Job Scheduling question

If I request a ob to be scheduled with the command:
dbms_job.submit()
How can I monitor the status of the job
Which table do I need to perform a select on ?
Thanks

You can answer any question about the dictionary views by issuing
select *
from dict
where table_name like '%'||upper('&keyword')||'%'
in your case 'job'
This should result in dba_jobs, dba_jobs_running and user_jobs

Webview Job Scheduler Questions

If you schedule a report to run in Webview - does the user have to be logged in to Webview for the report to run?
Also - where do the reports actaully go?
We are taking on a new business that wants some webview reports shceudled to run and dump to a location so they can grab them and import them into their own reporting database/dashboards.
I know we have another customer that has something similar setup - but it was done by a 3rd party contractor before I was on the team.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ronnie,
Couple of things to note:
Webview Job Scheduler uses Windows Task Scheduler to schedule reports
As such, PC needs to remain on and the user who scheduled the job must be logged into WebView at the time the job is scheduled to be run (also needs to remain logged in if you are exporting to file and the drive you are exporting to is a mapped drive)
User who is scheduling the reports needs to be an administrator of the machine they are scheduling from in order to create the Scheduled Tasks
When you output locally to a drive letter. It automatically goes into a Drive:\Job_Scheduler\ directory
Hope that helps. The requirement for local admin rights is a real pain as usually in most environments it's end business users who are trying to do this and IT departments don't like giving them local admin rights to their PCs...
Cheers,
Nathan

Job schedule question

Hi:
If I make a change to a job, will the scheduled job need to be re-activate for the new change to take effect? Or will BOBJ recognize the change without having to re-activate the scheduled job?
Thanks in advance.

You can change all the objects (like dataflows, workflows, ...) in the job, it will not affect the job schedule (so no need to re-activate).
The job schedule uses the GUID to identify the job in the repo, this will not change when you modify objects in the job. So the next time the schedulesd job is executed it will get the new job definition automatically.

Basis job scheduling question

A job was set up by one of our consultant it was running fine but now it has been failing. I need to change the userid on this job, how can this be done....???
Sorry if I have posted this on the wrong forum.
Regards

You can step into SM37, select the failed job and use the menu to "reschedule" it under a different user.
The other possibility is to just copy the job.

Weekly Job scheduling question

Hi all,
I need to create a job that is required to run every sunday at 18:00.
where can i set the time (sunday 18:00)?
in start condition->start immediately->period job->period values, does 'weekly' need to be selected? how about the time?
there is another job running every saturday, but i didn't find any setting that could be helpful.
thanks.

Hi,
Yes you are right. Please start condition->start immediately->period job->period values, does 'weekly' and specify the time i.e. Start Date & Start Time. The same time would be continued every Sunday.
Best regards,
Prashant

Question on Job Scheduling in SAP

Hi Experts,
I want to schedule a job to run every half hour from 7 am to 5 pm on Mondays to Fridays. That is, the job should not run on Saturday or Sunday, or after 5 pm on the weekends. Any information on how I can do this will be greatly appreciated!

Deborah,
Solution 1:
Does your company use an external job scheduling software such as Control-M, AutoSys, or Maestro? If so, have them schedule the job for you. They have much more flexibility than what SAP's job scheduling allows.
Solution 2:
This is a laborious process, but can be implemented without doing any additional development. You have to create 22 separate jobs. Each job will run at a specific time on every working day according to your factory calendar. First one will run only at 7 AM, second one at 7:30 AM, and so on.
Solution 3:
Develop a wrapper ABAP program as suggested by others.

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

Drop/Create sequence using Oracle Job Scheduler

IDE for Oracle SQL Development: TOAD 9.0
Question: I am trying to do the following:
1. Check if a certain sequence exists in the user_sequences table
2. Drop the sequence if it exists
3. Re-create the same sequence afterward
All in a job that is scheduled to run daily at 12:00 AM.
What I would like to know is if this is even possible in the first place with Oracle jobs. I tried the following:
1. Create the actual "BEGIN...END" anonymous block in the job.
2. Create a procedure that uses a dynamic SQL string using the same "BEGIN...END" block that drops and recreates the sequence using the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE commands
But I have failed on all accounts. It always produces some sort of authorization error which leads me to believe that DDL statements cannot be executed using jobs, only DML statements.
BTW, by oracle jobs, I mean the SYS.DBMS_JOBS.SUBMIT object, not the job scheduler.
Please do not ask me why I need to drop and recreate the sequence. It's just a business requirement that my clients gave me. I just want to know if it can be done using jobs. If not, I would like to know if there are any work-arounds possible.
Thank you.

Please do not ask me why I need to drop and recreate the sequence. It's just a business requirement that my clients gave me. I just want to know if it can be done using jobs. If not, I would like to know if there are any work-arounds possible.Well, I won't ask you then, but can you ask your clients why on earth they would want that?
Do they know that doing DDL 'on the fly' will invalidate the dependent objects?
Best shot you can give at it is reset the sequence. And you could do it in a job, yes, as long as it's interval is during some maintenance window (no active users).
Regarding resetting a sequence, you, (and your clients) should read this followup:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1119633817597
(you can find lots more info on sequences and jobs by doing a search from the homepage http://asktom.oracle.com)
Regarding the authorization errors: your DBA should be able to provide you the nessecary privileges.
But in the end, this is something I'd rather not would like to see implemented on a production system...

Parallel processing in background using Job scheduling...

(Note: Please understand my question completely before redirecting me to parallel processing links in sdn. I hve gone through most of them.)
Hi ABAP Gurus,
I have read a bit till now about parallel processing. But I have a doubt.
I am working on data transfer of around 5 million accounting records from lagacy to R/3 using Batch input recording.
Now if these all records reside in one flat file and if I then process that flat file in my batch input program, I guess it will take days to do it. So my boss suggested
to use parallel processing in SAP.
Now, from the SDN threads, it seems that we have to create a Remote enabled function module for it and stuf....
But I have a different idea. I thought to dividE these 5 million records in 10 flat files instead of just one and then to run the Custom BDC program with 10 instances which will process 10 flat files in background using Job scheduling.
Can this be also called parallel processing ?
Please let me know if this sounds wise to you guys...
Regards,
Tushar.

Thanks for your reply...
So what do you suggest how can I use Parallel procesisng for transferring 5 million records which is present in one flat file using custom BDC.?
I am posting my custom BDC code for million record transfer as follows (This code is for creation of material master using BDC.)

NWA Job scheduler, how to change parameters?

Dear guys,
moving to AEX (java-only) the ABAP Stack is gone.
Regarding job scheduling there is no more transaction sm37, but Job scheduler within NWA to be used for scheduling jobs.
I configured a job for the predefined job definition AlertConsumerJob to get emails in case of alerts.
Doing this the questions arises how to change parameters once a job is scheduled e.g. add additional email receiver.
So far is seems you have to stop the configured job and define a NEW one from scratch by providing all job parameters. It seems not possible to adjust a job.
This is not very comfortable?
Is there an workaround / solution for this?
Best regards
Jochen

Hello Gaurav
thanks for your reply.
It's a pity, but shows that there is still some room of improvement regarding AEX functionality (java only)
Best regards
Jochen

Hi,
Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting autogrowth
on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the database.
To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.
As to the issue that the job executed successfully for the next run when executed, I think it can be caused by someone or something had made something to increase the space.
The following document about Add Data or Log Files to a Database is for your reference:

If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Running Job Scheduler in Restricted Session

I want the database to be in Restricted Session while my ETL load is running via the Job Scheduler so that users will not be able to access tables during the load. When I put it in restricted session however all scheduled jobs cease to run. What user needs Restricted Session privilege? Is it DBSNMP? Is this an acceptable practice?
Thanks,
Susan

Hi Susan,
Sorry for the delay in replying, I was testing this out and talking with another developer. It turns out that you are right.
The Scheduler will not begin running any new jobs or new job chain steps while the database is in restricted mode.
This is intended behaviour and there is no workaround for this. The job coordinator will simply not start any new jobs if it sees that the database is in restricted mode.
This design choice was made a long time ago and isn't currently planned to be changed (although there have been some questions about it so it may in future).
Unfortunately you will need to find another way around this.

SAP tables that underlie job scheduler

Has anyone ever queried the tables that support the job scheduling system in SAP? I need to list each scheduled job name and the email recipients, where applicable, that receive the given job's output. Our company was recently sold, and our email address domain is changing, so numerous jobs need checked and changed. Having this ability would accelerate this process greatly.
Thanks,
Eric

Hi Eric,
This may be a question for one of the ABAP forums.
The table is TBTCO. And the field is RECOBJKEY. You may need to do some debugging to figure out how to convert it back to an email address.
Cheers,
Ramki Maley.

Hi Aurélien GARDE ,
I am not very clear about your question, however I am assuming that you are getting the error when running the Background Job , If this is the case ,please check following
1) http://:/sap/CCBgStatus.jsp - it should come up with status u201Crunningu201D
2) Check Analysis Engine Daemon Manager
Type URL http://:/sap/CCADStatus.jsp - it should come up with
status u201Crunningu201D By default you should see 3 bg job threads and 5 web services threads per server
Could you please let us know the findings ,If there is blank screen for step 2, then you need to apply note number 999785 , which will resolve your issue.

Has anyone built a job scheduling interface for BMC's Control-M product

Has anyone built a job scheduling interface for BMC's Control-M product? If so - how did you notify control-m when the XI job completed successfully versus unsuccessfully?

Have you received any help on this? I would like to know the answer to this question.
