Just go to SM36 to schedule a report to run in the background.
To create a variant, go to the Selection Screen of the program, enter in whatever information, and click save.

Scheduling one background job inside another

Hi All,
Is it possible to Scheduling one background job inside another.? i.e In my Z program I am calling job_open, job_submit, job_close and to execute one standard report in background. And after that I am executing my Z program itself from SE38 as Program->Execute->Background->Execute Immediately. Is this logically correct? I am asking this because I am not getting the desired result
Thanks & Regards,
Neethu.

HI,
Check the job steps in SM36.
First schedule the Standard job and in the job steps schedule the z report.
Schedule job in chain

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,

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
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

How to Cancel a ACTIVE background Job scheduled in SM37.

Hi Friends,
I have scheduled a Background job. The job is ACTIVE now. How can I cancel this job?
Regards,
Viji

There is a last ditch method for jobs that don't get canceled for some reason or the other
Go to SM50 - first try canceling the job from there
If that doesn't work, note down the Process ID (PID) of the job
Take direct OS access to your system (You would need your Basis person for this) and terminate the job
If the server is Windows based, you can end it using the task manager and end that process id

Hi any one please explain background job scheduling

Background 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 advance

Hi,
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

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
IMPORTING
jobcount = jobcount
EXCEPTIONS
cant_create_job = 1
invalid_job_data = 2
jobname_missing = 3
OTHERS = 4.
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
IMPORTING
out_archive_parameters = arc_params
out_parameters = print_params
valid = valid
EXCEPTIONS
archive_info_not_found = 1
invalid_print_params = 2
invalid_archive_params = 3
OTHERS = 4.
IF valid = chk.
SUBMIT yREP WITH s_kunnr IN s_cust
AND RETURN
USER sy-uname

NUMBER jobcount

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
EXPORTING

jobname = jobname
strtimmed = 'X'
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.
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.
