Job scheduling in 9i
hello sir
In my application i want to transfer data from one table to another table every month, so for that purpose i have used job scheduling concept(DBMS_JOB)
but every month means if month is january then 31 jan (transfer at 31th 24.00 pm)
else february then either 28th/29th(transfer at 28/29 24.00pm)
and so on
actually i want logic or suggestion for above
actually i want logic or suggestion for above Have the other table as a materialized view (if possible) and have the job refresh it every month.
SQL> select last_day(sysdate) from dual ;
LAST_DAY(SY
30-APR-2006
1 row selected.

Hi Friends,
i have a problem with job scheduling.
two jobs need to be scheduled. (job1 and job2)
i used
job_open.
submit job1 using parameters.
job_close.
then for second job.
job_open.
submit job2 using parameter2.
job_close.
when i go and look in sm37. i see when job1 is running the job2 is in release status.
but what we need is when job1 is running job2 should be in schedule status. it should start only after job1 is completed.
in the job2 job_close i used job1 as the PRED_JOBNAME.
but i when i run the program job2 is in released status , not in schedule mode.
is there any way we can make the job2 in scheduled mode instead of release.
can we use event to control this. if yes please let me know how we can do it.
ThanksHi,
As Appana wrote - i'm not sure there's a problem, but why don't u make one job with 2 steps? this way u will be perfectly sure that job2 (2nd step in the new job) will run only after job1 (1st step n the new job)...
Good luck

Internal error occurs in background job scheduling
Hi Experts,
We are facing an error message "Internal error occurs in background job scheduling" while trying to execute a custom report(Z report) in background in SA38.
Please find the following observation on our side on this message.
1) This message is not coming for only one report not for others.
2) SU53 screen shot shows that SE38 check is failed, but the weird thing is not happening for other report.
3) Persons having SE38 auhtorization are able to run this report.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance,
VivenWhat is the message ID and number? Have you tried OSS search and debugging?
What does this program do, in a nutshell? -
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
spool parameters l_spool_parameter
without spool dynpro
with companycode
with ......
and return.
endloop.
Please help ASAP, urgent.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 jobs 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 systems 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 jobs 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 jobs 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 youve 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

Job Scheduling in Solution Manager - Error creating Periodic Job
Hi all,
I am in the process of testing the Job Scheduling functionality using the Solution Manager. I have setup the criteria manager, ec. in the satellite system, and done the config in Solman as well.
I am able to successfully setup up a 'on-time' job.
it's only when I try to setup a periodic job, I end up getting following error
Any thoughts? Is there any piece of config that's missing? All the SICF services needed for this functionality are running fine.
Thanks for the help.

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.

Job finishedHi,
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

Hi any one please explain background job scheduling
Hi any one please explain background job scheduling . Good answer can be rewarded.
ThanksBackground jobs are pgms that are scheduled to be run in the Background without user interaction. So this can be done only for Type 1(executable) Program and not for Module-Pool Programs. Typically, a variant is defined and the pgm is run using the same.
The transaction code is sm36 -Define Background job. Using the Start Condition tab you can define when you want the job to run (specific time or if it has to follow after a particular job is done etc.,) Using the Step tab you can assign the pgm name and variant.
After the job is scheduled, you can check the status in sm37, along with the Job log and Spool.

Background job scheduling edit
Hi
i have a program which executing as a background job for every 3 minuts. but some times the job which is in process is taking a long time like up to 5 minuts and as per job scheduling after 3 minuts of first scheduled job, it is starting another same job. like that sometimes it is going upto 4 to 5 same job is processing.
Is there any solution like : only one of that job should be in the job execution process . but once the job is running the same job should not start. but if it is completed with in 3 minuts the job should be start as scheduled.
Thanks in advanceHi,
I think there is a way in Job scheduling itself to define the next job only when the current one is complete (irrespective of how the execution takes place).
I recently recd help on this topic.. if you are triggering jobs from a program, you can add the foll code to make the second job (or further progm processing) to wait till the current job is over..
WHILE v_fin IS INITIAL.
CALL FUNCTION 'SHOW_JOBSTATE'
EXPORTING
jobcount = l_jobcount
jobname = l_jobname
IMPORTING
finished = v_fin
EXCEPTIONS
jobcount_missing = 1
jobname_missing = 2
job_notex = 3
OTHERS = 4.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
ERROR_JOB = '1'.
v_fin = 'X'.
ENDIF.
ENDWHILE.
Hope this helps.. Regards, Liz -
Background job schedule and mail triggering
Hi Experts,
I schedule a background job to run a custom program for project closure.The job is running successfully. But,the mail I am getting from this job run is same all the time (means it's showing same project closure again and again though I am running job for different projects). Is it some bug in our custom program or any parameters required to be check in job schedule?
Kindly suggest.
Thanks & Regards
SaurabhYes. That is the point I am missing. Just one 'date' is checked and project is taken into account for the custom program and after its successful run the mail is sent to users.
And when the same program I am assigning in SM36,it is actually running the program accurately for project/s but sending the same mail which it send for very first project earlier.
Can you please guide me on the way to create these variants?
You will need to Save different variants for different projects and then assign the variants with your job.
Will it be required to create variant again and again and assign different projects individually? As, we are not sure that which project is gonna be created in future. So, need guideline how these variants can help me to sort out the e-mail issue.

Error in tabstrip control progtram while in Background job scheduling

Srinivas-SAP,Hi,
please go through the functionality of tabstrips.
basically they are placed on tabstrips.
so they dont have their own ok codes and call screen and set screen ( to best of my knowledge )
can not be used.
if you are using set screen remove them.
even without using set screen if you are gettig the error, please let us know.

thanks in advance,
Rohanhi Alexander,
i am triggering the event from BP_EVENT_RAISE FM in APO by passing the event id... this would automaitically raise the event...just like sm64
Thanks

What is the spool, what is its role in background job scheduling
Hi,
I want to know what is meant by Spool request and spool number generated.
Tell about transaction SP01.
How it is linked to Background job scheduling.
thanks.
sam.Hi,
Refer this link.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/inf?rid=/library/uuid/7a5f4061-0a01-0010-c9bc-a4e4cb100438
About SP01.
Printing does not work in SAP. There is a printer definition for your local printer, but it does not work. Presuming that you use the program SAPLPD on your computer.
Boot your computer and start only the SAPLogon and the SAPLpd program.
Delete all of your old print jobs in the SAP system (Transaction SP01).Generate only one new print job.
Check that there is enough resource in your computer. Check the free memory (Win 3.1x) and the free disk space (The lists are temporarily saved on your disk).
Open the SAPLPD and read the print log in the window. The printer definition must correspond with the parameters shown here.
Check that the standard printer is on the same lpt (Win 3.1: Control panel, Printer) as defined for the printer (usually lpt1).
In Transaction SP01 read the protocol of your print job. Do not generate new print jobs! Wait till the SAP system changes the status of the print job.
If you can not find the print job in SP01 anymore, then the print job was successfully printed out. If it didn't come out on your printer and the SAPLpd didn't indicate an incoming print job, then the connection was realised with another PC. Then SAP printer definition you used, does not correspond with your computer.
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 u201CSend to SAP spooler Only for nowu201D
b. Name u2013 abbreviated name to identify the job output
c. Title u2013 free form description for the report output
d. Authorization u2013 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 u2013 set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
a search later.
f. Retention period u2013 set to u201CDo not deleteu201D 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 jobu2019s 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 u201CParametersu201D button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
u201CScheduling background jobsu201D 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 u201CScheduling background jobsu201D section).
Access to reportu2019s 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 u201CFurther selection
criteriau2026u201D button (e.g. to bring u201CSpool request name (suffix 2)u201D 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 jobu2019s outputs)
a. Spool request name (suffix 2) u2013 corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
u201CScheduling background jobsu201D section above).
b. Date created u2013 to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
c. Title u2013 corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in u201CScheduling background jobsu201D
section above).
d. Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in u201CScheduling
background jobsu201D 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 u201CPrint with changed attributedu201D button to print the spool request
with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
c. Click the u201CDisplay contentsu201D button to preview the spool request contents. A
Print and Download functions are available from the preview mode.
Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request
Use
You want to export the contents of a spool request as a text file to the SAP GUI working directory or to a directory of your choice. The content of the spool request is downloaded as plain text without, for example, graphics, images, or specific fonts.
The following procedures are irrelevant for the PDF-based form printing integrated as of SAP Web Application Server 6.40, since the print data can be opened and stored as a PDF. See also Displaying and Printing PDF-Based Forms.
Procedure
Exporting to the SAP GUI Working Directory:
Choose Spool Request ® Forward® Export as Text.
The entire text is stored in your SAP GUI working directory in ASCII format.
A file of this type is named using the following pattern:

Example: ABC0000004327.txt
You require appropriate authorization for this function.
Exporting to a Directory of Your Choice:
With this method of exporting a spool request, the content of the spool request is first displayed and you then download the screen list as a text file to the directory of your choice.
1. Select the spool request to be exported and choose Display Contents.
