I have used FM job_open to open a new job.
2. SUBMIT to call another program which creates the file on application server.
3. FM job_close to trigger that job.
Now I want to determine the status of that triggered job (Not through SM37), Once I get a status for complete or cancelled I will be coding based on that.
So could you please help me out for the issue?
Thanks in advance.
hi ,
check table TBTCO.
YES. u can check for STATUS = P- Schedule/S---Released
regards
Prabhu

How to stop the background job "Sap_collector_for_job_statistic"
Dear All,
Kindly let me know how to stop the Background job "Sap_collector_for_job_statistic" which is running everyday.
We want to stop this background job.
Kindly suggest.
Regards,
MullairajaSelect the Job using SM37 transaction. In the Menu Choose
Job ---> Cancel Active Job.
Before you do this it may be good idea to check the pid using SM50.
It will be using a Background work process. Check the pid and the status.
Select the same and in the Menu Choose Process --> Cancel with Core.
Refresh and check in SM37 for the Active and Cancelled Jobs. -

Can anyone let me know how to debug the background job in ABAP.
Thanks in advance
peterHi,
Goto SM37 and see the log if any is there and based on that you can check the code.

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.
so your job will be scheduled and run as per your requirement.
and in SM37 Transaction check the status of that JOB
Check this link for scheduling jobs..

How to schedule the background job using current selection screen field val
Hello Friends,
How to schedule the background job using current selection screen field values.
after completion of the job the spool should be sent as a mail to SAP Inbox.
Is there any way to create the variant dynamically by reading the current selection screen values.
Thanks,
RaviHi,
To get the variant details you can use teh following FM.

How to schedule the background job daily twice?
Hi,
How to schedule the background job daily twice? any conditions?
Regards,
Srihithasee 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.
RashmiHi,
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.
REPORT ZBACKJOB_STEP1.
TABLES: MARA,TBTCM.
PARAMETERS : MATNR TYPE MATNR.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM MARA WHERE MATNR = MATNR.
IF SY-SUBRC IS INITIAL.
WRITE / : 'This is the material selected on the selection-screen' , MARA-MATNR.
ELSE.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO'
IMPORTING
EVENTID = TBTCM-EVENTID
EVENTPARM = TBTCM-EVENTPARM
EXTERNAL_PROGRAM_ACTIVE = TBTCM-XPGACTIVE
JOBCOUNT = TBTCM-JOBCOUNT
JOBNAME = TBTCM-JOBNAME
STEPCOUNT = TBTCM-STEPCOUNT
EXCEPTIONS
NO_RUNTIME_INFO = 1
OTHERS = 2.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_JOB_ABORT'
EXPORTING
JOBCOUNT = TBTCM-JOBCOUNT
JOBNAME = TBTCM-JOBNAME
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.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.

How to get the Background job name
Hi,
I am executing a report in background and i want to get the background job name in the same report program. How can i get the same.
Regards,
Rajgopal Dara.Hi,
for this fm is used 148 times in our system, I made a check program and it works:
report zsbatchfm.
data: xv_jobcn type btcjobcnt.
data: xv_jobnm type btcjob.
data: xv_stepc type btcstepcnt.
call function 'GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO'
importing
* EVENTID =
* EVENTPARM =
* EXTERNAL_PROGRAM_ACTIVE =
jobcount = xv_jobcn
jobname = xv_jobnm
stepcount = xv_stepc
exceptions
no_runtime_info = 1
others = 2.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
write: /1 'SY-SUBRC = ', sy-subrc.
else.
write: /1 'JOBCOUNT = ', xv_jobcn.
write: /1 'JOBNAME = ', xv_jobnm.
write: /1 'STEPCOUNT = ', xv_stepc.
endif.
commit work.
In online mode you get a SUBRC = 1, in batch mode you get the informations (here: in SPOOL)
Please check it on your system!

The lotus mail about the Background Job status
Hi ,
I have a requirement where SAP users want the status of the background job in their lotus mail.The problem is job takes run for more than 15-20 hours and some times gets failed too.Whichever is the status , they want the update. The job is run daily in the night.So can not be done in the same program. Writng different program to check and send the mail can be an option.
But My question would be
1.Is there SAP standard funtionality /progarm to send the job log (not the spool) in the mail?
Thanks in advance.Hi,
You can run another job in background which can monitor this original program. I would die and schedule itself in an hour for next status. the logic goes this way.
1) The original Z program call the Z job monitor prog with jobname.
2) The Z job monitor prog checks the status of job and will send a status mail on finished or cancelled.
3) if the job is still active, the z job monitor prog will schedule itself for after an hour to check the status again.
thus steps 2 & 3 would be in loop till the original z prog finishes or gets cancelled.

How to schedule the background job if report have Presentation server files
Hi All,
I have searched the forums and found , the way for the scheduling the background job if report selection screen have the presentation server file input.
1. Using the Open data set method.
And my client is not OK with Open dataset way, it there any other way to do this, As we are using the EXCEL file.
Thanks and Regards,
BharaniHi,
As said above it is generally not possible. Since your client most obviously doesn't like graphical background I would recomend storing data as till now, but show it with your own report in more userfriendly way. For example:
- as ALV Grid
- in excel with use of OLE either as embedded in SAP or new window (check transaction OLE for example)
- with use of webdynpro

How to find the background job exection?
Hi all,
when i execute a report in background, i should get a different output which is different from the foreground execution output.
so how to check this foreground, background execution in my coding?
Thanks,
ShanthiThe output is most likely anyway different: foreground to the presentation server; background to the spool server.
Perhaps you want to use different variants for the same selection screen of the same program?
In that case you can check system field sy-batch, and if 'X' submit it using variant 'A' else submit it using varint 'B' via the selection screen.
Take a look at transaction VARCH.
Cheers,
Julius
ps: If you do not want users to arbitrarily change the variant, it makes sense to lock it or control access to it... -

How to terminate the next job step in Background job?
Hi,
I have the requirement from the user that want to terminate the next job step in the background job that currently running (Status Active).
For example, Background Job A, contains 5 job step, once the background is running, we would like Job A not run thru job step 4 and 5, just run up to job step 3.
Anyone have any idea how can I do that?
Thanks
Nattawat S.Hi,
Try to delete instead of cancel in SM37.
To cancel and active job, select the job from SM37 and Click on STOP button in application toolbar. You can refer to your other thread for more info.
