Job Definitions

I recently purchased and installed Acrobat XI and discovered that Job Definitions went away...or so it seems. I have one primary report that combines 126 different files into a single PDF that my boss can easily view and print. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how to do this in Acrobat XI, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled Acrobat X just so I can continue to deliver this report daily.
I tried creating a Portfolio, but I couldn't figure out how my boss could send it to a printer without sending one document at a time from within the Portfolio. This just doesn't work for me.
Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding a function that exists in Version XI that replaced Job Definitions from Version X? If not, I will NEVER be able to upgrade to XI! That's just crazy in my book.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

I guess I wasn't clear in the initial description of my issue. I run a Job Definition (yes, JDF) every single day. It combines 126 files into one printable file that is in a specific order. This function is of HUGE importance to the efficiency of my job. I'm looking for someone who can provide a usable alternative. I cannot manually create this file everyday. Creating the initial Job Definition is time-consuming and tedious. However, USING it daily takes only seconds. How is that "awkward and slow?" It would be impossible for me to generate this file manually on a daily basis because that IS "awkward and slow." It's bad enough that I cannot change the JDF once it is in place, other that replacing a file. I cannot move items in the job. It just doesn't work. If I add a file and move it to where I need it to be, it just ends up at the bottom of the file. The reason I upgraded to XI was because I thought maybe this would be fixed...I didn't realize it went away instead. That happening never occurred to me.
I cannot use Portfolio because it cannot be printed as one entire document in one command...at least not that I can find. If there is anyone out there that can help me with a useful alternative, I would be very grateful for a response. If there is no alternative, then just tell me that and I'll look elsewhere for a product that can do what I need.
Thanks.

Background Job cancelling with error Data does not match the job definition

Dear Team,
Background Job is getting cancelled when I run a Job on periodically but the same Job is executing perfectly when I run it manually(repeat scheduling) .
Let me describe the problem clearly.
We have a program which picks up files from an FTP server and posts the documents into SAP. We are scheduling this program as a background Job daily. This Job is running perfectly if the files contain no data. But if the file contains data the JOb is getting cancelled with the following messages.
And also the same Job is getting executed perfectly when repeat scheduling is done ( even for files with data).

Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance,

hi,
If you have any GUI function modules used in the program of job
you cannot run it in background mode.

Regarding "Data does not match the job definition; job terminated"

Dear Friends,
The following job is with respect to an inbound interface that transfers data into SAP.
The file mist.txt is picked from the /FI/in directory of the application server and is moved to the /FI/work directory of application server for processing. Once the program ends up without any error, the file is moved to /FI/archive directory.
The below are the steps listed in job log, no spool is generated for this job and it ended up with an error "Data does not match the job definition; job terminated".Please see below for more info.
1.Job Started
2.Step 001 started (program Y_SAP_FI_POST, variant MIST, user ID K364646)
3.File mist.txt copied from /data/sap/ARD/interface/FI/in/ to /data/sap/ARD/interface/FI/work/.
4.File mist.txt deleted from /data/sap/ARD/interface/FI/in/.
5.File mist.txt read from /data/sap/ARD/interface/FI/work/.
6.PD-DKLY-Y_SAP_FI_POST: This job was started periodically or directly from SM36/SM37 (Message Class: BD, Message Number : 076)
7.Job PD-DKLY-Y_SAP_FI_POST: Data does not match the job definition; job terminated (Message Class : BD, Message No. 078)
8.Job cancelled after system exception
ERROR_MESSAGE
Could you please analyse and come up about under what circumstance the above error is reported.
As well I heard that because of the customization issues in T.Code BMV0, the above error has raised.
Also please note that we can define as well schedule jobs from the above transaction and the corresponding data is stored in the table TBICU
My Trials
1. Tested uplaoding an empty file
2. Tested uploading with wrong data
3. Tested uploading with improper data that has false file structue
But failed to simulate the above scenario.
Clarification Required
Assume that I have defined a job using BMV0. Is that mandatory to use the same job in SM37/SM36 for scheduling?
Is the above question valid?

Hi dharmendra
Good Day
How are you
I am facing the same problem which you have posted
By any chance have you got the soultion for this
If so please let me know the solution for this.
Thanks in advance.

Custom Timer Jobs not visible in Central Admin Job Definitions

I have multiple custom timer jobs which I was using on old farm, and it was successfully working and was visible in the Central Admin Job Definitions.
But ever since I moved to new farm, by restoring the site collections from old to new farm, and deployed the custom timer jobs on new farm, they are not visible in Central Admin Job Definitions.
I tried to change the scope of the solution to "Web Application", and deployed it's wsp in new farm, then also they are not visible in Job Definitions. But I can see them in "Farm Solutions", they have been successfully deployed.
Please suggest what should I do.

public override void FeatureActivated(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
SPWeb wb = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;
if (wb == null)
throw new SPException("Error obtaining reference to context Site ");
// make sure the job isn't already registered
foreach (SPJobDefinition job in wb.Site.WebApplication.JobDefinitions)
if (job.Name == List_JOB_NAME)
job.Delete();
RSS listLoggerJob = new RSS(List_JOB_NAME, wb.Site.WebApplication);
SPHourlySchedule schedule = new SPHourlySchedule();
schedule.BeginMinute = 0;
schedule.EndMinute = 59;
listLoggerJob.Schedule = schedule;
listLoggerJob.Update();
public override void FeatureDeactivating(SPFeatureReceiverProperties properties)
SPWeb wb = properties.Feature.Parent as SPWeb;
// delete the job
foreach (SPJobDefinition job in wb.Site.WebApplication.JobDefinitions)
if (job.Name == List_JOB_NAME)
job.Delete();

SAP Scheduler. Multiple jobs for one job definition issue.

Hi.
I am facing one problem concerning scheduling jobs. I've created a job definition and deployed it on server. In onJob(...) method system queries to DB for a single result, when this result matches some conditions job is finished, otherwise it waits for a minute and then queries again. Then I tried to create several tasks for this job definition and set similar execution time for all tasks to check their simultaneous behavior. I was surprised to find out that only one job status is 'RUNNING' and for others status is 'STARTING'. But I expected to see all my jobs in status 'RUNNING'. At first I thought the problem was in MDB pool stuff(e.g. InitialSize of beans or something like that), supposing that there is only one working bean and huge queue of messages. But nothing changed after setting different values for pool params.
So, can anyone help me to make at least 2 simultaneous working jobs for one job definition, if it possible, off cause. Or may be I am wrong somewhere. (By the way, I used Threads in MDB for waiting).
Thanks in advance.

May be I described my problem rather messy. The main question is it possible to create several jobs for one job definition and see them running at the same time (simultaneously)?
Thanks.

Submit Multiple Job Definitions/Job Chains with same Time window/Submit frame in mass

Hi,
We have a requirement to submit multiple Job Definition/Job Chains which are part of common Time Window/Submit frame/Queue....
Ex. We have over 50+ different jobs/job chains which will runs Monday to Friday for every 2 hours on same Queue "XXX_Queue". Instead of submitting each job/job chain manually, we would like to know if we could use any script that can achieve our requirement? since we have couple of other jobs which fall under same scenarios...
We are on M33.104 version. Please let me know if any one has any scripts or alternate way of submitting multiple jobs/job chains in mass.
Thanks in advance!
Nidhi.

Hi Nidhish,
Here is some code to set some stuff on a job:
//Get the partition, for global this is not necessary as global is default
Partition part = jcsSession.getPartitionByName("GLOBAL");
//Get the job definition
JobDefinition jobdef=jcsSession.getJobDefinitionByName(part, "System_Info");
//Get the submit frame
SubmitFrame sf = jcsSession.getSubmitFrameByName(part, "SF_Every_Year");
//Get the time window
TimeWindow tw = jcsSession.getTimeWindowByName(part, "System_Week_WorkingHours");
//Set the start time
DateTimeZone dtz = new DateTimeZone(2015, 10, 18, 15, 0, 0, 0);
//Get the Queue
Queue SystemQ=jcsSession.getQueueByName(part, "System");
//Create the Job
Job infoJob=jobdef.prepare();
//Attach queue to job
infoJob.setQueue(SystemQ);
//Attach submit frame, time window, start time
infoJob.setSubmitFrame(sf);
infoJob.setTimeWindow(tw);
infoJob.setRequestedStartTime(dtz);
//Print out the jobid of the job
jcsOut.println(infoJob.getJobId());
//Submit the job
jcsSession.persist();

ExceptionMessage: 'Access denied. Only machine administrators are allowed to create administration service job definitions of type: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.SharePoint.WebAccess.ApplyWebConfigModificationsJobDefinition

Hi,
I am getting error "Access Denied" when my code tries to get "SPWebService.JobDefinition" with an AppPool account of content site. The same core runs correctly for the AppPool of CentralAdmin site.
Lemme provide some background of the servers
- We have multi-server FARM
- WFE and APP servers are in different domains, there is one-way trust between the domains.
- We have UAC (User Access Control) set as high on each server
- My site is internet site
Lines of Code are following
SPWebServiceservice =
SPWebService.ContentService
varsyncTimerJob =
fromSPJobDefinitionjob
inservice.JobDefinitions
                   wherejob.Name
== "MyJob"
selectjob;
I am running the above code with in SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges so the above code is running with APP POOL account. I m getting
the error in the 2nd line where I have a LINQ query. And I m assuming this is because of "service.JobDefinition" line. Can anyone help me?

Unable to see Ess Job Definition in the ESS Test UI

Hi,
I am defining a new ESS Job. I have created the Jobdefinition.xml in the Jdev. I have defined the parameters in In the Application defined properties. In the system properties, I have added the Sys Effective Application & Sys_product. In the Access Control section, I have added 2 roles, which are already present in the jazn-data.xml file.I select them, give the roles with Read,write,delete & execute permissions.
I have included the resource bundle, Display Name Resource key & Description Resource Key.
But now when I save the job, I'm getting an error.
It is referring to the Jazn file in some other location & not referring to the one which is present in my project. In my project, I have checked out the file and able to make changes.
So I'm unable to save the job definition.
Also My main issue is The job I created & deployed in weblogic server is not visible in the ESS Testing UI.(http://localhost:7101/essUi/faces/EssUIShell).
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
The issue is not occuring now.
I could not identify the root cause but it looks like jazn-data.xml file was locked in another view. Though I have issued check out and it also showed check out, it was not actually available for writing.
I unbranched and destroyed the transactions in my view and re-created the view, the issue did not occur then.
Also I have created the job definition and now it is listing in the test UI but fails in the parameters page. I followed the steps mentioned in this post.
http://myforums.oracle.com/jive3/thread.jspa?threadID=1289852&tstart=0
But ended up in BUILD FAILURE for some reasons.
A how-to series will be very helpful.

ESS Job Definition and Testing

I have defined a ESS Job definition in Jdeveloper using the Using Oracle JDeveloper to Generate an Oracle Enterprise Scheduler Application - 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.1) and other supporting docs.
The roles attached in the Access control and already available in the jazn file.
I have edited the Resource Bundle and added the details for the new Job Definition.But unable to select the same in the Display Name Resource Key & Description Resource Key.
I have build the Ear file and deployed it in integrated weblogic server. But I'm unable to see the new job the in the Scheduled Process list.
Any help will be highly appreciated...
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.
I had not added the Resource Bundle present in another project to this project Bundle list.
Once added, I was able to select.
I have another question.
In the Access Control section, I have added 2 roles, which are already present in the jazn-data.xml file.I select them, give the roles & when I save the job, I'm getting an error.
I have checked out the jazn-data.xml file present in my view. But the job is referring to jazn-data.xml file present in another location which is read only.
So I'm unable to save the job definition.
Also My main issue is The job I created & deployed in weblogic server is not visible in the ESS Testing UI.(http://localhost:7101/essUi/faces/EssUIShell)
P.S Pls let me know if I have to raise this as another question.I'll do the same.

Error while Using the Visual Basic Script Job Definition Type for Non-SAP

Hi,
when using VBScript Job Definition Type I got the following Error:
Input Error: There is no file extension in "C:\Program".
When I run the Script locally on the Server it runs fine.
Using CMD Job definition on the same platform agent runs also fine.
Is there maybe a wrong setting or are there any parameters to configure to run VBScript Job definition ?
Best Regards Torsten Rehage

Hi,
yes it is a bug. I had contact with my redwood consultant.
He sends the error to the developer. I set the datarootdirectory to a path without blanks and it works.
Thanks

Attach spool in Mail type job Definition?

Below is my case:
Job chain: AAA
Step 1, Job 1 : run Generic WHT report
Step 2, Job 1 : a custom Mail type job Definition
Tried below expressions to attach spool all failed, only can capture the log texts..
[Attachments]
spool.txt=Step 1, Job 1:spool
spool.txt=Step 1, Job 1:step1/spool.txt
spool.txt=Step 1, Job 1:step1/spool1.txt
spool.txt=Step 1, Job 1:?type=txt
spool.txt=Step 1, Job 1:?type=spool
spool.txt=Step 1, Job 1:?type=txt
spool.txt=Step 1, Job 1:spool
spool.txt=Step 1, Job 1:*
spool.txt=Step 1, Job 1:?type=*
I was able to attach spool file using System_mail_send.
Relative Job - Step 1, Job 1
Job file - step1/spool1.txt
Really hope someone can provide advice..

Can you please try the following?
#Attach all files from Step2, Job 1
@{name}-@{index}.txt=Step 2, Job 1:*
Also have you set the registry key mentioned in admin guide to set permission for mail job to access the output files?
For security reasons, you have to specifically allow the directories in which the files reside on the server to be able
to attach them. This is done by setting a key below configuration/mail/AccessiblePath in the registry.
The registry key does not exist by default and needs to be created. For example, C:\temp could be the value of
the registry key configuration/mail/AccessiblePath/temp, note that the name temp of the registry
key has no significance to SAP CPS, it is its value that will be used.
Also, what version of SAP CPS are you using?
Are you receiving the mail, but without attachments?
thanks

Background Job definition and relationship between jobs

Hi All,
I have 2 jobs J1 and J2. After finishing J1, J2 should start. While defining through SM36, if we use After Job in Start Condition, first time the runs are ok, but if we wish to run it periodic, the dependency is lost. Can someone help me out??
RSPC option is not there.
thanks,
Partha Maity

Hi,
I have tried the option of Job definition through SM36, it works for the first time as i have said, in periodic running dependency is lost. Tried again , same output.
Defining a single job, we have tried this option, and it is taking unusally longer time, thats why we want to have separate job,. and one single big job fails we have very little option of recovery.
RSPC option is not there in APO 3.1
By events, how this can be acheived can some one give detail workout.
Thanks in anticipation.

Replace sql job definition without changing the schedule

Hello,
I need to prepare a script to check if a job exists and if it does then it should replace just the job definition (steps), and keep the current state and schedule(s)
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Please click "Propose As Answer" if a post solves your problem or "Vote As Helpful" if a post has been useful to you

Just alter one in SSMS and script out the change by hitting the Script button on the Job Properties dialog.
That will give you a starting point for your script.

ESS job definition migration

Hi All,
I have created the ESS job in development environment.Now I have to migrate the definition to Test environment.In Oracle apps we have some thing like FNDLOAD to download the concurrent program definition.
Could you please let me know,is there any similar kind of utility like FNDLOAD for ESS job.
Regards,
Venkat.

You can use WLST to transfer metadata, for details on the commands refer to Managing the Metadata Repository. For detailed example refer to
