Scheduling a job in another system

Hello,
I am looking for a FM or a report through which I can schedule a background job (a simple report program without a variant) in another system.
Frequency option should be available since I want this scheduled job to be executed every day.
Thanks,
Arvind...

Hi,
You can use the below 2 BAPI's for background job's in external system.
bapi_xbp_job_add_ext_step or bapi_xbp_add_job_step

How to schedule a job in another system.

Hi,
Now i have an ABAP program, which run in system ABC, client 001. i want to schedule a job in the program, with the function modules JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT, and JOB_CLOSE. But this job should run in ABC/002.
How to write code?
Who can help me on the requirement, or provide me another new solution except event trigger?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Johnney

How to run a job in another system

This is the situation
i want to test if a job, with ad external progra, that now is running in a Windows Application Server, can be moved in a linux Application server (and in another system), and if linux can process the *.bat file
the jobs has a various step
C:\*.bat -> Progr. exit
Z*      -> ABAP
Z*   -> ABAP
Z*_STEP1   -> ABAP
ZBAPI_* ->ABAP
C:\*.bat -> Progr. exit
Anyone can help me to move it and schedulate the job?

Hi,
You have to convert the batch file of windows to shell script. and use that as external program or command in the job definition instead of .bat file.You also have to edit the job definition in sap saying that the background server should be your Linux Application server.
To convert *.bat file to shell script file this link would be helpful to you

Scheduling one background job inside another

Hi All,
Is it possible to Scheduling one background job inside another.? i.e In my Z program I am calling job_open, job_submit, job_close and to execute one standard report in background. And after that I am executing my Z program itself from SE38 as Program->Execute->Background->Execute Immediately. Is this logically correct? I am asking this because I am not getting the desired result
Thanks & Regards,
Neethu.

HI,
Check the job steps in SM36.
First schedule the Standard job and in the job steps schedule the z report.

Schedule background job using system variant

Dear gurus,
We're planning to schedule background job using system variant, for example, current fiscal year and current posting period (transaction AFAB). Is it possible? So for example, for this month, "Posting Period" value will be 6, and then next month will be 7.
Can you tell me how to do this, if I want to set up the schedule only once?
Thanks for your help.

Maintenace Plan - Scheduling Impact - Migration one SAP system to another

Hello All
I need a small help, we are migrating from one SAP system to another and will be creating maintenance plan (counter, multiple counter and time based) as a 1:1 copy of the source system in the destination system,
1. I have a requirement that all future schedulling orders (schedulled but not created) that are visible in IP24 in source system with a future date should be also visible when the new plans are created and migrated in the new sap system with a same date.
Can some one suggest the way to go ahead on this?
2. Also if in a source system we have a maintenance order open (follow up of a plan) how do i create it as an open order following up from the maintenance plan in the new SAP system.
Thanks
Manu

Hi,
For this to achieve you need to schedule maintenance plans in new system with completion date / Plan start date of last completed call for cases where Completion confirmation is checked / Not checked. This is for plans with single package.
If the plan is of multiple packages, then you need to perform start-in-cycle using the last completed package and the dates as mentioned above.
Permutations and combinations keep on varying if the plans in old systems are counter based, multiple counter based, cycle sets with different dimensions are used.
You need to work out the schedule dates for each combination.
Thx

Send a render job to Media Encoder on another system?

I am a recovering Final Cut Pro user. Switched over about version FCP X 10.3. The railroad tie that broke the camel's back for me was a removed feature I am hoping I can do with Premiere in some way.
In FCP 7 and even FCP X up to 10.3, you had the option of sending a render job to their version of Media Encoder (Called "compressor") just like Premiere Pro can do now. However, you had the option of being able to use a "render cluster" by where if compressor was loaded onto other macs on your network, it would send the job out to one of those nodes or even split it up and send parts of it to several computers to parallel encode the job. Made large jobs faster and allowed you to not have to bog down your processors on you main computer with a render job. Apple just took it out with 10.4, which was a deal breaker for me.
I know Premiere/Media Encoder does not have the ability to split the job up, but was wondering if there as a way I could send a render job to Queue up on the Media Encoder of another system...say my Mac mini server which also has Media Encoder on it. Is there any way to select the path to the Media Encoder and thus have it deploy the render job to the other machine?
Thanks.

You can export a Sequence on another machine on your network, if that's what you want to do.
You can save your Sequence on your A machine, then import the sequence to AME on your B machine, and export away.
I do this myself. I allows me to keep working on my A machine at more or less full speed while my B machine is cranking out review movies or whatever. There's a little network overhead, but not enough that I notice.
Just click the + icon in AME on your B machine, and navigate to your project and sequence on your network.

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:

Scheduling of jobs

Hi Gurus,
I have an issue regarding scheduling of jobs:
How can we schedule the jobs based upon the colour and raw material structure.
The scenario is , today I have to produce a red colour film (which is a sub assembly for a Parent item) and i have another order for a different Parent item which requires this red colour film , for this the system has suggested a different date. Make a note that this red colour film has different item code for different Parent item .So we have to produce this red film in continuation and also to minimize the losses. How can we achieve this with the help of application .
We don't have the scenario of Make to Stock , every product is customized and Order to Make scenario is applicable here.
Please provide your suggestion . Is build sequence is applicable here , if yes then how?
Thanks in advance.
Sameer

Hi,
Yes I am using Manufacturing Scheduling.
The business scenario is:
We are into flexible packaging industry. Here we produce films : coloured and transparent. The coloured film are of various colours and grade.
So our aim is to club the jobs of same colour and grade in order to minimize the setup losses .
The issue is :system is scheduling the job based on the Delivery dates.
How can we achieve this optimization of losses as the sale orders will be having different delivery dates and schedule.
SInce ATO is not applicable in this industry and it goes on the lines of Make to Order.
We dont have the concept of Forecast here .
I hope i have made myself clear . Please revert if you want to have more information.

I couldn't find any logs in SM21 of that time also no dumps in ST22.
Possible reason for this error:
I have scheduled the job Check database structure (only tables) at some other time and deleted the earlier job which was scheduled during the bussiness hours which caused performance problem.
So to avoid performance issue i scheduled this job in the mid night by cancelling the old job which was scheduled during the bussiness hours.
And from the next day i could see this error in DB13.
Rest all the backups are running fine but the only job getting cancelled is for "Mark tables requiring statistics update"
Could anyone tell me what should i do to get rid of this error?
Can i schedule this "Mark tables requiring statistics update" again by deleting the old one?
Thanks.
Regards.
Mudassir Imtiaz

Hello Adrian,
Thanks for your response.
Every alternate day we used to have performance issue at 19:00hrs.
Then when i checked what is causing this problem, i discovered that there was a backup "Check Database Structure (tables only)" scheduled at this time and it was mentioned that this backup may cause performance issue.
Then i changed "Check Database Structure (tables only)" the time of this backup to 03:00hrs.
The next day when i checked DB13 i found that one of the backups failed.
i.e. "Mark Tables Requiring Statistics Update"
Then i checked the log which i posted earlier with the error: "Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE"
I posted this error here and then i tried to delete the jobs scheduled i.e. "Mark Tables Requiring Statistics Update" and then re-schedule it at the same time and interval.
And then it started working fine.
So i just got curious to know the cause of the failure of that job.
Thanks.
Regards,
Mudassir.Imtiaz
P.S There is one more thing which i would like to say which is not related to the above issue, and m sorry to discuss this in this thread.
I found a few Bottlenecks in ST04 with Medium and High priority.
Medium: Selects and fetches selectivity 0.53%: 122569 selects and fetches, 413376906 rows read, 2194738 rows qualified.
High: 108771 primary key range accesses, selectivity 0.19%: 402696322 rows read, 763935 rows qualified.
There are a lot these.
I would really appreciate if you tell me what is the cause for these Bottlenecks and how to resolve.
Thanks a lot.

Scheduling background job on Logon group

Hi All,
We have 4 logon groups configured in SMLG, while scheduling the job in SM36 ->Target server field i am able to see only one group and other indivdual servers not all the Groups configured in SMLG.
Is there any option i have to check to let all the groups configured in SLMG to diaply in SM36 for scheduling so that i can select the Logon group. I tried giving the logon group names manually which are not listed in Target server field it's giving the error group not exist..
Please suggest..how to make all the Groups configured in SMLG to get displayed in SM36 for scheduling jobs...
Thanks,
Subhash.G

Target server field is Name of an SAP instance at which a background job should be run. The name has the following format: <host name>_<SAP System name>_<SAP System number>, where host name is the name of the server computer on which the instance is running, as specified in the system profile parameter SAPLOCALHOST.
The name of each instance is specified in the system profile parameter rdisp/myname.
Example: hs0123_C11_55
In programming: As the table field EXECSERVER, shows the target instance selected by the user for running a job. As the table field REAXSERVER, shows the SAP instance at which a job was actually run.
Hope this is clear.
Thank you,
Shyam
