Long running background job

Hi,
We are facing problem with an MM job, this job some time finishes in few minutes or some times it will be running for a long time so that we should kill the job manually.
Can you please tell me what are the reasons can be for this, and also tell me what are the reasons that a job to be fnished in scheduled is running for a long time and how to find the root cause for this.
Yours reply is very much appreciated

Hi,
Please confirm you have enough hardware space.
Please do a consistency check of the BTC Processing System as follows:
1. Run Transaction SM65
2. Select Goto ... Additional tests
3. select these options: Perform TemSe check
                         Consistency check DB tables
                         List
                         Check profile parameters
                         Check host names
                         Determine no. of jobs in queue
                         All job servers
   and then click execute.
4. Once you get the results check to see if you have any inconsistencies
   in any of your tables.
5. If there are any inconsistencies reported then run the "Background
   Procesing Analyses" (SM65 .. Goto ... Additional Tests) again.
   This time check the "Consistency check DB tables" and the
   "Remove Inconsistencies" options.
6. Run this a couple of times until all inconsistencies are removed from
   the tables.
Make sure you run this SM65 check when the system is quiet and no other
batch jobs are running as this would put a lock on the TBTCO table till
it finishes. This table may be needed by any other batch job that is
running or scheduled to run at the time SM65 checks are running.
Please confirm you are running the following reports daily as per note #48400:
RSPO0041 (or RSPO1041), RSBTCDEL: To delete old TemSe objects
RSPO1043 and RSTS0020 for the consistency check.

Alert monitor for long running background jobs

Hello,
I have to configure an alert moniter for long running background jobs which are running more than 20000 secs using rule based. I have created a rule based MTE and assigend MTE class CCMS_GET_MTE_BY_CLASS to virtual node but i dont find a node to specify the time.
could any one guide me how can i do this.
Thanks,
Kasi

Hi *,
I think the missing bit is where to set the maximum runtime. The runtime is set in the collection method and not the MTE class.
process: rz20 --> SAP CCMS Technical Expert Monitors --> All Contexts on local application server --> background --> long-running jobs. Click on 'Jobs over Runtime Limits' then properties, click the methods tab then double click 'CCMS_LONGRUNNING_JOB_COLLECT', in the parameters tab you can then set the maximum runtime.
If you need to monitor specific jobs, follow the process (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/1d/ab3207b610e3408fff44d6b1de15e6/content.htm) to create the rule based monitor, then follow this process to set the runtime.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Riyaan.

Can a long running batch job causing deadlock bring server performance down

Hi
I have a customer having a long running batch job (approx 6 hrs), recently we experienced performance issue where the job now taking >12 hrs. The database server is crawling. Looking at the alert.log showing some deadlock,
The batch job are in fact many parallel child batch job that running at the same time, that would have explain the deadlock.
Thus, i just wondering any possibility that due to deadlock, can cause the whole server to be crawling, even connect to the database using toad is also getting slow or doing ls -lrt..
Thanks

According to documentation, complex deadlock can make the job appeared hang & affect throughput, but it didn't mentioned how it will make the whole server to slow down. My initial thought would be the rolling back and reconstruct of CR copy that would have use up the cpu.
I think your ideas on rolling back, CR construction etc. are good guesses. If you have deadlocks, then you have multiple processes working in the same place in the database at the same time, so there may be other "near-deadlocks" that cause all sorts of interference problems.
Obviously you could have processes queueing for the same resource for some time without getting into a deadlock.
You can have a long running update hit a row which was changed by another user after the update started - which woudl cause the long-running update to rollback and start again (Tom Kyte refers to this as 'write consistency' if you want to search his website for a discussion on the topic).
Once concurrent processes start sliding out of their correct sequences because of a few delays, it's possible for reports that used to run when nothing else was going on suddenly finding themselves running while updates are going on - and doing lots more reads (physical I/O) of the undo tablespace to take blocks a long way back into the past.
And so on...
Anyway, according to the customer, the problem seems to be related to the lgpr_size as the problem disappeared after they revert it back to its orignial default value,0. I couldn't figure out what the lgpr_size is - can you explain.
Thanks

SQL error "-911" while running background job

Hi Experts,
We are getting the below runtime error while a background job is run.

back because of a deadlock or timeout. Reason code "2". SQLSTATE=40001 row=1"
The error is happening at a delete statement.
Please let me know what might be the reason of this error and how this can be resolved.

Running Background jobs in peticular period every day

Hi All,
I want to run a background job to run every three minutes between 3:00 to 4:30 PST every day.
Can we run this kind of backgroud job.
Where to give end time for this.
Thanks
Anil

Hi,
Yes you can, when you create the job in sm36 you have the ability to have "no start after %date,time%"
I mean you can restrict the required date and time from Start0 "Condition ->Date & Time" tab of SM36
Scheduled start -- time --
No Start After -- time --

Krishna.

Running background job in Bw

Hi
I am trying to run a background job for an ODS but when i click on background job it says
"The return to a file on the app. server is only permitted in the backgrnd"
then when i go to sm37 no job is there,
I figured out what may be the problem and where it says
SPecification for return type and gives the options i tried selecting store in app server.it did give me a job number but in sm37 the job was cancelled itself as said no authority.
should i select the option store in workstation and if i do this will all the records be stored in this file.can i not go in sm37 and run the job to see the output.and if so please let me know how.
thanks

NO i think i was not clear in my ques.
I want to run a background job for an ODS data.i want to see the data in the ods.and as there are many records to look at will take a lot of time. so h ow should i run the bckground job.
.I tried option store in app.server.it says i dont have authority to save file on the application server.If we save a file on the application server can we delete it afterwards and what effect will it have on the app server if we store the file.
Second option i tried..store file on the workstation and after giving the file name when i select execute background gets the following error.
"SPecification for return type and gives the options i tried selecting store in app server.".
Please let me know how to do it.

How to set dynamic value for field Month when running background job ?

Dear guys,

Error in MRP Run- Background Job.

Hi PP Gurus,
I defined scope of planning for two plants and defined counter too. And set background job through Transaction code MDBT taking 24Hrs as Schedule selection parameter.
When I'm accessing MDBT after 24Hrs system is throwing following messages in Scheduling log:
1. Please check the destination for Parallel MRP (message no. MD251)
Diagnosis of Message:
No destination have been entered in Customizing or none of the destinations (application server) entered are active. In Customizing for MRP, you define the logical destinations (servers) to be used for parallel processing.
2. Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE (Message no. 00564)
Though I tried to enter to Customization through Message no. 1 but system is not allowing for it.
What could be the problem. No help is available through any OSS note also.
Please suggest the required solution in terms of Configuration or any other changes?
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Hi,
Two more queries:
1. If I don't want to go for Parallel Processing MRP, I don't have to select 'Parallel Processing' in Transaction code MDBT variant. But when I'm trying to change it system is not allowing me. It's not allowing me to go further without selection of it. What could be the reason behind it? Either Customization problem or any other?
2. If set 'Parallel Processing destination' through Customization, system is giving only Development server as available destination and also Customization Request is getting generated. But the request is going to be transported to Production server. Since Parallel Processing destination was selected 'Development server' earlier and now MRP will run on 'Production server', it has to be changed to 'Production server'. But as already mentioned Customization Request will be getting generated and further it is freeze for Customization. How could get rid of these issues?
Please come back with prompt comments.
Thanks & Regards,
Abu Arbab

Long running QueryDocumentProperties job crash

Hi,
I have a very simple piece of code using the Plumtree.Remote.PRC namespace, looping thru all document properties and checking for the presence of a specific value. Each time the code crashes around the time I visit about the 700th doc. The whole process takes a little less than 1 sec/doc.
Am I hitting some timeout problem here ?

Hi Dean,
We use version 5.0.4.
I have 2 jobs in fact. One is processing the cards in the order of their objectid, another picks the objectids from a hashtable (hence a different processing order). Both fail at around the same index (700), but not always the same, about a range of +/- 10. If I limit the job to a previously failed card, it does work, so I guess it can not be the data. The number of cards is 786. I ran the job again after completely removing the cards + their deletion history, same result. I'll run the job again with PTSpy on, but I think there was nothing special in it except:
209 05-20 08:45:19 Warn Plumtree.dll 14176 10924 PTInternalSession.cpp(3184) *** COM exception writing Log Message: IDispatch error #16389 (0x80044205): [Failed to open the log file for writing. log file: C:\Program Files\plumtree\ptportal\5.0\settings\logs\PTMachine.log]2 05-20 08:43:51 Warn Common Library 14176 10924 PTCommon.cpp(977) ***SetError *** (0x80044205): Error while writing message to log file.
which I do not understand either, the file is there and is perfectly writable.
I guess I'll try splitting the job in 2 and open a support incident.
Thanks.
Michel.

Not able run background job.

Hi
I am using GUI_Upload function module to upload excel content into internal table.
But the problem is when i run the program in background is not working but the job is successfully executed.
Note : the program is working fine in foreground.
Please help in resolving this.
Thanks & regards
sam

You will not be able to use GUI_UPLOAD in the background since it requires interaction with the local system. Instead upload your file into the application server and use OPEN DATASET and READ DATASET statements.
Please mark points if the solution was useful.
