Problem creating job steps variants

Hi Gurus!
I have a problem with job steps creation.
In my program I need to copy the exist job with some condition accords to job steps variants.
But when I create the new job and it steps and variants in SM37, I can not see the variants names, only number.
For example in template that I am copying it looks like that:
No. Program name/command      Prog. type Spool list   Parameters              User Lang.
1              RMCVNEUA                  ABAP                        BW_TEMPLATE       aaa     EN
But in job that I create it is:
Program name/command      Prog. type   Spool list   Parameters               User Lang.
RMCVNEUA                          ABAP                           &0000000000271     ddd     EN
How can I create steps with variant names instead of numbers/indexes?   BW_TEMPLATE instead of &0000000000271.
My code:
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
    EXPORTING
      jobname          = lv_jobname
      sdlstrtdt        = lv_date
      sdlstrttm        = lv_time

      jobcount         = lv_jobcount
    EXCEPTIONS
      cant_create_job = 1
      invalid_job_data = 2
      jobname_missing = 3
      OTHERS           = 4.

                                 USING SELECTION-SET ls_cat-variant
                                 AND RETURN.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
    EXPORTING
      jobcount                          = lv_jobcount
      jobname                           = lv_jobname
     direct_start                      = lv_imm_run

How to create a new variant and a job sheduled to use it for the ......

How to create a new variant and a job sheduled to use it for the exisisting programs

Hi
1. The ALV Grid Control is a tool with which you can output non-hierarchical lists in a
standardized format. The list data is displayed as a table on the screen.
The ALV Grid Control offers a range of interactive standard list functions that users need
frequently (find, sort, filter, calculate totals and subtotals, print, print preview, send list,
export list (in different formats), and so on. These functions are implemented in the
proxy object class. You as the programmer have the possibility to turn off functions not
needed. In most cases the implementations of the standard functions provided by the
control are sufficient. However, if required, you can adjust these implementations to
meet application-specific needs.
You can add self-defined functions to the toolbar, if necessary.
The ALV Grid Control allows users to adjust the layout of lists to meet their individual
requirements (for example, they can swap columns, hide columns, set filters for the
data to be displayed, calculate totals, and so on). The settings (list customizing) made
by a specific user are called a display variant. Display variants can be saved on a userspecific
or on a global basis. If such display variants exist for a list, they can be offered
to the user for selection. If a display variant is set as the default variant, the associated
list is always displayed based on the settings of this variant.
2. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
3. Use of Field Catalog is to determines the technical properties & add formating information of the column.
6. all the definition of internal table, structure, constants are declared in a type-pool called SLIS.
7.fieldcat-fieldname
fieldcat-ref_fieldname
fieldcat-tabname
fieldcat-seltext_m
5. Form user_command using r_ucomm like sy-ucomm rs_selfield type slis_selfield.
Sap provides a set of ALV (ABAP LIST VIEWER) function modules which can be put into use to embellish the output of a report. This set of ALV functions is used to enhance the readability and functionality of any report output. Cases arise in sap when the output of a report contains columns extending more than 255 characters in length.
In such cases, this set of ALV functions can help choose selected columns and arrange the different columns from a report output and also save different variants for report display. This is a very efficient tool for dynamically sorting and arranging the columns from a report output.
The report output can contain up to 90 columns in the display with the wide array of display options.
<b>The commonly used ALV functions used for this purpose are;</b>
1. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET
2. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_F4
3. REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_EXISTENCE
4. REUSE_ALV_EVENTS_GET
5. REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE
6. REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE
7. REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY
8. REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY
9. REUSE_ALV_POPUP_TO_SELECT
Purpose of the above Functions are differ not all the functions are required in all the ALV Report.
But either no.7 or No.8 is there in the Program.
<b>
How you call this function in your report?</b>
After completion of all the data fetching from the database and append this data into an Internal Table. say I_ITAB.
Then use follwing function module.
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
EXPORTING
I_CALLBACK_PROGRAM = 'Prog.name'
I_STRUCTURE_NAME = 'I_ITAB'
I_DEFAULT = 'X'
I_SAVE = 'A'
TABLES
T_OUTTAB = I_ITAB.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
WRITE: 'SY-SUBRC: ', SY-SUBRC .
ENDIF.
ENDFORM. " GET_FINAL_DATA
The object F_IT_ALV has a field, the activity ACTVT, which can
contain four permitted values: 01, 02, 03 and 70. Each of the
activities 01, 02 and 70 controls the availability of particular
functions (in the menu and the toolbar) of the ALV line item list:
a) 01: "Settings -> Display variant -> Save..."
b) 02: "Settings -> Display variant -> Current..." and
"Settings -> Display variant -> Current header rows "
c) 70: "Settings -> Display variant -> Administration..."
Activity 03 corresponds to the minimum authorization, which is the
most restricted one: The user can only select layouts which have
been configured already. In particular, all of the other functions
named above are inactive with activity 03.
Now if you want to permit a user to change the column selection and
the headers as well as to save the layout thus created, for example,
but if you do not want to permit the user to administrate the
layouts, you grant him or her the authorization for activities 01
and 02.

Background Job step and Variant

Hi,
We are undergoing process of renaming user IDs(Eg from ABC to XYZ). I would like to know the effect on Background jobs due to renaming. I am sure we need to update the job step(s) with the new user ID. Do we need to do anything with variants too or will they work for new IDs also. Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Create Job problem

Hi,
I like to create job using Scheduler Jobs > Create Job with Command Type Stored Procedure! But the problem is that I can't see (user sys) procedures on schema i wish to create job on! So i can't pick procedure from Search and Select: Procedure values!?
Is someone know what is the problem?
Thanks, Kristjan

OK. It is a "Package" and not a Procedure like you mentioned above.
So, you have to do a different thing from a normal stored procedure. What you need is to use a Command Type of PLSQL Block
Assuming the Package TEST_PACLAGE with PACKAGE BODY containing procedure TEST_PROC and is owned by user SYS.
Select SYS as the owner under General
Inside the PL/SQL box enter.
BEGIN
test_package.test_proc;
END;
This should work

Creating a Step for Background Job from within ABAP Program

Step-1: I have a Report in ECC, which is scheduled as Background Job, which writes the file to the Application Server(UNIX)
Step-2: Trigger a Unix Command to ftp the file to other server.
Both Step-1 & Step-2 can be done from SM36.
Another Scenario:
Users can run the report in background from SE38 or using the transaction code for the report, In this case we want to call the external command.
Instead of calling the External Command as below in the report, I want to create a Step from within the program when it is scheduled in background mode.
CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD lc_unixcom. [ Here lc_unixcom has the External Command ].
Any ideas??? Appreciate help.

Hi,
For submitting a report step, you may use either SUBMIT ... VIA JOB ... or JOB_SUBMIT function module.
For external commands, this should be done only by calling JOB_SUBMIT function module.

Problem in creating job

Hey to all
I wanted to create a job that shrink my temp tablespace after one week. Due to huge data loading I get filled. When i create job through EM I could not understand where I put Alter tablespace temp shrink space command . For database home page click server click job link and create button under the command section where I put this command. Plz help I tried to this IN Pl/Sql but job fail
DECLARE
SQLSTMT VARCHAR2 (500);
Begin
SQLSTMT:= ALTER TABLESPACE temp SHRINK SPACE';
execute immediate (sqlstmt);
END;

I would not waste my time on creating such jobs.
Main reason: they don't resolve anything. You shrink the tablespace and it will definitely start to grow again.
You are only fighting symptoms. Maybe you want to earn your living out of fighting symptoms, I don't.
Apart from the the syntax of execute immediate is
execute immediate <variable>|<hard coded literal>;
Before asking syntax questions please use the docs (in this case the PL/SQL reference manual) to verify your usage of a construct is syntactically correct.
Also this line
SQLSTMT:= ALTER TABLESPACE temp SHRINK SPACE';
is lacking a '

How to create a temporary variant - urgent

I suppose to schedule a batch job with a temporary variant or as a real variant. can anybody guide me how to create a temp. variant for a batch job..
Thanks
Thirumalairajan

Hi Thirumal,
                  First run your program through se38. Then enter your values which u
                  want to use. Then save that by using the save button. Then goto
                  SE36 and define your job while defineing when you define the step
                  give the name of the program then down of that you will have an option
                  of giving the variant use f4 then it will show the value which you have
                  saved while executing the program through se38.Now save your job it
                  will run with the variant.
Reward points if helpfull.

Account is SysAdmin - but Non-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run DTS Execution job steps without a proxy account.

Hi,
I have a SQL Agent Job that executes an SSIS package. However when I manually execute the SQL Agent job from SSMS I get the following seemingly common error:
"Non-SysAdmins have been denied permission to run DTS Execution job steps without a proxy account."
However, the job owner is a member of both the SQL SysAdmin role, and also a member of the operating system's Administrators group.
The SQL Agent Service is running under Local Service (not something within my control unfortunately).
I have found many posts suggesting setting up a proxy account etc, but that seems to be for the case where the job owner is not a sys admin. To be clear, the job owner IS a sysadmin.
This is occurring in the Production environment. I have two other, seemingly identical environments that are working fine, so i am wondering if I have missed something obvious.
Any idea what I've missed?
details:
Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard
SQL Server 2008 R2 (SP2) - 10.50.4000.0 (X64) Enterprise Edition
Note - the jobs were migrated to the broken environment by scripting them from Env 1, with If exists, drop, create etc.
Thanks
Guy
Guy

Obviously, as soon as I post this I figure out the issue:
In the script i had provided for migrating the job to the new environment (to which I have no access) the DBA replaced the @owner_login_name value with a different login. The account he used does have SysAdmin privileges but for some reason
changing the account in the script did not correctly update in the job.
On opening the job in SSMS it appeared to have the correct owner account, but using GUI to look up the specific account and adding it this way, while appearing to make no difference, has in fact solved the problem.
My assumption therefore is that updating the @owner_login_name when scripting the job is not the same as actually editing the job owner itself.

MiniSAP - SE80 Prompts Error "Printer not suitable for job step..."

Hi all,
I bought an ABAP Objects book. I installed the MiniSAP. When I run SAP GUI and SE80, both with BCUSER and DDIC, it gives me error message "Printer not suitable for job step. Automatic printing not possible."
If I double-click on the message, it does not show the description of the error message, instead it displays an Internet Explorer error message "The page cannot be found."
Furthermore, the same error message, "The Page cannot be found", also appears in the area where the listbox and textbox for selecting Development Class, Program, Function Group, etc. Making these function becomes unavailabale. I cannot see the listbox and textbox in the Object Navigator. The only development class show is "$_TMP_BCUSER" (if I recall correctly). But nothing is in the development class.
How do I solve this problem?
OS: Windows XP Professional
Browser Installed: Internet Explorer and Firefox
Other info: I put incorrect IP Address in the Hosts file while installation was in progress. This created error. I then correct the IP Address in the Hosts file and resume installation. I still encountered error until I restarted my computer and resume installtion. I use IP Address 10.10.0.10.
Thanks in advance.

Different recipients in different job steps

I want to create a job with multiple steps and i'd like to send each step to different recipient.
The problem is that recipient can only be defined at job level but i'd like to define different recipients for each job-step.
How can i slove this one?

Hi Paula,
Under each Job Step,On the screen where you define step, you can specify its specific print parameters/spool recipient.
This way you can have different parameters for each step.
Hope this helps.

Job steps

Hi Gurus
I have some question that I can not resolve, maybe you can help me.
I have to create several job steps in a background job.
Let say:
1 step program ztest01.
2 step program ztest02.
I want my 2nd step (ztest02) always executed regardless what happend in 1 step (ztest01).
My problem is it happened that a message error of type 'E' in my 1st step (ztest01) has been triggered resulting my 2nst step never executed. How to resolve that?
Thank you

If the second step job does not need to be dependent on first one, it is always better to create two different jobs.

Creating job

Hi Experts,
I am about to create a batch job. I used FM JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT and JOB_CLOSE. However, whenever I run the program it creates job for every 1 second. It will not stop creating jobs unless you completely exited in the program. The code is not inside the loop.

mariposa,
   Suppose you have 100000 records which is going for dump in background also.
Taht time decided to create a job for every 20000 records.

where x = s_x.

Creating Job Order without Assembly Routing

How can you prevent Users from Creating Job Order without creating routing to the Assembly used

Hi Laxmikant
Please note the steps
Create a BOM Application in OS30
Create a new BOM ID in OS31 with BOM Usage as Production
Assign this BOM ID in BOM Application
Ensure that ID is responsible for Production planning alone.
Then in that ID maintain a BOM alone without any items.
Assign this BOM Application in Order type dependent parameters in OPL8
Now u can create a production order w/o BOM

Pass value from SQL agent job step

Hi
I have created one SSIS package and I am scheduling the same using SQL Agent job. Now I want to pass one value from SQL job agent and want to use that value in SSIS package and then run that package. Can someone point to the solution.
Aniruddha http://aniruddhathengadi.blogspot.com/

I have created one parameter on SSIS package named strValue and assigned a empty value "". After that I have created one SQL job and step wherein I have set the value to "Nike" for parameter under Parameters tab.
Now I am expecting Nike value which I have set on SQL job step should get reflected on SSIS package when I am running my job. Am I doing anything wrong ?
Aniruddha http://aniruddhathengadi.blogspot.com/
Not sure what's going wrong but you can have quick look at below step by step tutorial:
