Procedure for setting a background job

Hi Experts,
Please give me the step by step procedure in setting a background job.
Thanks,
Kavin

Hi,
Specifying ABAP Program to Run in Background
ABAP program or external program can be specified to be run in the background. More than one program can be executed with a single background job. To do it you should add a job step for each program.
Let us first discuss the procedure for creating an ABAP report.
The Users field will, by default, display your name, indicating that the user (you) is authorized to run this program.
In case there is another user authorized for scheduling the job, then the default name is changed and system displays the name of the other user.
Now choose ABAP and enter the name of the report.
Choose variant from the Variant list. Specify the language you want the report to be in.
With Print specifications, you can specify whether you want the report output to be held in the SAP spool system or have it printed as soon as the job has run.
For external command, by default, the job step will run under your SAP System authorizations. So your name will appear in the User field.
But if the program is running under the authorization of another user, you can change this default option by entering another user name.
Then choose External command and enter the predefined SAP name. If required, enter any additional arguments required for the command.
The host system on which the command should run and the type of operating system at the host should be specified. You can determine the host name using the host name command on the target host system.
You can also specify how the output from the external program should be treated, as well as other runtime options by using Control flags. It is advisable to use default settings for these options. If you are authorized for background processing, you can also choose External programs as a job step option.
To run an external program, enter the exact path, program or script name, arguments required by the program, and the name of the host system on which the program is to run. After this, save the job step and return to the job identification screen.
Note that in the SAP system the ABAP programs are not predefined; therefore, the system does not perform an authorization check. Hence, the system does not bother to check whether you are allowed to use the command.

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.

Riyaan.

BAPI for Scheduling a background job

Hi all,
is there any bapi for scheduling a background job?
i mean can we do background job using bapi
If not how can we create a bapi for scheduling a background job.
Thanks & Regards,
Azhar

Hi,
Use following BAPIs for scheduling a job in background
BAPI_XBP_JOB_OPEN - This BAPI solves the first step in scheduling a job in the R/3 background processing system. You can create the job with this method.
Using additional BAPI calls BAPI_XBP_JOB_ADD_ABAP_STEP and BAPI_XBP_JOB_ADD_EXT_STEP, you can add job steps to the job.
With the BAPI call BAPI_XBP_JOB_CLOSE, you can finish defining the job and transfer it to the background processing system with the status Scheduled without start date.
You have execute the job with the BAPI calls BAPI_XBP_JOB_START_IMMEDIATELY or BAPI_XBP_JOB_START_ASAP.
I hope it would help you.

Procedure for setting up ' Set Up time Optimisation ' in PPDS

Hi APO Gurus,
Please let me know the Step by step procedure for setting up of the set up time optimisation in PPDS.
Please let me know the Configuration required , Master data to be set up for the same.
Waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Ravindra

Hi Ravindra,
I mention below an example to make you clear.
Say for eg, if you are having a scenario wherein
you need to manufacture products with low weight,
medium weight and heavy weight products.
You can define in the set up matrix that for switch
over from low weight to medium weight products for
manufacturing, the set up time involved in 2 hours and
the setup cost involved is Rs.100,
Similarly, for switching over from heavy weight products
to medium weight products, the set up time involved
is 3 hours and the set up cost involved is Rs.50.
Based on this information, system will frame a matrix
of information and use during planning.
System will sequence the products and plan it accordingly.
Hope you are clear now.
Please confirm all your queries are resolved

Configuration for creat auto background job to create outbound delivery

Dear Experts,
Kindly let me know where and how can I configure auto background job for creating outbound delivery, TO and Print picking list
Thanks in advance
Shetty

< Job for delivery creation:>
1. you can run tcode vl10batch to schedule a job with your own variant.
2. alternatively, you can directly schedule a job in SM36 -> program RVV50R10C, variant
When define variant for background delivery creation, please make sure:
- "Select rule" must be set to '2'.
- "F code profile" should be '5001' (Fcodes GET, PREPARE, SAMD should be included.)
<Job for TO creation>
1. Run tcode VL06p with your own varinat -> click button "create TO in background"
2. Alternatively, you can directly define a job in SM36. -> program name WS_MONITOR_OUTB_DEL_PICK.
<Job for printing pick list>
1. run tcode VL70 with your own variant -> goto menu bar / program / execute in background -> then a job is created.
2. Alternatively, you can schedule a job in SM36 -> program SD70AV4A.

Setting up Background job

Hello Guys,
I gone thru the forum and tried to set up the background job for an requirement but could not able to proceed further as I was not sure how to move on..
Requirement
We would like setup to call our PM's automatically when they are due or at least 3 days before.This would save time to plan well in advance.
In this case where should I mention the 3 day period ? I just started getting into SM36 and clikc the start condition and set the time to run and then flagged the periodic job and clicked the periodic values as daily and save it. Then I hit steps button and maintain ristra20 as prog name and keep the variant as blank and save it .(Is variant is neccessary ?) Then I get into sm37 where I could see some * on job name .I dont know how to proceed from here and wht would be the job name and other steps Also I tested job wizard and not sure what is the purpose of this ?
Could anyone walk me through for the above mentioned requirement
Mahee

Mahee,
Creating the work order ahead of the actual due date is actually accomplished by the "call Horizon" parameter on the Maintenance Plan. A 100% Value on this field indicates that the Call object be created on the date its due. Please enter a appropriate value here based on the plan to get the order created 3 days ahead.
You actually schedule the PM in background using IP30 transaction.First create and save a variant for the plan that you would liek to schedule.Then call up the variant In here enter the plan details and then choose Program > execute in background.Enter a valid SAP printer and then choose "DATE AND TIME" push button to enter the start date and time of the job.After this, Choose the "Periodic job" check box and then choose "period values" at the bottom of the screen to indicate the frequency at which you would like to run the program and then choose the "SAVE" button.
This should complete teh job creation for you.

Need to write a procedure for Log files (scheduled jobs)

Hi,
We have around 50 scheduled jobs.Jobs will run parallelly. In these jobs, some jobs will repeat at different timings.in these some jobs are daily jobs and some are weekly and some are monthly and some will run first and second working day of the month and some will run on some particular days.
Now I want to write a procedure like, For every job it should create a log file like "
<Job_Name> started on <Date> at <start_Time(timestamp)> and completed on <Date> at <End_Time(Timestamp)> successfully.
<Job_Name> started on <Date> at <start_Time(timestamp)> and completed on <Date> at <End_Time(Timestamp)> abnormally.
If all jobs complted successfully it should send an email to the mailgroup with attached log file (which contains the details of all the jobs) with format as follows.
Jobname Start_date Start_time End_Date End_Time Status
SALES 21-May-2011 12:00:00 21-May-2011 12:01:00 Completed Successfully
21-May-2011 12:15:00 21-May-2011 12:16:00 Completed successfully
Proudcts 21-May-2011 23:00:00 21-May-2011 23:16:00 Completed successfully
ITEMS 21-May-2011 23:00:00 21-May-2011 23:16:00 Completed successfully
If the status ="Completed abnormally" for any particular job
immediately it should send an mail to the group like " FATAL_MESG_JOBANAME_Date_Time(timestamp)"
for example if SALES job was failed at 15:00:00 then immediately it should send a mail.
if ITEMS got failed then it should mail ( in between any job got failed it should send an email).
if every thing is going cool then need send a final success mail to the group.
so Please let me know how to write a program for this requiremnt.
Thanks in advance.

Long time for execution for scheduled CIF background jobs

Hi,
we hv schedlued CIF background job to be run daily around 10.30 PST.
there is large variation for the time required for execution of this job.
on 26 Dec, it took approx 48000 seconds while regular average is 120 seconds only.
today, despite past of 6000 seconds, the job is still in ACTIVE stage.
can anyone know why such long delay for such jobs?
how can i reduce its execution time (as one of case in a week)?
rgds/Jay

Hi Jay,
A few obvious things to look for:
1. Multiple CIF activation jobs running at the same time
2. Large change in the master data, eg new plant, new Material Masters, new customers, etc etc.
3. Conflicts with other non CIF programs that may be going after the same data
4. Communication degradation between the OLTP and SCM clients
Normally you refer such questions to someone on your Basis team, or perhaps your DBA. They can turn on tracing tools that can track the changes in your environment that may be contributing to the changes in run time.

Rule set import - Background job did not run

Hi,
I am setting up my CC 5.2 production system. I have downloaded from ruleset from the dev CC and imported it into production. However the background job generated did not run. I am implementing SAP note 999785 to fix this, but am wondering what should I do about the rule set? Do I need to delete the rule set and reimport it? As this background job did not run I notice that the permission rules did not generate.
Any advice is welcome.
Thanks

Hi,
as the backgorund job never ran and no rules were created, I can just reimport the ruleset and let the job run. I have tried this and the rules were created successfully

Custom Attributes for Scheduled Transactions (Background Jobs)

Hi,
I am trying to fetch the custom attributes for scheduled background jobs. Since we are not using the XAcute Queries to run the automatic jobs, we can't use the AUTOBIND property for custom attributes and hence can't fetch them in the scheduled transactions. Is there any way to retrieve the attributes while scheduling a transaction ?
Thanks,
Amit Rath

Hi Amit,
a way that works: inside your transaction you can call a XML query that reads out the property list for a given user. In the URL of the XML query you can add the user by using the IllumLoginName parameter.
- create a XML query with the following URL:
http://<server>:<port>/XMII/PropertyAccessServlet?mode=list&Content-Type=text/xml&IllumLoginName=<User>&IllumLoginPassword=<Password>
- in your transaction, call the query. You can retrieve the value of the attribute with a XPath expression like this:
XML_propertyAccessServlet_0.Results{/Rowsets/Rowset/Row[Name='MyAttribute']/Value}
Interestingly, adding a User / Password in the Scheduler Editor of the job does not work (MII 12.0.2). Maybe this would be also an option for you to try.

Best practices for setting a background for an iChat?

Is there a way of creating a background setting before the chat invite?
If I do it in the preview window, by clicking on my own camera icon, the background reverts to default by the time I invite somebody.
doug

Hi Doug,
If I click the Video icon next to my own pic in the Buddy List to show the Preview of myself and then use the Video Effects I can preset What I want and it stays when I close the Video effects and preview if I then invite some to a chat.
Are you saying this does not work for you ?

"REORG and RUNSTATS for set of tables" job

Hi,
In this DBA Planning Calendar job, there's an option for Keep Dictinary. How can I run a reorg with RESET Dictionary?
To me, Keep Dictionary should be the default option for reorg, and no need to check this box on job scheduling. What's missing is the Reset Dictionary.
Can someone comment on this?
Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,
The behavior of the reorg with or without keepdictionary or resetdictionary depends on the compress flag for the table. Like you mentioned, it would make sense to assume keepdictionary as the default and use resetdictionary based on the user input in the GUI.
An easier way to control this in my experience is to use "automatic maintenance settings" (under the configuration drop down) and carve out an offline reorg window for the required tables with the ability to choose the right dictionary rebuild option. With version 9.5 and automatic dictionary creation (ADC), rebuilding the already existing compression dictionary has been a moot point in our landscape.
Hope this helps.

Writing own TableCellRenderer for setting the Background Color of a cell ?

Hello,
I am using the JTable and DefaultTableModel for my GUI. I use also only plain text in the rows and columns. I have a method which examine every row wether something is wrong with a string so if something is wrong i want to set the BackgroundColor of this cell with the bad string to a color i can define.
Do I need to write an own TableCellRenderer for this tiny task?
Table class has no setBackground(new Color(22,22,22),posRow,posCol);

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threa
dID=606504this code is from your ColorRenderer class:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
               Iterator it = colors.keySet().iterator();
               while ( it.hasNext() )
                    Point key = (Point)it.next();
                    int row = key.x;
                    int column = key.y;
                    if (column == -1)
                         model.fireTableRowsUpdated(row, row);
                    else if (row == -1)
                         int rows = table.getRowCount();
                         for (int i = 0; i < rows; i++)
                              model.fireTableCellUpdated(i, column);
          }you have set an ActionListener to the ColorRenderer class and put the actionPerformed method in it but compared to a JButton the actionPerformed method is called when i click the JButton but what you do in your code that the actionPerformed method is executed. I have deleted the whole actionPerformed method and the listener and still the cell is displayed with a color so was it for the blinking?
And the method setBackground is nowhere called or run actively so is this method called internally by the ColorRenderer class? or is this method somehow called recursively as in the method setBackground I can see this method call:
c.setBackground( (Color)o ); but i think this is another setBackground method right? because the first method i mentioned has 3 parameters not 1 parameter so where is the method setBackground with 3 parameters called actively in your code? i cant find anything. ok after examining again the c.setBackground( (Color)o ); is the one with 3 parameters ;-)
public void setBackground(Component c, int row, int column)
          { that was set for the previous cell, so reset it here
               if (c instanceof DefaultTableCellRenderer)
                    c.setBackground( table.getBackground() );
               // In case columns have been reordered, convert the column number
               column = table.convertColumnIndexToModel(column);
               // Get cell color
               Object key = getKey(row, column);
               Object o = colors.get( key );
               if (o != null)
                    c.setBackground( (Color)o );
                    return;
               // Get row color
               key = getKey(row, -1);
               o = colors.get( key );
               if (o != null)
                    c.setBackground( (Color)o );
                    return;
               // Get column color
               key = getKey(-1, column);
               o = colors.get( key );
               if (o != null)
                    c.setBackground( (Color)o );
                    return;
          }using your full code gives me a bug:
when i double click in the first column to change some text doesnt matter which row then the selected cell gets a red border and the rest of the table freezes. When i exchange the order of the columns move column 1 to 2 and column 2 to 1 then the freezed table is working again?? could you help solving that problem else the cell color setting works fine for me :-) thank you very much!
