Message no. FM016
I am not sure If i am executing the correct program
Could you please tell how would it be possible to schedule a periodic job for printing dunning ?
Or Any advise on how to schedule the dunning job in SAP
Thank you
Hi ,
U don't need to schedule a server proxy ...as the proxy will kick in automatically as soon as the message is processed by file adapter .
Since yours is File to proxy scenario...
and you want to execute it overnight ..
You will have to control when the file is processed by XI file adapter.
Here what you can do ..
Let's just say your file gets placed in a Folder 'A' ...and your file communication channel is configured to pick files from folder B.
Write an abap code on xi box ..(or you can use a V.B. script)
which will move the file from folder A to Folder B.This code can easily be scheduled..so that it you can get files in folder B from where XI processig will kick in .
(job scheduling can be done sm36 ..use the wizard)

How to schedule perioding BG job after job
My requirement is i need to schedule periodic job on daily basis, suppose i have 2 jobs A and B...then i need to start job B only and only if job A is finished..
Can you please guide me..You cannot specify a job as "periodic" if it is scheduled to start after a job. Refer [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/20/2d513897110872e10000009b38f889/content.htm]
You can achieve in 2 ways:
1. Create a single job & define 2 steps.
2. Use SAP Event to trigger the second job. At the end of the first job raise an event which will trigger the first job.

Scheduling periodic background jobs with changing parameters
Greetings,
I am wondering if anyone knows a way to do the following:
Say I have a report that I want to schedule in the background to run at the end of every month. Is there a way to set up the jobs to use different parameters (dates, etc.) each month without creating a variant for each month and scheduling the jobs separately? I hope that I am being clear in this question.
Another example would be if I wanted to run the report each day for the previous day. As you can see, it would be quite tedious to create a variant and manually scheduled job for each day.
Thanks in advance for any help or tips.
GeoffYes, when setting up your variant, you can pull in "dynamic" variants.
At your selection screen, click go to, variants, save as variant. Name it and give description.
Now for you particular field, check the "selection variable" check box for that field. Now at the top of the screen, click the selection variable button. This will take you to a new screen. Here you can choose to get the variable from the TVARV table, use a dynamic date calculation, or user defined.
In the case where you want to run for yesterday. Double click the icon under the "D", now click the down error. Double click current date -/+ ???, enter the -1. Now click save. This variant will now always take sy-datum - 1 and put it into that field.
Now for your monthly report. What we do here is we have variables set up in the TVARV table, which include current fiscal month, current calendar month, previous fiscal month, and so on. We run a program which re-calculates these variables everyday so that they are always accurate. You can set up the selection variable to use the table variable from TVARV. You would do this the same way as the dynamic date calc except click on the icon under the "T".

I want to revoke rights so users cannot schedule periodic jobs
We do encourage users to run reports in Background but we want to prevent them from scheduling periodic jobs.
We want to have more controll over periodic jobs as we observed that users schedule them and then forget about them.
Morover this has become our audit recommendation.
As far as I can see there is no standard way to do it.
Has anyone managed to achieve it?Hi..
while searching for the answer i have seen following interesting point.chk whether this will help you..
A job is eligible to start when both of the following are true:
The start condition specified for the job is met.
The job has been released to run.
No job can be run until it has been released, even those scheduled to start immediately. To monitor and control what jobs are submitted to run in background processing, the system can be configured so an administrator can check jobs before releasing them to run.
The release requirement can also be turned off on a per-user basis. Trusted users can be given a special authorization (authorization object S_BTCH_JOB (Batch Processing: Operations on Batch Jobs), value RELE) which will automatically and immediately release any job scheduled by that user.

How to schedule a job in SAP CPS
Hi,
I am new to SAP CPS.
So please tell how to schedule a job in SAP CPS. And which kind of job cam be schedule means BAP report.
Thanks
AnurodhHi,
In the installation and administration guide you'll probably find some examples.
The Job Definition you need is SAP_AbapRun to run any ABAP.
You submit this, specify the parameters as desired, and scheduling information, and that should do the trick.
That is assuming you have already connected CPS to an SAP system.
Check the topics in the docs within the product and on SDN on:
- Connecting to an SAP system
- Submitting Jobs
- SAP_AbapRun

How to schedule a Job in SAP DS ?
AFAIK, a SAP data services job is an ATL (i.e XML) file/code. How do we schedule this code to run automatically ? What runs it ?
In SSIS, Job = Package and it can be scheduled as a *job* in SQL server Agent. The agent runs it as per your schedule. So,
is there some kind of server which executes the code in the ATL file ?Hi Terry,
There are three ways you can manage batch job schedules
1. Using the job scheduler
When you schedule batch jobs using the SAP Business Objects Data Services job scheduler, it creates an entry in the operating system's scheduling utility on the Job Server computer. Windows uses the Task Scheduler and UNIX systems use the CRON utility. (Note that if you make changes to a schedule directly through these utilities, the job scheduler will not reflect those changes.)
2. Scheduling jobs in SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence platform
If you are using SAP Business Objects Business Intelligence platform and you want to manage your
SAP Business Objects Data Services job schedules in that application, first create a connection to a
Central Management Server (CMS), then configure the schedule to use that server.
3. Using a third-party scheduler
When you schedule jobs using third-party software:
• The job initiates outside of SAP Business Objects Data Services.
• The job runs from an executable batch file (or shell script for UNIX) exported from SAP Business Objects Data Services.
Note:
When a third-party scheduler invokes a job, the corresponding Job Server must be running.

Dunning run as periodic background job - TA F150
Hi Gurus,
do you know a functionality how to set up the dunning run (selection + printing) as as a periodic background job.
The issue is, that the parameters have to be changed with each run. For example we would like to run the dunning programm all 2 weeks in background. Is there a possibility to create a new dunning run and ID automatically. The date parameters should be also changed (+2 weeks). We do not want to change the proposal, we would like to print out the letters automatically.
Thanks for your response!

HI All,
I have a requirement like this;
Two background jobs are to be scheduled, Job A, Job B. Both jobs will run daily.
Job A will run at 8pm, and job B will run after completion of Job A.
Through SM36 I have scheduled job A to run at 8pm, periodic, daily and Job B after job A.
This is not working, as Job A is running daily at 8 but Job B has ran only on the day when I scheduled it.
Job B is not running daily after Job A completes.
Please suggest.Hi,
Create a event for job A and give the event name in the After event of Job B.
This will make the job B to run after the job A .
Hope this helps. -

How to schedule a background job in realtime
Hi,
Can you tell me how to schedule a background job in realtime.
give some example scenerios in scheduling the background jobs in realtime.
Thanks.
sam.And also.....
There are two ways for you to handle,
one manually setting up the job through SM36 which is better and convinient,
secondly through program using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.
Find below steps in doing both:
Procedure 1:
1. Goto Trans -> SM36
2. Define a job with the program and variant if any
3. Click on start condition in application tool bar
4. In the pop-up window, click on Date/Time
5. Below you can see a check box "Periodic Job"
6. Next click on Period Values
7. Select "Other Period"
8. Now give '15' for Minutes
9. Save the job
Procedure 2 via Program:
Below is a sample code for the same. Note the ZTEMP2 is the program i am scheduling with 15mins frequency.
DATA: P_JOBCNT LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
L_RELEASE(1) TYPE c.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'

How to schedule the background job daily twice?
Hi,
How to schedule the background job daily twice? any conditions?
Regards,
Srihithasee the step by step procedure.
Scheduling Background Jobs:
1. Background jobs are scheduled by Basis administrators using transaction SM36.
2. To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name
and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each
scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.
company codes).
3. While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified
(Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users
to find the spool request. The following parameters needs to be maintained:
a. Time of printing: set to Send to SAP spooler Only for now
b. Name abbreviated name to identify the job output
c. Title free form description for the report output
d. Authorization a value defined by Security in user profiles to allow those users to access
this spool request (authorization object S_SPO_ACT, value SPOAUTH). Only users with matching
authorization value in their profiles will be able to see the output.
e. Department set to appropriate department/functional area name. This field can be used in
a search later.
f. Retention period set to Do not delete if the report output needs to be retained for more
than 8 days. Once the archiving/document repository solution is in place the spool requests could
be automatically moved to the archive/repository. Storage Mode parameter on the same screen
could be used to immediately send the output to archive instead of creating a spool request.
Configuring user access:
1. To access a report output created by a background job, a user must have at
least access to SP01 (Spool requests) transaction without restriction on the user
name (however by itself it will not let the user to see all spool requests). To have
that access the user must have S_ADMI_FCD authorization object in the profile with
SPOR (or SP01) value of S_ADMI_FCD parameter (maintained by Security).
2. To access a particular jobs output in the spool, the user must have
S_SPO_ACT object in the profile with SPOAUTH parameter matching the value used
in the Print Specifications of the job (see p. 3.d above).
3. Levels of access to the spool (display, print once, reprint, download, etc) are
controlled by SPOACTION parameter of S_SPO_ACT. The user must have at least
BASE access (display).
On-line reports:
1. Exactly the same configuration can be maintained for any output produced
from R/3. If a user clicks Parameters button on a SAP Printer selection dialog, it
allows to specify all the parameters as described in p. 3 of
Scheduling background jobs section. Thus any output created by an online report
can be saved and accessed by any user authorized to access that spool request
(access restriction provided by the Authorization field of the spool request
attributes, see p. 3.d of Scheduling background jobs section).
Access to reports output:
1. A user that had proper access (see Configuring user access above) can
retrieve a job/report output through transaction SP01.
2. The selection screen can be configured by clicking Further selection
criteria button (e.g. to bring Spool request name (suffix 2) field or hide other
fields).
3. The following fields can be used to search for a specific output (Note that
Created By must be blank when searching for scheduled jobs outputs)
a. Spool request name (suffix 2) corresponds to a spool name in p. 3.b in
Scheduling background jobs section above).
b. Date created to find an output of a job that ran within a certain date range.
c. Title corresponds to spool Title in p. 3.c in Scheduling background jobs
section above).
d. Department - corresponds to spool Department in p. 3.e in Scheduling
background jobs section above).
4. Upon entering selection criteria, the user clicks the Execute button to
retrieve the list of matching spool requests.
5. From the spool list the user can use several function such as view the
content of a spool request, print the spool request, view attributed of the spool
request, etc. (some functions may need special authorization, see p.3 in
Configuring user access)
a. Click the Print button to print the spool request with the default attributes
(usually defined with the job definition). It will print it on a printer that was
specified when a job was created.
b. Click the Print with changed attributed button to print the spool request
with the different attributes (e.g. changing the printer name).
c. Click the Display contents button to preview the spool request contents. A
Print and Download functions are available from the preview mode. -

Periodic Background Jobs after another Job finishes
Hi
I have to schedule a job 'B' to run after job 'A' finishes.
When i schedule job 'B' to run after job A , it runs only once , while i need the job B to run periodically after job A finishes.
1) I cannt make job B as step 2 of job A , because job A is not scheduled by me and i cannt change that.
Can anyone tell me how to i trigger the job B periodicaly after job A finishes .
Any solution or hint would be appreciated.
Looking forward to some helpful replies from the gurus of SAP.
Regards
PurvaDear Team,
Job ES_RPTMC_CREATE_CHANGEPOINT_AUTH ran only once where as SEC:INDX_UPDATE_FOR_STRUCT_AUTHS ran daily.
CAUSE:
“The start condition "Start after job" is internally mapped by means of "Start after event SAP_END_OF_JOB with the parameter <Jobname><Jobcount> of the predecessor". The pair <Jobname><Jobcount> is the unique key for a job.
If a job is executed periodically, the SAP_END_OF_JOB event is always triggered with different parameters.
The successor in turn waits for SAP_END_OF_JOB with just one particular parameter (this is the parameter with <Jobname><Jobcount> from the first predecessor). When the successor is rescheduled, the key fields from the next predecessor must therefore always be known in advance, something which is not always technically possible.”
SOLUTION:
This task can be completed with the new ABAP program Program BTC_EVENT_RAISE.
The program is delivered by Support Package for Basis Releases 640 and 700, and is included in the standard system in all subsequent releases.
The program is used to trigger a batch event. Existing programs do not therefore have to be changed. The BTC_EVENT_RAISE program has several parameters in the selection screen, including the event (and parameters) that is to be triggered.
PROCESS:
Go To SM64
Click on Create
Create two events.
Our Case:
We created Z_ES_CP_AUTH and Z_SEC_AUTHS
Go to SE38
Give the event name as BTC_EVENT_RAISE
Select Variants and click on Display
Give the variant name as the one you created.
Our Case:
Z_ES_CP_AUTH
Click on Create
Give in the details for variants
Click on attributes and give the details for attributes
Go to the job which needs to be run first
• Select the job in released status
• Job->Change
• Step
• Add BTC_EVENT_RAISE as the last step of the job with the parameter as the variant created
Our Case:
Step: BTC_EVENT_RAISE, Parameter: Z_ES_CP_AUTH
Go to the job which needs to be run next
• Select the job in released status
• Job->Change
• Start Condition -> After Event.
• Give the BTC_EVENT_RAISE parameter of the first job as the event of the second job.
Our Case:
After Event: Z_ES_CP_AUTH
Save the changes.
The jobs will start running one after the other with the given frequency.
Thanks

Hi Experts,
I have a requirment to schedule Time Evaluation Job Automatically at Every day 12:00 am midnight. Could you pls help how to create variants and schedule the job.
Thanks
PriyaHi, Priyadarshini.
You can schedule a job also doing the following.
1. Enter in transaction PT60.
2. Define the parameters in the enter screen and save as variant.
3. Go to menu: Program --> Execute in Background.
4. Define the printer (so we can check the log error). Here use some printer already installed in sap and inform to send to SAP spooler, then you'll able to see the log in SP01.
5. Click on the button "Date/Time";
6. Inform the Date and the Time in "Schedule Start";
7. Click on the button "Periodic job";
8. Click on "Period values" and define Daily.
And this is it. I think it's better you access the program like this to schedule the job, once in the Productive client, usually, we don't have access to the SE38.
I hope it helps.

Luciano.
