How to schedule perioding BG job after job

My requirement is i need to schedule periodic job on daily basis, suppose i have 2 jobs A and B...then i need to start job B only and only if job A is finished..
Can you please guide me..

You cannot specify a job as "periodic" if it is scheduled to start after a job. Refer [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/20/2d513897110872e10000009b38f889/content.htm]
You can achieve in 2 ways:
1. Create a single job & define 2 steps.
2. Use SAP Event to trigger the second job. At the end of the first job raise an event which will trigger the first job.

How to schedule batch jobs to run after another periodically?

Hi good people,
I want to schedule batch jobs to run periodically one after another.
Here is the problem:
I have scheduled JOB1 to run once a week and I scheduled JOB2 to run after that job (JOB1). The problem is that JOB2 runs only after the first time that JOB1 runs. The second time the JOB1 runs the JOB2 is not started. I presume that the reason for that is that JOB2 is tied to the job number for the JOB1, and since a new job (with the new number) is created every week, the JOB2 is only tied to the first instance of JOB1.
So does anyone have an idea how to get JOB2 to automatically run every week after JOB1? One idea is to use events, but that I'm hoping that there is a bit cleaner solution..
Best Regards,
Armin

Hi
Try scheduling both JOB1 & JOB2 in a single job in steps.
First schedule JOB1 & then give JOB2 in steps.
Kindly check the following link to do job scheduling in steps:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/c4/3a7ed1505211d189550000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

How to schedule job to execute after 5 seconds gap using the program

Hi ALL,
How to schedule the program to run after 5 seconds to execute using JOB_OPEN,JOB_CLOSE,SUB_SUBMIT function modules in which parameter I should give this 5 secnods?
Regards
mahesh

Hi,
You can use the import parameters of function module JOB_CLOSE
SDLSTRTDT & SDLSTRTTM
to pass the required start date and time (respectively) of your background job. That is, if you want the job to be scheduled and start at a fixed time (as in your case 5 seconds in the future), you can determine the start date and time as 5 seconds ahead of sy-uzeit and pass the resultant values to the mentioned importing parameters.

Want to schedule a Job (Strt Cond after JOB which should be periodically !!

Transactions : SM36 SM37 SM37C SM62 S64 SE38
Requirement
JOBA should execute program PROG1 with variant VARPROG1 in background everyday @ 10 AM.
JOBB should execute program PROG2 with variant VARPROG2 in background after JOBA
JOBC should execute program PROG3 with variant VARPROG3 in background after JOBB
JOBD should execute program PROG4 with variant VARPROG4 in background after JOBC.
When i schedule the above jobs for one day ..It works fine !!
We Require when JOBA scheduled daily / JOBB / JOBC / JOBD should should follows,
which will not happen with a option : "Start Condition : After a JOB"
irrespective technical i scheduled 1st job daily and JOBB / JOBC / JOBD as mentioned above. Result : !st dya all jobs got executed and 2nd day only 1st job got released ans got executed.
How can we acheive this ??
Rgds

Hi,
You follow the below process.
1) Define a BG job in your system with Daily Frequency and have four variants in that jobs such a way.
Step-1 ---program PROG1 with variant VARPROG1
Step -2 ---program PROG2 with variant VARPROG2
Step-3 - program PROG3 with variant VARPROG3
Step -4 program PROG4 with variant VARPROG4
If you define the job in this way, this will ensure that Prog -2 will only start when Prog -1 will be over and similarly other will also follow the sequence and in this way you achieve the Daily frequency also.

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.
Thanks,

How to stop jobs after a system copy

Hi All,
After doing a system copy from the Production system to some test system, all the jobs that are supposed to be triggered in the production server will also trigger in the test system which is not good.
For example, If we have a payroll running every month. After i do a system copy the same payroll will also be triggered in the test server which is un acceptable.
How do we go about it and what are all the steps that we need to follow after a system copy?
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks
Vijay

Hello Vijay,
you surely need background processes in a running system.
But you can start a SAP system without any background processes.
When the system is up you go to sm37 and delete (or de-release) all the jobs you don't need in the target system. Then set the number of batch processes to the amount you want and restart the system.
Alternatively you can prepare your source system accordingly with the SAP System Copy Guide - Section 3.2 Technical Preparations:
"Set all released jobs from Released to Scheduled:
Tools -> CCMS -> Background Processing -> Jobs - Overview and Administration (transaction SM37)
You also need to do this for jobs that must run periodically (see SAP Note 16083).
Select all jobs (include start after event) as follows:
Job -> Released -> Scheduled"
I think the best way for you is to read this guide!
Everything is explained very well there.
Goto:
https://service.sap.com/systemcopy
In the left tree select:
-> SAP Netweaver
-> SAP Netweaver in Detail
-> Software Life-Cycle Management
-> System Copy & Migration
-> Media Library
There are all the Guides for the current releases.

How to deactivate Filter and Job in Job scheduling?

Hi,
My scenario is:
XI will poll the file from 3rd party system and wil send to R/3 via IDOC adapter.
On every sunday , R/3 will be down for 3-4 hrs for maintenance purpose.
I need to create job scheduling in such a way that XI sould collect all the message coming on sunday during that period
of time and after endtime has reached , it should process those message and should send the message to R/3 system.
I have created Sender/Receiver ID ..also create Filter and a JOBID.
while creating Job ID i specified the following
1: Start Date    = 18.08.2009
2:Start Time     = 11.00.00
3:End Date      = 18.08.2009
4:End Time      = 15.00.00
5:Period          = 7
6:Period Unit   = D (Days)
Job should be scheduled at 11.00.00 and end at 15.00.00 ,filter and Job both should deactivate and after 15.00.00 it should process those messages.
But the problem is it doesnt deactivate the filter.
I tried using SXMS_JOB_DEACTIVATE and SXMS_START_JOB_AT_ONCE
Both deacitvtes the JOB but not filter.
Can any body tell me , how to go with it.
Also if I have to write a report, what all things are required.
regards,
Mayank

Hi Volker,
Down time for R/3 is more ..so i am not sure whether XI will trying till that time or not.
And XI is not able to than all the incoming messages in XI during that period of time will be Red Flag.
can we write a report in XI such a way that .. all the queued messages should be processed ..thorugh Job scheduling.

How to schedule same job in particular time

Hi all ,
there is one job that needs to be scheduled no of time in day.
Please let me know how to schedule .
Thanks&Regards,
Ravi

Hi,
Create an event in SM62.
Use FM BP_RAISE_EVENT in your code.
In its import parameters mention the eventid and parameter.
You job must be scheduled to execute after event.
This you can define in the start condition of the job in SM36.
You can put the AABAP logic based on which it could raise the event 5 times in the day.
If you are ok to start the job after every 4 hours, you can created the job in sm36 with periodicity as 4 in other period tab in data and time tab in start condition for the job in SM36.

Periodic Background Jobs after another Job finishes

Hi
I have to schedule a job 'B' to run after job 'A' finishes.
When i schedule job 'B' to run after job A , it runs only once , while i need the job B to run periodically after job A finishes.
1) I cannt make job B as step 2 of job A , because job A is not scheduled by me and i cannt change that.
Can anyone tell me how to i trigger the job B periodicaly after job A finishes .
Any solution or hint would be appreciated.
Looking forward to some helpful replies from the gurus of SAP.
Regards
Purva

Dear Team,
Job ES_RPTMC_CREATE_CHANGEPOINT_AUTH ran only once where as SEC:INDX_UPDATE_FOR_STRUCT_AUTHS ran daily.
CAUSE:
“The start condition "Start after job" is internally mapped by means of "Start after event SAP_END_OF_JOB with the parameter <Jobname><Jobcount> of the predecessor". The pair <Jobname><Jobcount> is the unique key for a job.
If a job is executed periodically, the SAP_END_OF_JOB event is always triggered with different parameters.
The successor in turn waits for SAP_END_OF_JOB with just one particular parameter (this is the parameter with <Jobname><Jobcount> from the first predecessor). When the successor is rescheduled, the key fields from the next predecessor must therefore always be known in advance, something which is not always technically possible.”
SOLUTION:
This task can be completed with the new ABAP program Program BTC_EVENT_RAISE.
The program is delivered by Support Package for Basis Releases 640 and 700, and is included in the standard system in all subsequent releases.
The program is used to trigger a batch event. Existing programs do not therefore have to be changed. The BTC_EVENT_RAISE program has several parameters in the selection screen, including the event (and parameters) that is to be triggered.
PROCESS:
 Go To SM64
 Click on Create
 Create two events.
Our Case:
We created Z_ES_CP_AUTH and Z_SEC_AUTHS
 Go to SE38
 Give the event name as BTC_EVENT_RAISE
 Select Variants and click on Display
 Give the variant name as the one you created.
Our Case:
Z_ES_CP_AUTH
 Click on Create
 Give in the details for variants
 Click on attributes and give the details for attributes
 Go to the job which needs to be run first
• Select the job in released status
• Job->Change
• Step
• Add BTC_EVENT_RAISE as the last step of the job with the parameter as the variant created
Our Case:
Step: BTC_EVENT_RAISE, Parameter: Z_ES_CP_AUTH
 Go to the job which needs to be run next
• Select the job in released status
• Job->Change
• Start Condition -> After Event.
• Give the BTC_EVENT_RAISE parameter of the first job as the event of the second job.
Our Case:
After Event: Z_ES_CP_AUTH
 Save the changes.
 The jobs will start running one after the other with the given frequency.
Thanks

Schedule PC after Job

I scheduled PC after Job. It ran fine for only one day. I want to run PC daily after certain Job. How to achieve this?
Thanks in advance

Raj, I think you will need to change the Start variant of your Process Chain to start "After event". When you do this, you will see the Periodic Flag check-box.
Then create an ABAP program to trigger the event.
See this link:
How-to trigger a process chain using ABAP?
Next, in your job, add a step at the end to call this ABAP program so that when the job finishes, it will trigger your Process Chain will start.
Hope this helps, and sorry for the confusion

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

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 a job from r3 to BI daily ?

Please let me know how to schedule a job frm bi to r3, that is i want to load data from a sd ds to a sd cube in bi. I do not want to use a PC and can i schedule a job daily without a PC, which can run daily after 10pm ,remember its not a manual schedule. Do we have any option to schedule in hourly, weekly, daily from bi to r3. If yes HOW ? i know we can do it thru infopackage group but will the infopackage group accept if its only a single load....I think it should have multiple infopackage rite to add it to a group or can it b a single job as well.
Edited by: Manohar P on Oct 16, 2008 3:14 PM

An infopackage group can only run infopackages, and unfortunately, you will need an ABAP program to trigger the event in R/3. There is plenty of ABAP code in this forum to show you exactly how to do this.
Try this:
Triggering a Process Chain From R/3 pgm
R/3 Jobs Triggering BW job
You can also review OSS Note 135637. This note will show from R/3 to BI (BW). But you can reverse the logic to go from BI to R/3.
Hope this helps.
My suggestion would be to replace the infopackage group with a process chain, because you can call an ABAP program from a process chain. You also have many more processes at your disposal using process chains.
