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 SAP background job at OS Level

Hi All,
Can Anyone tell me how to Schedule SAP background job at OS Level (unix).
Regards,
Anil

Hi Anil,
I donu2019t know your requirements, anyway itu2019s possible to setup your SAP job in order to start after an event, and after that you can get the event triggered from the Operating System in the following way:
- log into you Operating System with the SIDadm user id (at the Operating System level) and go to directory /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run
- Run the SAPEVT executable as follows:
sapevt YOUR_EVENT -t pf=/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile/DEV_DVEBMGS00_server001 nr=01
This will raise the event, and cause the job scheduled within SAP to execute.
You can periodically execute this job with crontab.

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
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
ENDIF.
Hope the above helps you.

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,
Ravi

Hi,
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,
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 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,
Bharani

Hi,
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

Scheduling a background job based on fiscal variant

Hi All
The organisation which i am working for has a 4-4-5 calender. The requirement is to schedule a job( A Z program which fetches data from R/3 table) in background so that it gets executed in 4-4-5 fashion.
Thanks in Advance
Regards

Hi Ankur,
Create a batchjob of this Z program.
you have to check the option periodic option,
then it prompts for the periodic type,
there you can see a button RESTRICTIONS.
here you have to give the factory calender
You can also reach me by my business card.
Hope this helps,

How to schedule a background jobs for a function module

HI all,
I have created a function module (zrfc_test). Now I need to schedule it daily around 8am . the 2 tcodes used is sm36 & sm37. But I need a detail description for a function module.
Points will be rewarded
thanks in advance

As there is no direct way of scheduling a function module, you may write a online program (program type 1) and call this function module in side it and schedule the program using SM36. Or you may record a CATT procedure for the function module and schedule it using SCAT transaction.Hope this helps

How to de-schedule a background job?

Dear all,
     I have scheduled a background ABAP report titled ZHRWFIT19 at SM36 to trigger a workflow.
     Initially I scheduled this background job to 9 A.M.
     Later I changed to schedule this background job to 10 A.M at SM37.
     Now my workflow triggers twice i.e., at 9 A.M. once and 10 A.M once.
     I want it to start at 10 A.M. only.Though I changed the schedule time to 9 A.M. to 10 A.M, still my background job triggers the
     workflow at 9 A.M. and 10 A.M.
     How to de-schedule this background report at 9 A.M.?
     Please suggest for which I will be grateful forever.
Thanks and regards,
S.Suresh

Dear Shastri,
         Thank you so much for your reply.
         As you have rightly pointed, I have 2 entries with same background job at SM37.That's why my workflow triggers twice.Now I want to permanently delete the background job entry at SM37 which triggers my workflow at 9 A.M.
        I couldn't delete this entry at SM37 permanently.Please suggest me how to permanently delete the entry that triggers the workflow at 9 A.M., for which I will grateful.
Thanks and regards,

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.
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..

Scheduling a background job depending on the output lenght.

Hi every one,
I have a small requirement. My client want me to run a program in a foreground if the output is small and should the program in background if the output is large.This has to be achieved through coding. The program downloads the netprices of products. The downloaded file is of .dat format. It is an urgent requirement.
Guys you would throughly rewarded for your help.
Thanks,
Kumar.9886185040.

Hi Nag
that is not possible with codeing. To create a schedule a background job for the same program depending on its output is not possible.
being a programmer you need to decide, how long the code will take to execute.. accordingly you can either schedule or run in foreground. You can make some mandatory fields in the selection screen, so that the output is big mostly.
see the sample code for the Job scheduling using the fun modules
IF p_bjob = 'X'.
CONCATENATE sy-cprog sy-datum sy-uzeit
INTO jobname SEPARATED BY '_'.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
jobname = jobname

invalid_job_data = 2

ELSE.
MESSAGE i029 WITH jobname.
ENDIF.
ELSE.
MESSAGE s000 WITH text-003.
STOP.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
Also,
Yes you can use job functions:
JOB_OPEN
JOB_SUBMIT
JOB_CLOSE
* You can add multiple steps into one job by using JOB_SUBMIT.

ME05 How to schedule source list job with steps?

Can someone please give me instructions on how to create source list ME05 in background using "Steps"? I know how to create a background job in ME05 but need to have several jobs run back to back in the middle of the night. I am reluctant to shedule them at different times and would prefer to use the "Steps" function. Thanks for your input!

Hello
Steps:
First create variant for the report in normal execution mode (to provide input selection parameters in backgrpund)
1. Transaion code SM36
Give Job name you want created (Give some meaningful name) and Press enter
2. Give the ABAP program name
3. Select variant and save the selections
4. Come back to initial screen , select the Start condition button and provide the interval as per requirement to schedule the job and save.
5. Save the job.
Check the Job in SM37 and relase the Job.
warm regards
Rama
