  • Scheduling month- end job for CK40N

    Dear experts,
    We have a requirement to schedule CK40N as month-end job. We have the following concerns:
    1. CK40N contains multiple jobs within the transaction
    2. This transaction code does not have variant creation option without which we are not able to send emaill - job completion status along with job output.
    Please suggest how to handle this requirement using standard process option, if possible OR any alternative solution.
    Regards,

    Try the below

  • Month End Closing - Schedule Manager

    Hello,
    Does anybody know what are the other tools offered by SAP for month end closing?
    I am trying to use Schedule Manager (SCMA) but its not letting me define dependencies on "Notes" task. I mean I am trying to add "Notes" task in Schedule Manager for the specific month end tasks which will be performed outside of SAP and user will just checkmark in SCMA.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Archived Service Orders settling in the month end job!!!

    Hi All,
    Service orders were archived using object PM_ORDER and now the month end settlement job has settled some very old service contracts. Why is this happening inspite of running the archive pre process job which ensures that the service orders have been settled before archiving them.
    What can be done to correct them? We have a list of order numbers which have got settled, but not sure how to set this problem right.
    Plus need to prevent this from happening in the next month end settlement.
    This is a critical issue.. so any help will be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!
    Janani

    Hi ,
    1)  In general , archived Orders won't be avl in the system for process. Check whether those orders are really archived .
    2) While running preprocess for archiving that is deletion process for Orders , it might have closed/deleted the linked objects ( for e.g. Purchase requisitions,reservation, etc ) . System might have settled those orders in the current settlement run

  • Background Job Scheduling

    Hi,
      I am scheduling a report to run in background.
    In this report it is creating background jobs automatically for different company codes.
    It submits the 1st background job and waits until it finishes.
    Then 2nd job starts in background and continues with other jobs.
    At end it finishes all the jobs and closes.
    Now my problem is.
    1.       Whether is it possible for us to submit all the jobs at 1 time. And execute at same time. Ie., 1st, 2nd job will start at same time.
    2.       If possible how can we do that.
    What I have written is
    loop at companycode.
    Create job name.
    call fun 'Job_Open'.
    submit xxxx user sy-uname via job job_name numer job_count
    to sap-spool

    hi praveen,
    Job Scheduling Explained
    Definition
    Before any background processing can actually begin, background jobs must be defined and scheduled. The scheduled time for when a job runs is one part of the job’s definition. There are several ways to schedule jobs:
    From Transaction SM36 (Define Background Job)
    With the "start program in the background" option of either Transaction SA38 (ABAP: Execute Program) or Transaction SE38 (the ABAP editor)
    Through the background processing system’s own programming interface. (Many SAP applications use the internal programming interface to schedule long-running reports for background processing.)
    Through an external interface.
    Scheduling Background Jobs   
    Use
    You can define and schedule background jobs in two ways from the Job Overview:
    ·         Directly from Transaction SM36. This is best for users already familiar with background job scheduling.
    ·         The Job Scheduling Wizard. This is best for users unfamiliar with SAP background job scheduling. To use the Job Wizard, start from Transaction SM36, and either select Goto ® Wizard version or simply use the Job Wizard button.
    Procedure
           1.      Call Transaction SM36 or choose CCMS ® Jobs ® Definition.
           2.      Assign a job name. Decide on a name for the job you are defining and enter it in the Job Name field.
           3.      Set the job’s priority, or “Job Class”:
    ·         High priority:      Class A
    ·         Medium priority: Class B
    ·         Low priority: Class C
           4.      In the Target server field, indicate whether to use system load balancing.
    ·         For the system to use system load balancing to automatically select the most efficient application server to use at the moment, leave this field empty.
    ·         To use a particular application server to run the job, enter a specific target server.
           5.      If spool requests generated by this job are to be sent to someone as email, specify the email address. Choose the Spool list recipient button.
           6.      Define when the job is to start by choosing Start Condition and completing the appropriate selections. If the job is to repeat, or be periodic, check the box at the bottom of this screen.
           7.      Define the job’s steps by choosing Step, then specify the ABAP program, external command, or external program to be used for each step.
           8.      Save the fully defined job to submit it to the background processing system.
           9.      When you need to modify, reschedule, or otherwise manipulate a job after you've scheduled it the first time, you'll manage jobs from the Job Overview.
    Note: Release the job so that it can run. No job, even those scheduled for immediate processing, can run without first being released.
    Specifying Job Start Conditions
    Use
    When scheduling a background job (either from Transaction SM36, Define Background Job or CCMS ® Jobs ® Definition), you must specify conditions that will trigger the job to start.
    Procedure
    Choose the Start condition button at the top of the Define Background Job screen.
    Choose the button at the top of the Start Time screen for the type of start condition you want to use (Immediate, Date/Time, After job, After event, or At operation mode) and complete the start time definition in the screen that appears.
    For the job to repeat, check the Periodic job box at the bottom of the Start Time screen and choose the Period values button below it to define the frequency of repetition (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or another specific time-related period). Then choose the Save button in the Period values screen to accept the periodicity and return to the Start Time screen.
    Once you’ve completed specifying the job start conditions, choose the Save button at the bottom of the Start Time screen to return to the Define Background Job screen.
    No job can be started until it is released, including jobs scheduled to start immediately. Since releasing jobs can be done only by a system administrator from the job management screen (Transaction SM37) or by other users who have been granted the appropriate Authorizations for Background Processing, no unauthorized user can start a job without explicit permission
    Managing Jobs from the Job Overview
    Use
    The Job Overview, or Job Maintenance, screen is the single, central area for completing a wide range of tasks related to monitoring and managing jobs, including defining jobs; scheduling, rescheduling, and copying existing jobs; rescheduling and editing jobs and job steps; repeating a job; debugging an active job; reviewing information about a job; canceling a job's release status; canceling and deleting jobs; comparing the specifications of several jobs; checking the status of jobs; reviewing job logs; and releasing a job so it can run.
    Procedures
    To display the Job Overview screen, choose CCMS ® Jobs ® Maintenance or call Transaction SM37. Before entering the Job Overview screen, the system first displays the Select Background Jobs screen. You'll need to complete this Job Selection screen to define the criteria for the jobs you want to manage. Once you've selected jobs to manage, you can choose from a wide range of management tasks:
    To copy a single existing job, choose Job ® Copy.
    To reschedule or edit job steps or attributes of a single job, choose Job ® Change. A job step is an independent unit of work within a background job. Each job step can execute an ABAP or external program. Other variants or authorizations may be used for each job step. The system allows you to display ABAP programs and variants. You can scan a program for syntax errors. You can also display the authorizations for an authorized user of an ABAP job step.
    To repeat a single job, choose Job ® Repeat scheduling.
    To debug an active job, choose Job ® Capture: active job. Only a single selection is allowed. If an active job seems to be running incorrectly (e.g., running for an excessively long time), you can interrupt and analyze it in debugging mode in a background process, and then either release it again or stop it altogether.
    You will be able to capture a background job only if you are logged on to the SAP server on which the job is running. To find server information in the Job Overview, select and mark the job, then choose Job ® Job details.
    To review information about a job, choose Job ® Job details. Details displayed can include:
    current job status
    periodicity, or the repetition interval
    other jobs linked to the current job, either as previous or subsequent jobs
    defined job steps
    spool requests generated by the current job
    To cancel a job's "Released" status, select the job or jobs from the Job Overview list and choose Job ® Release -> Scheduled.
    To cancel a job from running but keep the job definition available, select the job or jobs from the Job Overview list and choose Job ® Cancel active job.
    To delete a job entirely, select the job or jobs from the Job Overview list and choose Job ® Delete. Jobs with the status of Ready or Running cannot be deleted.
    To compare the specifications of more than one job, select the jobs from the Job Overview list and choose Job ® Compare jobs.
    To check the status of jobs, select the job or jobs from the Overview Job list and choose Job ® Check status. This allows you to either change the job status back to Planned or cancel the job altogether. This is especially useful when a job has malfunctioned.
    To review job logs, select a job or jobs with the status Completed or Canceled from the Job Overview list and

  • Reporting Agent Job Scheduling problem

    hi All,
    I am trying to schedule reporting agent job. I have few pre calculated webtemplates in one reporting agent scheduling package. when i try to schedule it and go to "start condition" - I want to put "After Event". I am selecting Event and giving the parameter name. But when i save and go out the job is already scheduled (checked in sm37). so I tried to chk the job condition again and the event i selected is not there !!!!
    I want to create after even condition and schedule that parameter via mainframe as our all job schedule through main frame only !!! can some one tell me why its not working with reporting agent ??
    I will definately assign the points.

    dinesh and SB,
    thank you for your reply. understood your point. but what i m asking is when i put "after event" criteria in the start selection... wouldnt it show that always when ever i go to Reporting Agent scheduling Package --> right click --> schedule --> start condition (i meant the event name and parameter should be saved there)
    but once i save it and get out from the scheduling package i can see the job has been scheduled but its not showing that its even controlled job !!!
    is it possible to use "after event" option in Reproting agent's job ?
    I have few queries under one Reporting Agent scheduling package which is added in one process chain - the PC is running once a month - i added RA at the end of the process chain and the variant will be schedule by mainframe once the process chain has completed successfully. now 2nd thing is: i need to run Reporting Agent job every single day. so need to schedule it twice. we schedule everything by main frame. so if i can save "after event" criteria then i can schedule that parameter by mainframe. the problem is the start condition is not saving my after event condition entries or parameter names.
    I hope i m clear. pl. guide its kind a urgent.

    Hello,
    This is the basic Job Scheduling functionality and not the Redwood Job scheduling, correct?
    Have you performed the IMG Activiteis in SPRO?
    See the following Help link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm70ehp1_sp23/helpdata/en/c5/7edcbd58ce4e29bc1baf1c4761d71f/frameset.htm
    Change a job
    You can change the scheduling of a job as long as it has not been completed. Proceed as follows:
    Make changes.
    Note
    When you change a periodic job, the system searches for the changeable successor and only changes this successor.
    If there is more than one changeable job with the same name, the system does not change any of these jobs.
    End of the note.
    Save your entries.
    To release the job in the target system, select Release.
    You go to the transaction SM37 in the target system.
    You just may want to ensure HTTP Services have been enabled. I realize you said the services workin SICF, but this needs to be verified as 500 Internal Server Error most often means the HTTP services are not activated.

    Hi,
    not sure if the recommendations given will address this issue.
    You are getting this error:
    BR0301E SQL error -1017 at location BrDbConnect-2, SQL statement:
    'CONNECT /'
    ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
    the log file indicates:
    > No application server found on database host - rsh/gateway will be used
    This indicated that the user that is connecting from the AS to the DB server is not properly configured to perform the DB tasks on it.
    So, first question would be to know if you have configured a gateway on the DB server and how, or if you are using remote shell.
    Second question, you can do backups on the DB server.
    > I can run backupjob sucessfully directly from BRtools on database server
    How did you run exactly the backup job (what is the exact command line, what is the exact OS user that executed it)?
    What is the OS of the DB server?
    I have reread your post, your OS is windows therefore you fall in the "typical" error in Windows.
    You have executed your backup as <sid>ADM and it works. Unfortunatelly, in windows, SAP is exectuted by SAPSERVICE<sid>, and this is the user who should be connecting to your DB server, and this is the user who cannot execute the backup.
    The fact that you can run the backup with <sid>ADM in Windows does not means that you have SAPService<sid> properly configured.
    For the error (see before) I think your ops$ user for this user is not properly configured in the DB server. take a look at the note mentioned by KT and pay attention to the SAPSERVICE<sid> configuration
