Read current background job name

Hello,
I would like to know if there exists a way to find out the name of the background job where your ABAP program is currenctly running in.
Does there exist a function that I can call ?
Best Regards,
Erwin

I agree with Rich. I use the same function module and works very well.
call function 'GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO'
    importing
*         EVENTID                 =
*         EVENTPARM               =
*         EXTERNAL_PROGRAM_ACTIVE =
*         JOBCOUNT                =
         jobname                 = jobname
*         STEPCOUNT               =
    exceptions
         no_runtime_info         = 1
         others                  = 2

How to get Current Background Job name and Job Count programmically?

Hi all,
I have a requirement wherein I need to get the Current Background Job name and Job Count in the program and store it in a custom table. In other words, whenever I schedule a particular program ( This is a Std program) in background, I need to update this table with the Job Name and Job Count. This will be used by another program later to read the Job Information from table TBTCO. TBTCO has key fields Job Name and Job ID. The sheduled program will be a SAP standard program and I'll be writing the logic to get the info in an Implicit Enhancement Spot.
Is there anyway I can do this? Any FM to get this information?
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Hey Adrian,
Thanks a lot. This is what exactly i was looking for. Appreciate it.

Hi,
for this fm is used 148 times in our system, I made a check program and it works:
report zsbatchfm.
 data: xv_jobcn type btcjobcnt.
data: xv_jobnm type btcjob.
data: xv_stepc type btcstepcnt.
 call function 'GET_JOB_RUNTIME_INFO'
importing
* EVENTID =
* EVENTPARM =
* EXTERNAL_PROGRAM_ACTIVE =
 jobcount = xv_jobcn
 jobname = xv_jobnm
 stepcount = xv_stepc
exceptions
 no_runtime_info = 1
 others = 2.
 if sy-subrc <> 0.
write: /1 'SY-SUBRC = ', sy-subrc.
else.
write: /1 'JOBCOUNT = ', xv_jobcn.
write: /1 'JOBNAME = ', xv_jobnm.
write: /1 'STEPCOUNT = ', xv_stepc.
endif.
 commit work.
In online mode you get a SUBRC = 1, in batch mode you get the informations (here: in SPOOL)
Please check it on your system!

Klaus

Background job name

Hi All,
Background job related info. not getting retrieved when using function module 'SAPWL_READ_STATISTIC_FILES' (version SAP ECC 5.0 compatible) in our SAP ECC 6.0 whereas if I use 'SWNC_STAD_READ_STATRECS' I'm getting the required info.

Hi,
It would help you ,
Make your report automatically processed in background when it is being executed using JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT and JOB_CLOSE like following[example code],
DATA: d_jobcount LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
d_jobname LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBNAME.
03
04 d_jobname = 'JOB1'. " Here you may give the job name what ever you insist.05
06 CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
07 EXPORTING
08 jobname = d_jobname
09 IMPORTING
10 jobcount = d_jobcount
11 EXCEPTIONS
12 cant_create_job = 1
13 invalid_job_data = 2
14 jobname_missing = 3
15 OTHERS = 4.
16
17 IF sy-subrc NE 0.
18 MESSAGE s368(00) WITH 'Error Creating Job'
19 sy-subrc.
20 EXIT.
21 ENDIF.
22
23 SUBMIT <REPORT_NAME>" call the same program in Background with different job names 24
VIA JOB d_jobname
25 NUMBER d_jobcount
26 AND RETURN.
27
28 CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
29 EXPORTING
30 jobcount = d_jobcount
31 jobname = d_jobname

How to find Spool number for a 2 steps background job.

Hi All,
How to find spool number (and also the background job name ) for a 2 steps background job.
in the table TBTCO i can see step numbers but i dont get the spool number. Is there any link between TBTCO and TSP01.
Also after getting the spool number i need to drill down on ALV report. I hard coded the spool number and was able to drill down using BDC and call transaction but when i press back button it is not returning to the ALV report.
Thanks,
Shiva.

Which one creates the spool? (first one I guess)
What kind of spool? (WRITE, sapscript, smartform, pdf...)
Do you use special statements like NEW-PAGE, or other things?
Are you sure that the spools are generated by these jobs? (did you compare the spool generation times and job run dates to be sure...)

WHICH TABLE STORES SPOOL REQUEST GENERATED BY BACKGROUND JOB ?

Background job is generating multiple request.
i am not able to find the table which stores all the spool request for a particular background job.

i know the table for spool request : TSP01
But how should i link it to background job name ?

TBTCPV is the view but it stores only one spool request.....rather than multiple spoolreq generated by background job..

Background Job Monitoring

Hi everbody,
Please tell how to get the program name which r scheduled in the background jobs in SM36,37 if we know the background job name.
Thanx and regards,
Rajvinder Sahni

Hi Rajvinder,
Just look into table TBTCP. It will gives you about Background Job Step Overview.
Give background job name in field JOBNAME then it will you report name in field PROGNAME.
In addition to this there is another table which gives about Job Status is TBTCO.
Thanks,

Background Job with User Name

I am trying to submit report program in background job. I want to submit it with specific user name so I am submitting with user name as 'ABC' as below
data: user type sy-uname.
user = 'ABC'.
SUBMIT z_program AND RETURN
             WITH matnr = matnr
             WITH werks = werks
             USER user
             VIA JOB jobname
             NUMBER jobcount
But it creates job with current user(sy-uname) running the program and not 'ABC'. How I can change it for specified user?

SUBMIT z_program AND RETURN
WITH matnr = matnr
WITH werks = werks
USER user
VIA JOB jobname
NUMBER jobcount
AND RETURN.    "you forgot to return back
Of course the user should be the one existing in the system. I guess there is no such ABC. Find the one which exists (use i.e. su01).

Background job in APO does not start because of invalid user name

Hello,
I have a macro in a planning book and the /sapapo/cons_check program which a triggered via a background job. Now, I have problems with the start of the job:
At the time the job was created inside SAP, an error occured. The job contains invalid values.
The user name within the job does not exist any more.
Now, I try to change the user name of the job (via step in sm37), but the error occured again.
I have the possibility to create the invalid user name once again in su01.
But I want to change the user name of the job - does somebody know how to do it?
Thanks for your help!
Kind regards
Heinz

Hello Heinz, this looks surprising.
It's quite easy to change the user name in the SM37 job step, and we haven't faced issues with this.
Could you check how many jobs are in either "scheduled" or in "released" status, and change steps for all of them? May be you changed the scheduled job, but the released job wasn't changed.
Use your job name and give a search date as 1-2 years in the past, and around 1 month in the future. With this time horizon, you should most likely be able to capture all the relevant jobs having the same name that you are using.
Now change the user name in step for all the jobs received above to be fully sure.
One more trial could be to copy the current scheduled job to another job, modify the user name in this newly created job and then delete the old one.
One of the above trials might possibly help you in some way, else its very tough to understand/explain your situation.
Thanks - Pawan

Actual Varaint Name used in the Background Job

Hi,
When a program is executed in Background made the selection screen variant selected is not the one that is shown in the Background Job Step information. There we see variant as &0000000000044.
I want to find the actual variant that was selected at the time of running the program in background mode.
Thanks.

Hi,
I also faced the same issue and after my R&D i found a workaround for this. Check this out.
Create a selection screen parameter and hide it.
PARAMETERS: po_varnt TYPE sy-slset NO-DISPLAY.
Now place below code in AT SELECTIO-SCREEN OUTPUT event.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
    CHECK sy-batch IS INITIAL.
    CLEAR po_varnt.
    MOVE sy-slset TO po_varnt.
If you are running in background by pressing F9 from selection screen, Use your hided parameter po_varnt for the variant name instead of sy-slset.
If you are running the report in foreground or through SM36 then you can use sy-slset to know the variant name.
Thanks,
Vinod.
