Hi Experts
Im executing jobs thru abap program, but now I need schedule this job. Does anybody know how can I do it? Can you show me the abap code or function module?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Ram,
I have a front-end screen where the end-user select date &time for schedule this job. Now Im using
FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT',
EXPORTING
        authcknam = sy-uname
        jobcount = p_job
        jobname   = 'BUNDLE_EXECUTE'
        report    = 'UPC_BUNDLE_EXECUTE'
        variant   = l_seq.
but I dont know how send the date and time in order to schedule the job.
Does I need use other function?
Thank you!

Schedule job with JOB_CLOSE until a certain time

Hello all,
I'd like to schedule a background job with JOB_CLOSE until a certain time, i.e. first start time at 10 a.m., repitition period 15 min., last start time 1 p.m.
I tried this using parameter LASTSTRTTM, e.g.:
i_startdate = sy-datum.
i_starttime = '100000'.
i_prdmins = '15'.
i_laststrtdt = sy-datum.
i_laststrttm = '130000'.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
    EXPORTING
      jobcount             = l_jobcount
      jobname              = 'MY_JOB'
      sdlstrtdt            = i_startdate
      sdlstrttm            = i_starttime
      laststrtdt           = i_laststrtdt
      laststrttm           = i_laststrttm
      prdmins              = i_prdmins
    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.
but I didn't succeed - the job didn't stop at 1 p.m. Any hints?
Best regards
Martin Lehmann

Hi Martin,
i_startdate = sy-datum. " 1st time Job Start Date
i_starttime = '100000'.
i_prdmins = '15'.
i_laststrtdt = sy-datum. " If Job is not started by this date, then it wont be started once this date is completed
i_laststrttm = '130000'.
What it means is, if i want to start a job by 10th Oct.. & expect that it should be started maximum by 20th Oct.. If its 20th Oct & still the job is not started,... then terminate the job & do not start it..
If the job is already started, then it wont stop.
Hope its clear.
Best regards,
Prashant

How to schedule job with spool list recipient in CPS ?

Dear Guru,
i import job with spool list recipient from r3 to cps and schedule in CPS, job is finished but there is no spool send to the recipient ?
Please advise ?
Best regards,
Supat Jupraphat.

What job definition did you use? SAP_AbapRun? SAP_AbapRunPrint? SAP_AbapRunPrintExt?
Do you have XBP 2.0 or 3.0 in the SAP system? (check SE38 > INITXBP2)
Have you loaded the CPS transport files in the SAP system?
Note that using spoollist recipients either involves SAP_AbapRunPrintExt in combination with XBP3.0
OR
It involves SAP_AbapRun or SAP_AbapRunPrint and XBP 2.0 using transportation files in the SAP System.
Please check the section of the CPS admin guide called: "Enhanced SAP Interfaces with Redwood Transports"

Scheduling jobs with condition-after job programatically

Hi,
Could anybody please tell me how can we schedule jobs from programs(prgramatically) with condition-start after job(after a particular job completed) like we have the same option in sm36.
Thanks,

Schedule Job with Job_close after successful job doesn't work

Hi guys,
I'm using FM CLOSE_JOB with parameters :
            JOBCOUNT             = w_JobId
            JOBNAME              = w_JobName

            PRED_JOBCOUNT        = w_oldJobId
            PRED_JOBNAME         = w_oldJobName
I have about 9 jobs wich must run the one after the others. The first start without PRED* parameters, but the 8 others one are filled with CHECKSTAT, and previous job name and id.
It works fine for the side "the one after the others", BUT, wathever the previous job give as result (cancelled or finished), the next one starts whereas I pass the parameter CHECKSTAT to X.
Any ideas of the problem and how to solve it?

Schedule Jobs with multiple steps via ABAP Program

Hi,
I need to schedule multiple programs via background jobs on a daily basis. Since all these jobs are to be run as a single job, the various programs have to be run as steps in a major job.
I am however not very clear on how this can be done via an ABAP program ( the idea of a program is that various parameters to be passed to each program in the step can be entered dynamically rather than via variants).
I am using the JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE functions and submitting the programs with selection screen parameters dynamically passed to create a job. I need to do this for various programs as a job step (WITHOUT Variants being defined).
Can anyone suggest any ideas for this? I have tried out JOB_SUBMIT Function but am not very confident I know what exactly it is for as it asks for a variant.
Thanks very much,
Preet

Hi Preet,
just to be sure: you know, that variants can be dynamical, too?
It's quite usual to assign dynamical current date, but it's also possible to add / subtract value and even define own functionality.
Maybe it's easier to implement a dynamical selection and handle static jobs.
If you try to plan a job (online or with JOB_SUBMIT), you have to use variants - you can create (or change) them dynamical in beforehand. Only SE38, F8, F9 is creating a temporary variant, so that no saved variant is necessary.
But if you end up creating variants dynamical, you can change one existing variant, too. Then you can use a static job definition (with periodical starting rule).
So: have a look, if dynamic variants are enough, otherwise change variants per job.

Christian

KM Scheduler job with MDM APIs

Hi,
I am trying to write a background job that makes use of MDM APIs. I created a Portal Application Project and put in the required code. I added the required MDM jar fiels in to the java build path. How ever, I don't know how to add Library Reference with value "com.sap.mdm.tech.mdm4j" since this is not a Webdynpro project. Without this the KM Scheduler fails to run the job thowing an exception ''NoClassDefFoundError...".
Can any one tell me how do I go about?
Thanks,

How to schedule job with a system user BTC_100

Hi,
Someone setup the background job user BTC_100 as a system user (not a dialog nor service user). I need to schedule a new job and want to have the createBy as BTC_100 instead of my own ID.
I got error (Please logon as a dialog user) when tried to logon as BTC_100.
Do people usually set up their background job ID as a system ID? How can I schedule a new job as BTC_100?
Many thanks in advance!
-Serine

Hi Prince,
Besides the step owner, I wanted to have the job owner to be BTC_100 as well. Otherwise when I run SM37 and search for job, I'll have to put my ID instead of keep it as BTC_100.
From SUIM, I see BTC_100 has been changed from dialog to SYSTEM so maybe I have to change it to dialog first, create the job and then change it back to SYSTEM?
thanks!

Schedule job with dependencies in another job

Hi All,
I Have a job in sm36 schedule but I want to create a new job and will be started after my first job,
for exemple : I have a job Test1 started in 30 and 30 minutes and I create a new job test2 that this job has to executable after the job test1, I can to do this but my slave job only executable one time, I need that this job stay continued always after job test1 and don't finish.
Thank for Help.
Regards,
Osvaldo Antonio dos Santos

Hi,
I am afraid your reqmt may not be possible.
You can very well run one job after another job by maintaining the After event parameters in SM36. However you cannot enable a job run for ever. Once there is no input meeting the selection criteria, teh job will finish.
Instead of thinking of enabling the job for ever, you can maintain the jobtest2 as after event of jobtest1.
After that you can create jobtest3 using the same variant of jobtest2 and schedule it to run once in 15 min or 30min or so.
Hope this helps you
Pls reward if it is of some help to you

Get AM from POJO (to run as scheduled job) with ADFBC?

In JDev 10.1.3.2 I am trying to write a java class (app) that will be run by a CRON job. This app must get a handle to a view object, execute it's query and do something with the results (send emails)...
I am assuming I need an app module and need to get the view object from the app module, but cannot figure out just how to do this. I tried:
MyAppModImpl am = new MyAppModImpl();
ViewObject vo = am.findViewObject("MyViewObject");
but the vo is null.
Am I going about this in the wrong way?
Thanks,
Ginni

Thanks Shay. I got it working, like this:
String amDef = "org.aero.kas.evc.expirations.ExpirationService";
String config = "ExpirationsServiceLocal";
ApplicationModule am =
Configuration.createRootApplicationModule(amDef, config);
//ExpirationsServiceImpl am = new ExpirationsServiceImpl();
ClearancesExpiringThisMonthImpl vo = (ClearancesExpiringThisMonthImpl)am.findViewObject("ClearancesExpiringThisMonth");
vo.executeQuery();
RowSet rowSet = vo.getRowSet();
I tested it and it's all good! Amazing!
Now, when I deloy this beast to OAS 10.1.2 on Unix, apparently I'll need to have an admin write a Cron job to make the app run on the first of each month. What info do I need to give them? I've never deployed an app yet... this will be our very first one.
Thanks!

Scheduling Jobs with email notifications.

Hi,
Using the information which i got from internet i created procedure and also below job to run on server.
Procedure name : refresh_tapas_rs

comments => 'Job defined entirely by the CREATE JOB procedure.');
END;
It's working fine.
i wanted to add few more things into this.
1. this should run - every Sunday morning 10 AM.
2. once this is completed my manager should get email with status immediately.
please help me to add this functionality.

Problem with variable in scheduled job

I'm trying to get the following scheduled job to run:
switch(config)# scheduler job name backup_job
switch(config-job)# cli var name timestamp $(TIMESTAMP) ; copy running-config bootflash:/$(SWITCHNAME)-cfg.$(timestamp) ; copy bootflash:/$(SWITCHNAME)-cfg.$(timestamp) tftp://1.2.3.4/
switch(config-job)# exit
switch(config)# scheduler schedule name backup_timetable
switch(config-schedule)# job name backup_job
switch(config-schedule)# time daily 1:23
switch(config-schedule)# exit
switch(config)# exit
This job is taken directly from multiple Cisco MDS and Nexus documents. From what I can tell, the purpose of this job is to save the running configuration to a file on bootflash with date & time in the file name and then to copy the file from bootflash to tftp server.
I can create the job and schedule successfully:
switch(config)#show scheduler job name backup_job
Job Name: backup_job
cli var name timestamp $(TIMESTAMP)
copy running-config bootflash:/$(SWITCHNAME)-cfg.$(timestamp)
copy bootflash:/$(SWITCHNAME)-cfg.$(timestamp) tftp://1.2.3.4
==============================================================================
switch(config)#show scheduler schedule name backup_timetable
Schedule Name       : backup_timetable
User Name           : admin
Schedule Type       : Run every day at 10 Hrs 48 Mins
Last Execution Time : Tue Mar 6 10:48:00 2012
Last Completion Time: Tue Mar 6 10:48:00 2012
Execution count     : 1
     Job Name            Last Execution Status
backup_job                        Success (0)
==============================================================================
The scheduled job runs successfully but the files that are created have the variable $(TIMESTAMP) in the file name instead of the actual date and time e.g. switch-cfg.$(TIMESTAMP)
The logfile contains the following:
Schedule Name : backup_timetable                  User Name : admin
Completion time: Tue Mar 6 10:59:26 2012
--------------------------------- Job Output ---------------------------------
`cli var name timestamp $(TIMESTAMP)`
`copy running-config bootflash:/PEN-9509-2-cfg.$(TIMESTAMP) `
Copy complete, now saving to disk (please wait)...
`copy bootflash:/PEN-9509-2-cfg.$(TIMESTAMP) tftp://1.2.3.4 `
Trying to connect to tftp server......
Connection to server Established. Copying Started.....
It looks to me that the $(timestamp) variable is being created successfully and is being replaced with the $(TIMESTAMP) variable but this is not being replaced with the actual date and time.
The thing I don't get is that this looks to me that we're trying to nest variables and the same Cisco documents from which I get this configuration also state that nested variables are not allowed.
I have tried this on different hardware - MDS9500, MDS9100, Nexus 5000, Nexus 7000 and different software - SAN-OS 3.3, NX-OS 4.1, NX-OS 5.2 but cannot get it to work. I have also tried to put the commands in a script and run with the run-script command but it still does not work.
There is probably another method to achieve what this configuration is trying to achieve (and I would like to know if there is) but I want to know if this particular configuration will work.
Can anyone tell me if they have got this working or can see what I'm doing wrong or can try running this in a lab please?

I managed to get this resolved with a bit of a workaround. If I put the copy commands in a script and pass the variable to the run-script command as part of the scheduled job then it works ok. Trying to create the variable within the script (or as a separate scheduled job command) still doesn’t work.
So, creating a script file (script) as follows:
copy running-config bootflash:/$(SWITCHNAME)-cfg.$(timestamp)
copy bootflash:/$(SWITCHNAME)-cfg.$(timestamp) tftp://1.2.3.4
and creating a scheduled job with the following command:
run-script bootflash:script timestamp=”$(TIMESTAMP)”
achieves the desired result.

BI Publisher (Obiee 11g) Scheduled jobs start randomly after services restarting

Hi everybody,
I've a problem with scheduled jobs on BI Publisher that start randomly after server restarting.
For example if there's a job scheduled every day at 8.00 am it works fine until the server is not restarted but when I restart it next job running start at 9.28 am (it is an example because the real start time is very unpredictable).
In my case bi publisher is integrated with obiee 11g (11.1.1.6.2) and I've scheduled jobs with administrative user (weblogic). For this user I've set the Bi Publisher Preferences (report locale = Italiano-Italia, Report Time Zone = GMT +1:00) from obiee analytics user account preferencies.
Can anyone have this problem too and help me?
Thanks
Annalisa

These are not helpful. The first link is to OBIEE 10g and the second is just an install guide. I am having the same issue with BI Publisher returning java.lang.NullPointerException in OBIEE 11g. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Paul

Migrate scheduler jobs between 2 databases

Hello,
I'm working on migrating a tablespace between 2 databases on different platforms.
I'm using DataPump for export/import, and I'm using the CONTENT=METADATA_ONLY parameter for the export/import of schema and tablespace.
The schema owner has some scheduler jobs on the source DB, and after the migration, the same jobs appear on the target machine, but the ones with arguments cannot be run - I saw a bug (#5239417) exists on MetaLink on this subject - cannot migrate scheduler jobs with arguments if the above export parameter is used.
Are there other ways to transfer the scheduler jobs between my 2 databases?
Thank you,
Adrian
Edited by: AdrianM on Apr 6, 2010 7:54 PM

is it JOB and SCHEDULE, my guess is schedule
if it's job, then you can use dbms_job.user_export
if it's schedule, did you try to generate DDL script instead of running the actual import and then run that DDL on a side? http://www.dba-oracle.com/job_scheduling/export_scheduler.htm

Schedule a Job with multiple steps via ABAP Program

Hi Friends,
I want to create a report(Ex: ZREP) that will run another program(Ex: ZPGM) in background. What I need to do is, when I execute the report ZREP it should run the ZPGM automatically in background. This background execution should happen through JOB with multiple steps.
Why i am mentioned steps is, i have 1000 records in ZTABLE and need to execute 100 records each in one step and need to proecess in ZPGM with selection parameters. So in my case my job should create with 10 steps and need to execute in sequential manner.
FYI, In the ZREP selection screen i need to enter the records count/ interval to derive the job steps.
Please guide how to go ahead? Thanks in advance for all the help.
