Periodic Batch Job Set u

I have created a new batch job in SM36 and is scheduled to be triggered every 15 Mins. My Questions I wanted to Schedule my batch job in Such a way that if by the next 15 mins the Job is still running it should not start the batch job. The next 15 min job should be executed after the previous one is completed.
Please let me know the option using SM36
Regards,
Swaroop

Hi Swaroop,
you can create a lock object in SE11 which you lock at start of your abap job step and release in the end. When the 2nd job starts and he can't lock that object, he should stop immediately.

How to create a batch-job dynamically?

Hello,
I would like to create a batch-job from within my abap code.
Therefore I want to determine a abap-report to be executed every X-Hours.
Do you have some sample code for creating a batch job?
I need to do it in abap because I want to create a TN to trigger the code creating the job.
So the user interaction will be minimal to start a periodic batch job.
thanks.

Hi Daniel,
select options could be stored by export/import to/from database:
      DESCRIBE TABLE t_vkpos LINES n.
      READ TABLE t_vkpos INDEX n.
      lastmaxvbeln = t_vkpos-vbeln.
      PERFORM get_varimemkey USING p_vari CHANGING vkposmemkey.
      EXPORT lastmaxvbeln TO DATABASE indx(zk) ID vkposmemkey.
      IF NOT sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
      PERFORM get_varimemkey USING p_vari CHANGING vkposmemkey.
      IMPORT lastmaxvbeln FROM DATABASE indx(zk) ID vkposmemkey.
      IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.
        ls_vbeln-sign   = 'I'.
        ls_vbeln-option = 'GT'.
        ls_vbeln-low    = lastmaxvbeln.
        APPEND ls_vbeln.
      ENDIF
FORM get_varimemkey USING    vari TYPE raldb_vari
                    CHANGING memkey TYPE char22.
IF vari IS INITIAL.
    RAISE get_varimemkey_unexepected.

Can U set breakpoint within a batch job and look at variables?

Hello friends,
I am trying to solve a problem that occurs within a program / transaction which can only be executed in background. The transaction in question is FPCOPARA and apparently this program cannot be executed in foreground.
If I understand well, we cannot set breakpoints within a background job and as a result we cannot inspect variable etc. during job execution. So the question is how to achieve the same goal within a batch job? How did you do it? As this is a standard SAP transacrtion, no program modification can be applied.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi......
After u have executed ur batch job..
go to sm37 >>select ur job using checkbox>>enter 'JDBG' in transaction box and press enter
now debugger will start ..initial it will go through system code..after after a while the debugger will reach to your code and den you can debug the remaining report....
all the best

Setting default date range in selection screen when executing as batch job.

Hi Guys,
I have one report to be scheduled as weekly batch job and one of the selection screen field is date range. If i set this report to run today then the date range will be from one week back date(Lower value) to today date(Higher value). When it runs for next week(Already scheduled as weekly batch job) the date range should be like this
Lower value = today date
higher value= next week run date.
How can i achieve this functionality. Is it possible through Dynamic variant concept?. Rest of the selection screen fields have some default values and should not change.
<REMOVED BY MODERATOR>
Thanks in advance,
Vinod.

Hi Vinod,
Would suggest you to this.
Create two parameters : p_start_date and p_end_date of type sy-datum on your selection screen , instead of a range.
Now goto create a variant from SE38 for the report.
While creating the variant, mark the "Selection Variable" checkbox for the two parameters and click on "Selection Variables".
Select the option "D: Dynamic date calculation" for both the date fields.
For p_start_date - select the option "Current Date"
For p_end_date - select the option "Current date +/- ??? days" and put 7 in the pop up.
Hence what you have done now is, set up a dynamic variant, where p_start_date will have sy-datum and p_end_date will have sy-datum + 7, everytime the job runs.
Now, in the program, first step after START-OF-SELECTION code the following:
RANGES: r_date FOR sy-datum.
start-of-selection.
refresh r_date.
r_date-sign = 'I'. r_date-option = 'BT'.
r_date-low = p_start_date. r_date-high = p_end_date.
append r_date.
Hence this way, you would have built your range and use it as needed.
Cheers,
Aditya

Set up a Batch Job

Hi Everyone,
I created a sample report using Crystal Reports and was wondering if it can be set up as a batch job. Do we have the option of setting up batch jobs in Crystal reports?
Thanks
Kumar..

Is this a one-time requirement, or do you anticipate having many reports setup this way? If you are proficient, you could create a VB application to run the report, then schedule it, but batch scheduling is one of the primary uses for Crystal Reports Server (or BO Edge/BOE). It also provides delivery capabilities (FTP, email, etc) and history tracking. I think there are a few third-party tools that facilitate scheduling, but you can purchase CR Server with 5 named users for about $2500.

Does setting the PLOGI PRELU switch to BTCI trigger batch job

Hello HR Experts,
When I set the PLOGI PRELU switch to BTCI do I have to schedule the batch job to run daily or will it run automatically by just setting the BTCI switch?
Thanks.

Hi, 
You have to create a job and assign the RHINTE report. It has to be done once manually and job will take care every other time.
Good luck 
Thanks,

How to schedule batch jobs to run after another periodically?

Hi good people,
I want to schedule batch jobs to run periodically one after another.
Here is the problem:
I have scheduled JOB1 to run once a week and I scheduled JOB2 to run after that job (JOB1). The problem is that JOB2 runs only after the first time that JOB1 runs. The second time the JOB1 runs the JOB2 is not started. I presume that the reason for that is that JOB2 is tied to the job number for the JOB1, and since a new job (with the new number) is created every week, the JOB2 is only tied to the first instance of JOB1.
So does anyone have an idea how to get JOB2 to automatically run every week after JOB1? One idea is to use events, but that I'm hoping that there is a bit cleaner solution..
Best Regards,
Armin

Hi
Try scheduling both JOB1 & JOB2 in a single job in steps.
First schedule JOB1 & then give JOB2 in steps.
Kindly check the following link to do job scheduling in steps:

hope it helps!

Spool not getting created in batch job

Hello experts,
We have a requirement of printing BA00, BA01 and LD00 from different application.
We have done same code for all BA00, BA01, and LD00.
Normally the code is working fine except in few cases, when batch job is created but spool is not created.
DATA: job_name TYPE tbtcjob-jobname,
 number TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount,
 print_parameters TYPE pri_params,
 wv_pripar TYPE pri_params,
 wv_arcpar TYPE arc_params,
 wv_val TYPE c VALUE 'X',
 wv_false TYPE c VALUE 'X',
 gv_mandt TYPE tsp01-rqclient,
 gv_user TYPE tsp01-rqowner.
 CLEAR: gv_mandt, gv_user, number.
 gv_mandt = sy-mandt.
 gv_user = sy-uname.
 job_name = 'DELIVERY_PRINTING'.
 CLEAR: range1.
 range1-sign = 'I'.
 range1-option = 'EQ'.
 range1-low = 'LD00'.
 CLEAR: range1-high.
 APPEND range1 TO range.
 CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
 EXPORTING
 jobname = job_name
 IMPORTING
 jobcount = number
 EXCEPTIONS
 cant_create_job = 1
 invalid_job_data = 2
 jobname_missing = 3
 OTHERS = 4.
 IF sy-subrc = 0.
 SUBMIT sd70av2a WITH rg_kschl IN range
 WITH rg_vbeln IN deli_tab
 TO SAP-SPOOL
 SPOOL PARAMETERS print_parameters
 WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO
 VIA JOB job_name NUMBER number
 AND RETURN.
 IF sy-subrc = 0.
 CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
 EXPORTING
 jobcount = number
 jobname = job_name
 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
 OTHERS = 8.
 IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 ENDIF.
 ENDIF.
 WAIT UP TO 10 SECONDS.
** to give the data to the printer***
* CLEAR gv_rqident.
 SELECT SINGLE listident INTO gv_listident FROM tbtcp
 WHERE jobname = job_name
 AND jobcount = number.
 IF sy-subrc = 0.
 MOVE gv_listident to gv_rqident.
 CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_OUTPUT_SPOOL_REQUEST'
 EXPORTING
 spool_request_id = gv_rqident.
 ENDIF.
The same code is for all the output BA00, BA01 and LD00.
The issue is that for few batch jobs (which is created in the above code) , spool is not getting created.
Thanks and Regards,
Paritosh Pandey

Hi,
The code starting from WAIT UP TO 10 SECONDS. - not only does it look attrocious, is error prone (if no free process for executing batch job is available for 10 seconds, or if the job runs for more than 10 seconds, what will happen...?), but seems utterly unnecessary... Is there any reason immediate spool output can not be handled by simply setting PRINT_PARAMETERS-PRIMM = 'X'?
cheers,
Janis
Edit in:
Ok, i just read Document in spool but not printed... Do not use an output device relying on frontend access methods to do printing from background processing. Frontend is not available during background processing, period. To my knowledge there is no easy, clean solution to this problem other than defining and assigning, per user, output devices not relying on frontend printing. What if the dialog user has logged off by the time batch job finishes..? May the spool remain unprinted?
Has the SAP Basis refused to define output devices (I have hard time believing this...)? Well, tell them one time to stop being silly and if they do not cooperate, tell the owner of the requirement that it can not be implemented due to uncooperative Basis then... and that the users will have to keep going to SP01 and manualy start the output!

How to trigger IDOC in a batch job?

hi,
My requirement is that a batch job must run on R/3 side to check if bank data are created or changed.Any creation or update in table BNKA will trigger an IDOC
If a record is created IDOC BANK_CREATE01 should be triggered and
If a record is changed/deleted IDOC BANK_CHANGE01 should be triggered
A background program should run periodically (every hour) and check the table CDHDR for object class BANK.
The program must check if any new entry exist in the table since the last run.
New records can be identified according to the fields UDATE and UTIME.
According to the change indicator (CHANGE_IND) the program will determine if the IDOC_CREATE (changeID=I) should be run or IDOC_CHANGE (changeID=U or D).
If change ID=D, then deletion indicator will be set in the CHANGE IDOC.
Can anybody tell me how will i write the code for this and how to trigger IDOc as i very basic knowledge in ABAP
Thanks & Regards,
Loveena

hi
whenever changes made to an application document.u want to replicate these changes in target system u have to work with cahngepointers
RBDMIDOC is the program which u have to schedule background

Ad hoc Query batch job

HI All
SAP HR - Adhoc query can be scheduled as a batch job?
There are a few monthly adhoc queries that are run by users, can these be automated as scheduled jobs every month, with out ABAP programming required.
Cheers
Dinesh

Hi Dinesh.
Yes it is possible.
Just run a query via selection screen then select Program->Execute in Background and specify it as periodic job when period is monthly also set the date and time in the scheduled start fields.
Set output to ALV.
After the job is done the results can be checked via Own spool request (if the query was run for the current user) or SM37 transaction.

Sergey
