Periodic Scheduling of sequencial background job

I schedule monthly & weekly planning jobs. These jobs are scheduled one after another in a sequence. frequency of running these jobs is fix hence I want to schedule it on periodic basis. It possible for me to schedule single background job periodically but I don't know how to schedule sequncial backgorund jobs on periodic basis.
Regards,
Chetan

Dear Siva,
Thanks for your reply.
for execution of single job periodically I am following the same procedure mentioned by you.
I scheduled background jobs one after another by clicking on start condition & in pop-up select "After job". this way I schedule 7 to 8 jobs one after another.
So in first scheduled job you will find 7 to 8 successor jobs.
Now if I try to make it periodic, then only first job becomes periodic & successor jobs doesn't get released periodically.
I want to make entire chain of jobs to be scheduled peiodic.

Chetan

Job Name of a Program scheduled as a Background Job

Hi,
In our production system. We have a program which is scheduled to run in the background by various job names. At runtime, I need the program to figure out under which Job Name is it running. I dont think there is any system field which stores the Job Name of the background job.
Any inputs?

Hi,
It will run in default with <b>the name of the program</b>.
Goto SM36 and put a * in job name u will see all the jobs that are schedule, if u specify the program name for the job schedule u will get that list alone.
U can differentiate by seeing the time the job was scheduled.

Certain Maintenance Plan not getting scheduled in the background job

Hi Gurus,
I am facing an issue here.
A weekly background job (RISTRA20) runs every weekend and schedules the maintenance plans.
But we have noticed that some maintenance plans are not getting scheduled. i.e no orders or schedule is getting generated.
When I run IP30 manually for these plans then the schedule gets generated and orders get called.
I have checked up the background job and it is running fine.
Also, i have noticed a similarity in all these plans which are not getting scheduled. There schedule has been restarted (through IP10) at somepoint or the other.
But i don't see any direct impact of this?
Can any of you provide some help on this?? Points will be rewarded.
Thanks and regards,
Nitin Saini

Hi Narender,
Thanks for replying.
The message number for 'Groups don't match' is ME303.
I think this does not have anything to do with the restart as i have done further investigation.
Whenever I run IP30 with sortfield input as AS02*, i get the error as mentioned above for a certain number of maintenance plans while the remaining plans get scheduled.
If i run IP30 for any other sort fields, it runs fine and i don't encounter the error
mentioned above.
If you send me ur email address, i could forward you screen-shots of the issue.

PASS DATA TO A REPORT BEING SCHEDULED AS A BACKGROUND JOB

Moderator message: please do not use ALL CAPITALS in your subject
Hi All,
I need to pass some data to a Zreport_submit which I would be calling using SUBMIT statement from another Zreport_main. The report being called through the SUBMIT statement i.e. Zreport_submit will be scheduled as a backgroung job i.e. using addition VIA JOBNAME xx JOBNUMBER yy.
How can I pass data from Zreport_main to Zreport_submit. There are 2 values that are required to be passed.
Thanks-
Harmeet,

Hi Harmeet,
What I get from your question is
is that u need to call a program using SUBMIT statement in the background and u need to feed some values into the program may be into the selection-acreen so u can use
SUBMIT <prog name>
with parameter1 = value1 .
where parameter1 is the part of selection-acreen of the prog which was calld.

Scheduler and the background jobs page

I have just added a job to the sling scheduler, I thougt once added i was be shown in the background jobs page in the tools of cq5.
Does Sling scheduler nothin to do with that? how could add a job background to the background jobs page in the tools of cq5??
Thanks.

For your use case you should be able to see at http://localhost:4502/system/console/events
For the background jobs ex:- [1] will be displayed in tools.

Scheduled TMS_ # TMS_TP_IMPORT background jobs fail with error code 0232

Is anyone else having the problem we've just encountered since upgrading to ECC 6.0 and CRM 2007, where once setting up the automatic import ALL background jobs, to have all of the Transport Change Requests imported into the Q-Prod testing systems automatically, fail after several successful runs?
After setting up the automatic import background job to run every 15 minutes, the first few run successfully (importing any transports as it should), then the transports stop being imported.
The background jobs continue to run, but have the following in the job log overviews CRM 2007 - "Could not start transport control program tp". R\3 ECC 6.0 - "Transport control program tp ended with error code 0232".
Only by deleting the background job and recreating it (or manually importing) from STMS, can the transports continue to be imported. Although I have noticed that there are multiple tp.exe processes started, which need to be deleted before the STMS and TMS Background jobs work again.
The:
   DB is SQL Server 2005
   disp+work is at version 7000.150.14.48855
   R3Trans is at version 7000.149.14.47907
   tp is at version 7000.144.14.39594
Any suggestions on how to cure this for good?

Thanks All
FYI
SAP first suggested the following notes: 19466, 1150361, and to add a Startup profile parameter rfc/use_gwstart = 1. Which was only partially successful.
I guess it had more to do with RFC processes hanging than it did with the tp, which was fixed in a later kernel patch level.
I've upgraded the kernel to the latest (70000.181.0.0) and my problem was fixed.

Problems with background job

Hi,
I have problems when creating a job that is supposed to be run once in background. I use the common steps as described below. My problem is that the report is executed twice.
- First it is executed synchronously when the job is created
- Then it is executed in the normal job step as I want it to do
I don't want it to be executed the first time because it creates data!!!
Code:
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
     EXPORTING
          jobname = w_jobid
     IMPORTING
          jobcount = w_jobnr
          sdlstrtdt = sy-datum
          sdlstrttm = sy-uzeit.
SUBMIT (p_prog)
WITH p_idocnr = p_idocno
           USER            p_user
           VIA   JOB       w_jobid
                 NUMBER w_jobnr
                 AND       RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
     EXPORTING
          jobcount         = w_jobnr
          jobname          = w_jobid
          strtimmed        = 'X'
     IMPORTING
          job_was_released = w_jobrel.
Does anyone have a clue of what I should do to prevent this?
// Regards Hans

Hi again,
1. U are right.
2. It will happen if we use SUBMIT.
3. As per the help documentation,
    it will run the program in separate session,
   ( as soon as submit statement comes)
4. and run the INITIALIZATION event.
The VIA JOB addition also loads the program accessed in a separate internal mode when the SUBMIT statement is executed and the system performs all the steps specified before START-OF-SELECTION. This means the events LOAD-OF-PROGRAM and INITIALIZATION are triggered and selection screen processing is performed. If the selection screen is not processed in the background when VIA SELECTION-SCREEN is specified, the user of the calling program can eidit it and schedule the program accessed in the background request using the function Place in Job. If the user cancels selection screen processing, the program is not scheduled in the background job. In both cases, execution of the program executed is completed after selection screen processing and the system returns to the calling program due to the AND RETURN statement.

Sending of email triggered in a background job ends with error.

Hello all,
I have created a API which triggers mail to a distribution list using class CL_BCS. When i execute this API in foreground it works fine and the mails are triggered.
However i am calling this API in a report which will scheduled as a background job in my application and this job executes for some 5 to 6 hours and after that i trigger the mail. However at this point the job gets cancelled due to an abort message raised in
one of the CL_BCS methods.
The method is cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address which is called in my API and internally this calls many other methods. The abort meessage is thrown from the method instantiate_imp_class of class CL_EXIT_MASTER.
The ST22 log reads like this:
Runtime Errors: LOAD_SWITCHSTATES_MISMATCH
Short text: Current switch statuses are incompatible with program switch statuses.
What happened?
    The current switch statuses that are read for the execution of the
    program "CL_IM_CVI_ADDRESS_UPD_IMPL====CP" are incompatible with the switch
     statuses with which the
    program "CL_IM_CVI_ADDRESS_UPD_IMPL====CP" was generated at the time
     20090902114544.
Any advice would be greatly helpful.

Hi!
How you determine sender (method set_sender) ? if you use current user, when it runs on background use a backgorund user and it maybe can not determine an email.
Try force a sender (harcode your user for test when sy-batch eq 'X')
If it works, you need to determine the user to be used on jobs to solve this problem.
I hope it helps
Regards!!!!

Background job within another background job

Hello Experts,
I have a BDC program (for BW tcode OLI7BW) which executes by scheduling a number of background jobs. This report works fine when run manually. But doesn't work if it is scheduled as a background job through SM36. The status of the job is shown as finished, but the data is not uploaded.
Is it not possible to execute a background job within another background job?
If it's possible, what could be the possible cause of error?
Thanks In Advance
Radhika

Hi Radhika,
If you are trying to upload data from a file on ur desktop to Internal table, then background job doesn't work. Always remember GUI means ur front end and all background jobs are run on application server and they dont run w.r.t ur desktop.
Kindly check it and get back to me incase of any queries.
Dont forget to reward points, if found useful.

Triggering background job event from Unix script

Hi all,
I am having one question regarding triggering of background job in SAP using Events from Unix script. Is this possible? If so, can anyboy provide some sample code related to Unix script and how do we communicate to SAP from Unix system. Actually, here the backend of R/3 system is MSSQL. I am having a program in R/3 system which is scheduled as a background job based upon event trigger. I want to trigger that even from the unix script.
Appreciate for your help in advance.

Simultaneous background jobs using the same BAPI issue

I scheduled 2 simultaneous background jobs on a custom program using the same BAPI (closing PM orders).
Run 1 to CLSD orders created on year 2001
Run 2 to CLSD orders created on year 2000
What happened was while run 1 was still active, run 2 encountered a dump and was cancelled.
Upon checking in ST22, dump was generated in CO_ZV_CONSISTENCY_CHECK.
Also, Run 2's dump happened when it encountered a data inconsistency for an order number being processed for Run 1.
Since the BAPI is being accessed at the same time by the two jobs, Is it possible that the commit work on run 1 could affect the processing for the Run 2, hence the data inconsistency?
Is this a buffer issue?
Additionally, no dump is encountered when Run 1 or Run 2 is run by itself.
I also encountered this issue before for creating Project and WBS using BAPI, but the solution we came up with was not to do parallel runs to avoid the error as this was a one time upload only.

If the second job is dependent on the 1st job, then use following logic which will let you know the status of 1st job. Once 1st job is completed, call JOB_OPEN of 2nd job.
ENDLESS loop till 1st job is completed
DO.
CALL FUNCTION 'BP_JOB_READ'
    EXPORTING
      job_read_jobcount     = w_jobcount
      job_read_jobname      = w_jobname
      job_read_opcode       = '20'
    IMPORTING
      job_read_jobhead      = wa_jobhead
    TABLES
      job_read_steplist     = i_jobsteplist

      invalid_opcode        = 1
      job_doesnt_exist      = 2

Send/export the background job spool in Excel (in MHTML format) in ECC 6.0.

Hello All,
I have a requirement to send/export the background job spool in Excel (in MHTML format) in ECC 6.0. Please help.
Thank you.
Nalini

Hi Jigar,
Thanks for your response.
Anything is like download to desktop or email is fine. But in MHTML format.
We can download the ALV report in MHTML spreadsheet format when we run the program online. But the program is running for long time and going to dump.
So i scheduled it as background job and downloading the output in .HTML format. But user wants the spool/report output in .MHTML spreadsheet format.
I can write the code. Instead of changing the existing program I would like to know is there any way (from standard SAP) that I can get the background spool in MHTML spreadsheet format.
Thanks,
Nalini

Error handling in background jobs

Dear All,
I have a program to update certain tables which I schedule as a background job.
I need to find a way to handle errors and communicate the update status to the administrator/ job monitor.
Some of the methods I can think of are:
1. Use write statements in the program to write the status. Admin/ Job monitor can look up the job spool in SM37 and get the status.
2. Store the status against each updated table in a custom table. Admin / Job monitor can check thru SE16.
Is there any other way to communicate the job status.
Thanks and Regards,

I used the option :
Use write statements in the program to write the status. Admin/ Job monitor can look up the job spool in SM37 and get the status. The same has been implemented in production by now.
Cheers.
