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

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
            PREDJOB_CHECKSTAT    = 'X'
            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?

How to trigger a Job on cancellation of another Job ?

Hi Friends,
I have a requirement stated as below.
We need to trigger a Job (JobB) on cancellation of another Job (JobA). This needs to happen on a periodc basis.
If JobA is success then we dont need to run JobB.
Could you please let me know how to acive this.
Regards,
Ravi Kasnale

Try this,
goto SM36 & create a job say job name "Job_test"
Define a Job Step,
choose an ABAP program say Zjob_start
before this step Write an ABAP program "Zjob_start" which can,
check status of "JobA"
Use FM's mentioned by other members in this post.
Check the status of JobA
If its cancelled start your new job.
by some FM's mentioned by other members in this post.
The start conditions for Job_test should be "After Job"
& mention JobA in the parameter unchecking the checkbox & finish.
Try, this may work.

Redwood - Schedule a job dependant on another jobs completion?

Hoping someone can help as documentation on Redwood seems to be very limited.
We are currently running Redwood for the "Standard Jobs" without an issue, however we now have a requirement to start testing our batch schedule through Redwood and can't seem to figure out how to create jobs with dependencies on other job completions?
Can anyone point us in the right direction?
The other issue we have, is that we are unable to find an option to release a job based on an event trigger?
Thanks a lot

Hi Matthew,
Jobs can be made dependant in two ways.
1. Using Job chains where you will be able to have multiple scripts (each script executes a step in multi step job) dependant on one other. (Documentation for the same is available in Redwood help with key word What is a job-chain). In this case you will have one job chain with multiple scripts getting executed in a parallel or sequential way. Also it is possible to embed job chains in other job chain. You can take different actions based on output / processing state (completed, cancelled etc.) of previous script in Job chain.
2. Raising events by predecessor script which in turn triggers next script.
First solution is more appropriate and used one.
If you are talking about events in Redwood they can be raised and sensed by scripts and can be defined in script properties under node wait Events & Raise events.
Hope this helps.

Who scheduled a job with service user

Hi,
In my one of the system one job is running with service user. As service user cannot log into system. One of the dialog user logged in to system and scheduled one job with service user. this job is running more than 2 months. Now we want to know who is that dialog user scheduled this job with service user. I have checked in job details it is not showing dialog user who has sheduelded first time.
Pls someone help me in this case.
Kind regards,
Ram
<subject_modified>
Use a proper subject
Read the "Rules of Engagement"
Edited by: Juan Reyes on Jul 1, 2009 10:25 AM

Just check the job owner.... If the Owner is the service user then most likely the user was changed to service user after the job creation. Also be aware that some jobs are generated by the system.

SQL SERVER AGENT job dependent on another job

Hi
I have 2 Sql Server Agent jobs that run on a daily basis.
One which is run first but is dependant on another job completing.
The secone runs every 30 mins between 9:00am to 7:00pm.
If my first Job hasn't run but the 2nd job does start running the 2nd job will fail.
Is there away with SQL servent agent where if my first Job hasn't run then don't run the 2nd job?
Regards

Hi aivoryuk,
According to your description, if you set one job is dependent on another job, when the first job does not run or execute failed, then the second job will not run. I recommend you use two steps to instead of this two jobs. In step Advanced page, we can set
that the first job execute successfully then go to the next step. Or else, it will quit the job and report a failure.
The other way is that we create new job with the same schedule as the second job , in this job , we can check the first job status with the sp_help_job stored procedure, then you can use sp_start_job to Start
the second job. For more information, you can review the following post.

Job with Multiple Schedule of same time & only one is executed, Why

Hi ALL,
I've Created a package to notify report in email as excel, which is using a path to render report and save it as excel.
This package was need to be schedule every first day of month and on every Friday even at morning 7 AM.
So logically these are two events.
But if we see on 1 May 2015 we have Friday and plus first day of month
So technically this should fail.
either for IO operation for render &
storing data over same location with same file name.
To replicate this i created two three schedule
Below is the job history, job is invoked by only one schedule
Question-
1) Why one one schedule execute?
2) why "sched2" only , it could be "sched3" only or "DentalOperationStackAndRank-Sched1" Only?
Another this i result into error if different job executing same package at same schedule.
FYI- package is deployed at database level
HS

Hi HS,
As described in this
article, more than one job can run on the same schedule, and more than one schedule can apply to the same job.
And I make a test about your scenario, when configuring a SQL Server job with three schedules that reference same dates and times, my job behaves as yours that only one schedule is executed, but the job is invoked by schedule2 or schedule 3 in my environment.
It is a normal behavior of SQL Server job in my opinion. For more details about such scenario, you can track the job following this
blog.
However, when I configure three jobs that run on the same schedule, everything works well and the three jobs all run successfully.
I recommend you configure three different jobs that execute same package at same schedule .
Thanks,

How to schedule batch jobs to run after another periodically?

Hi good people,
I want to schedule batch jobs to run periodically one after another.
Here is the problem:
I have scheduled JOB1 to run once a week and I scheduled JOB2 to run after that job (JOB1). The problem is that JOB2 runs only after the first time that JOB1 runs. The second time the JOB1 runs the JOB2 is not started. I presume that the reason for that is that JOB2 is tied to the job number for the JOB1, and since a new job (with the new number) is created every week, the JOB2 is only tied to the first instance of JOB1.
So does anyone have an idea how to get JOB2 to automatically run every week after JOB1? One idea is to use events, but that I'm hoping that there is a bit cleaner solution..
Best Regards,
Armin

Hi
Try scheduling both JOB1 & JOB2 in a single job in steps.
First schedule JOB1 & then give JOB2 in steps.
Kindly check the following link to do job scheduling in steps:

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"

David

hi
Try this
We can do that via SUBMIT statement:
Go through the documentation os SUBMIT statement with addition:
... USER user VIA JOB job NUMBER n
Schedules the specified report in the job specified by the job name job and the job number n. The job runs under the user name user and you can omit the addition USER user. The assignment of the job number occurs via the function module JOB_OPEN (see also the documentation for the function modules JOB_CLOSE and JOB_SUBMIT). This addition can only be used with the addition ...AND RETURN.

Job submission failed : error occurred while scheduling the job. org.quartz.objectalreadyexistsexception: unable to store job with name

Experts,
Please help me out here,Am facing this issue while scheduling a job in BIPublisher.
job submission failed : error occurred while scheduling the job. org.quartz.objectalreadyexistsexception: unable to store job with name
Thanks,

You are probably installing on a hardened machine.
The "installation guide" says that if you are doing so, you need to create a file named libx11.so.4 and update your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (see http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/messaging/ims52/ig/unix/overview.htm)but:
1- the library name is libX11.so.4 and
2- for jre a common file is not enough, you need to install SUNWxwplt at least. This will install the library on /usr/openwin/lib.
You can check the results running <server-root>/bin/base/jre/bin/jre
Hope that helps and sorry about my poor english.

How can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

We need the Request Restart ability when scheduling a single reoccurring job in Redwood. Most of our jobs are scheduled in CHAINs which offers the Final Status Handler on Step level, and the schedule is "paused" when a job in the CHAIN has failed ( the next instance does not populate until the OP MSG has been Replied to) , and once the OPERATOR message is replied to, the CHAIN can resume running again ( desired ) . But we need this same ability when scheduling a single job not in a CHAIN. In our testing, we set up a job with Request Restart chosen on the Error , Killed and Unknown selections on the Restart Behavior Tab. But we found when a job is scheduled say once a day at 8AM, and when it fails, an OPERATOR msg appears allowing a Restart choice ( desired), but the next day's schedule also populates ( undesired) and we do NOT want the schedule to continue on yet because we need a chance to fix the error before the next insance runs for business reasons. So how can you get the schedule of a single reoccurring job with Restart ability in Redwood to pause when it has failed...?

Hello Fran,
You can wrap the job chain in a master job chain in the first step and set the final status handler there.
You can also set the Restart Behavior to 'Stop Submit Frame', in that case you will have to resubmit the job once you are finished troubleshooting.

Reports-Job-Scheduler: create job with startoption later: wrong date-format

Hi,
I test reports 11.1.1.2.0 (weblogic11 g) and try to start a report job with Reports-Job-Scheduler.
Startoption: later and date = 09:48 Jan 12, 2010
When I submit the job I get following Error:
REP-50006: Das Argument SCHEDULE ist in der Befehlszeile ungültig: 09:48 Jän 12, 2010
in english:
Rep-50006: argument Schedule is wrong in command line: 09:48 Jän 12, 2010
Why is Jän instead of Jan.
When I start the report in February then it works.
I defined also environment variables in basic configuration for the report server:
NLS_DATE_FORMAT DD.MM.YYYY
NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE GERMAN
NLS_LANG GERMAN_GERMANY.WE8ISO8859P1
I would be very pleased to get support.
Many thanks

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.
