Jobs at OS level..

How to schedule background jobs at OS level?

Hi
Each job requires a background process and a job may consist of one more steps
You have to chose from the following
1)ABAP program/with or with variant
2)External command
3)External program
External command: These commands are used to execute certain functionality in the system,
External Program: When it requires a program in the external system we can use this facility. We need to specify the program, parameter and target host . Sap xpg is the executable which will run the external program

Schedule background jobs at OS level.....

Hi All,
Scheduling Background Jobs at SAP Level is a very simple task. Is there any way to schedule background jobs at OS level? Please lemme ASAP....
Thanks
Rhishabh

Hi Rhishabh,
Actually we can not completely schedule background at OSLevel but we can trigger a background job which has alreadyscheduled by using sapevt tool syntax as follows.
sapevt <event name> nr=<instance name> name=<host name>
or we have tool like
In unix you use crontab.
We can use different job scheduling softwares like IBM TIVOLI software MAESTRO JOB SCHEDULING CONSOLE, Control M

How to Schedule SAP background job at OS Level

Hi All,
Can Anyone tell me how to Schedule SAP background job at OS Level (unix).
Regards,
Anil

Hi Anil,
I donu2019t know your requirements, anyway itu2019s possible to setup your SAP job in order to start after an event, and after that you can get the event triggered from the Operating System in the following way:
- log into you Operating System with the SIDadm user id (at the Operating System level) and go to directory /usr/sap/SID/SYS/exe/run
- Run the SAPEVT executable as follows:
sapevt YOUR_EVENT -t pf=/usr/sap/SID/SYS/profile/DEV_DVEBMGS00_server001 nr=01
This will raise the event, and cause the job scheduled within SAP to execute.
You can periodically execute this job with crontab.

How can u schedule or monitor Bacground jobs from OS level?

Hello,
I was faced one question recently in IBM interview,, How can u schedule or monitor Background Jobs through OS level.anyone pls help me.
regards,
balaram

In my knowledge, for scheduling background jobs in windows we can use scheduler.
In unix flavours, cronjobs or at commands can be used.
Again it depends on which version of OS we use.
hope this helps.

Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "SAPLARFC" - in
     "DELETE_ARFC_ORPHANS_WO_COMMIT".
    The main program was "SAPMSSY1 ".
    In the source code you have the termination point in line 508
    of the (Include) program "LARFCF06".
    The termination is caused because exception "CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB" occurred in
    procedure "DELETE_ARFC_ORPHANS_WO_COMMIT" "(FORM)", but it was neither handled
     locally nor declared
    in the RAISING clause of its signature.
    The procedure is in program "SAPLARFC "; its source code begins in line
    489 of the (Include program "LARFCF06 ".
Now I want to find how this dead lock is created and which two (programs or JOB's) causing this dead lock.
And program "APLARFC" is not a exicutable program and even I try to where used list I am not able to find exicutable program.
now I need to find which are the two programs or jobs causing this loack.
Thanks in Advance,

DI job causing high levels of I/O on database server

We have a DI job that is loading a sql server 2005 database. When the facts are loaded itu2019s causingu2019s a high level of I/O on the database server causing the DI job to slow down. No more than 5 facts are loaded concurrently. The fact dataflows all have a sql transform to run the select query against the DB, a few query transforms to do lookups to get dimension keys, and all do inserts to the target. The DBA says there are too many DB connections open and DI is not closing them. My thinking was DI would manage the open connections for lookup, etc and would close then properly when the dataflow is complete.
Any thoughts on what else would cause high levels of DB I/O?
Additional Info:
- Run the DI job, source and target tables are in SQL Server, and it takes 5 hours.
- Run the same DI job again, on the same data set, and it takes 12+ hours. This run will have high levels on DB I/O.
- But if SQL Server is stopped and restart, the job will again take 5 hours the first time it runs.
Edited by: Chris Sam on Apr 15, 2009 3:43 PM

There are a lot of areas of a DI Job that can be tuned for performance, but given the fact that your job runs fine after the database is restarted, it sounds like a problem with the database server and not the Data Integrator job.
There are a lot of resources out there for dealing with SQL Server disk IO bottlenecks. As a minimum first step all of them will recommend putting your .mdf and .ldf files on seperate drives and using Raid 10 for the .mdf file.

Solution Manager 7.1 - Monitor scripts which runs as cron job at OS level ?

Hi All,
We have Solution Manager 7.1 in our landscape and we have configured RCA, Monitoring.. Is it possible to Monitor the scripts running as Cron Job at the OS level?
If in case, the script stops due to an issue, we need to get the alert in Solution Manager.
Also can you please let us know whether it is possible to monitor jobs scheduled through external job scheduling tool.
Thanks & Regards,
Vaishali.K

Hi,
How to Schedule the background Job at the OS level:
Invoke a sapevent using a OS script and then have a SAP background job set to run on a sapevent. I say this assuming Unix and a job in crontab. I would guess the same thing could be done on a Windows system.
sapevt TRIGGER_NAME -t
pf=d:usrsapDEVsysprofileDEV_DVEBMGS00_SVRNAME nr
Kindly go through the links,hope this will help you out

Linked report from second level drill-down level

Hi,
I have a report with two drill-down levels, Dept Id and Job Id.
The requirement is when I am on Job Id drill level; I have to call another report when I click on any of the Job Id. This Job Id is passed to another report and the report is filtered based on that Job Id.
I created a hyperlink on Job Id drill down level successfully. But the problem is I am unable to go to the first level i.e Dept Id. Actually the hyperlink is displayed and the up arrow is not visible to go to the first level.
Is there any way where after creating a link on second level and opening the report in a new window, the drill up functionality can be maintained?
I am using Business Objects XI 3.1 version.
Thank you.

hi
there is another way to drill down the report of web intelligence.for that we have to customize in the universe level create a folder in custom hierarchy and add your two objects to that folder, i.e empid. and deptid. the order of these objects should be in the way the drilling happens that means if you want to drill down from empid. to deptid. then empid. should be the first object of the folder,save and export the universe to the CMS.Then it ready to use for webi report.Build the query for the report and enable the drill option in the report.Now the report is ready for your requirement.
thanks & regards

Hi,
Check SAP Note:16083, which gives the list of Standard and Reorganization jobs which needs to be scheduled in SAP systems.
Also check SAP Note:1034532 as well.
also look at this

Issue with Total Number of SODs at user level.

Friends,
Quick question -
We are using GRC 5.3 Production on NT 20003 server. and back end systems are ECC 6.0
1.We added the Additional Role to one of the business users in ECC 6.0
2.We ran the FULL synch after adding this role in backend.
Issue : The total number of SODs did not change for users, even though the SODs for this business users did increase about 300.
Locations of Screen
Informer Tab ->> Risk Violoations.
Analysis Type -> Users
Does anyone has any idea how this numbers get interpreted?
The Total number of Violations for permission should increase, if user level SOD gets increased, as per our understanding.
PT

It should be in below sequence -
1. Full or incremental sync for user/role/profile
2. Full or incremental batch risk analysis for role/user/profile
3. Management report
The view you see is management report, which is based upon above jobs. FIrst jobs does high level sync like user/role/profile addition/deletion etc. Second job actually does risk analysis. Third one fills up the management view. If your batch risk analysis was run on Aug 30 aug 10 and management report after completion of the same, the report will show the same data till you run these jobs again even there are many changes in backend authorization.
Hope it clarifies your query.

Sabita

RMAN script for Unix

We have decided to abandon user managed hot backups and go with RMAN. Could you critizize the following approach and see if we are missing anything? I am making whole database backup and controlfile and archivelogs. I am using RMAN catalog.
In a Unix script setting all of the environment variables and then
connect target ********
connect catalog *********
configure snapshot controlfile to '${ORACLE_HOME}/snapshot_${ORACLE_SID}_${TIMESTAMP}_ctl';
run {
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
allocate channel c3 type disk;
backup database plus archivelogs;
release channel c1;
release channel c2;
p.s. control file autobackup is on
Also, I have these questions:
1. How do I direct the output of this backup to a file?
2. Is there a way to check for errors within this file to see if the backup went ok?
3. Would anyone have a unix shell script example of the above?
4. How do I make sure that catalog is synched with control file and what is on the file system?
5. Is it customary to delete archive logs via RMAN script if, say, my policy is to keep it on the file system for 7 days?
thank you for any input!

Hi,
You didnot mention the db version, assumed it's 10g.
If you planned to schedule this job at os level, you might use crontab (unix). The snapshot controlfile config can set with catalog once, so it's not needed to include in your backup script. Like wise your retention can set as "recovery window of 7 days".
1. How do I direct the output of this backup to a file?
==> inside rman script you might use the following command,
set log to '/home/oracle/rmanbkp.log';
2. Is there a way to check for errors within this file to see if the backup went ok?
==> you might check in the logfile for ORA- and RMAN- errors.
3. Would anyone have a unix shell script example of the above?
I use to schedule this job either by OEM or crontab using rman script file.
4. How do I make sure that catalog is synched with control file and what is on the file system?
RMAN will do auto sync with controlfile.
5. Is it customary to delete archive logs via RMAN script if, say, my policy is to keep it on the file system for 7 days?
Upon successful backup you may delete the archivelogs or you might decide to keep it for 7 days and then delete by applying "delete obsolete" command.

Compare two characteristics in Query

Hi Experts,
I have to compare two characteristics in Query fields like (A)Approved Level of Job(contain values like 01,02,03,04) and (B)Required Level of Job(contain values like 01,02,03,04).
Now I have to do these calculations
If A>B =1
If A<B =0
And also in other case
If A=b then value 1
Of A =/= B then value 0
Please let me know how I can achieve this.
These values could be in A,B,C,D instead of 01,02,03,04 then in that case how I will calculate these comparison.
Thanks
Take care
Vishal sharma

Hi,
i need the solution in this format on the comparison two characteristics in Query:
0=false
1=true
Approved Level of Job(A)     Required Level of Job(B)      A=B         A not equal B     A>B               A<B
     1                                                         3                                       0                         1                      0                 1

     3                                                         3                                        1                         0                      1                 1
     5                                                         4                                       0                         1                      1                 0
     1                                                         2                                       1                         1                      0                 1
count(A):5                        Count(B)5                                 sum 2                 sum 4           sum 3         sum 3
so my CKF will be
A>B/5 means 3/5=60%
I also need to know how i am going to count A and B too.
thanks

How to stop a DIA process ?

hi all,
In SM50, there is one DIA has been running for long hours. I have tried deleting it from SM50 --> Process --> Cancel Without Core.
I also tried to delete its session from SM04.
But all failed.
any suggestion ?
regards,
kent

how ?
as mentioned the job is so stubborn until it cannot be stopped in SM50, even the session was killed in SM04, the same still comes back.
the only way is to kill the job at OS level ... seems like in OS/400 there is no way to kill a job by the job PID .... the only way to stop the job is to stop the WP ...
any as/400 guys out there to comment ?
thanks.
