Scheduling a program in background with after job condition

Hi experts,
Is there a way to schedule a background job wherein it will be run every after another job? I've tried defining it on sm36 > start condition> After job> I stated the job name >check start status dependent. But it only run once even if the job which it is dependent on is scheduled everyday.
Thank you in advance!

This is (or was)  a well known issue, the option "after job" cannot be set to periodic. Theres lots of threads about this and several alternatives solutions.
Please search before posting

  • Schedule Module program in Background with Dynamic Input values ?

    Hi,
    I am trying a schedule a Standard Transaction which has Month,year and other Check boxes (By default they are Empty) .I need to schedule it monthly and Input must change dynamically when I run in background each month..
    How do we do this?

    You can not directly schedule a module pool program in background job.  These are usually reports.   What you can do is create a custom report program with your parameters on a selection screen.  In this program you can do a BDC over the standard transaction filling the parameters from the selection screen of the custom program.  This custom program can also have a selection screen variant which uses selection variables that will change dynamically.  Then you can schedule the custom report program via SM36.

  • How to schedule BDC program in background when we use GUI_UPLOAD

    Hi,
    I need to run the BDC program in the back ground. But my flat file is in presentation server and i am using GUI_UPLOAD F.M to upload data into I.T. How to schedule BDC program in background.
    Will anybody help me in this regards.
    Thanks in advance,

    You will either have to put your data file on the application server or make the directory of the presentation server available as part of the file system so that the background job will have access to it via OPEN DATASET... TRANSFER... CLOSE DATASET.

  • Write a program that would schedule another program in background multipul

    hi,
    1) Carry out the recording for the required transaction using SHDB.
    2) Use batch input method to create session this is done by three FMs
    bdc: open_group, bdc_insert, close_group.
    3) A session is created , which can be seen in transaction SM 35.
    4) Use the standard program RSBDCSUB to configure the session created in SM35.
    This way you can achieve your requirement.

  • Can I schedule a program as a periordic background job with dynamic viarent

    Hello experts, Can I schedule a progarm as a periodic background job run every day with dynamic condition (current day), if can,how?
    Best wishes,
    Evan

    Hi,
    You can do this to get desired results:
    Write a small new program that calls the program that you need to run daily by using submit .
    The new program can give input of current date to the called program.
    Now you can schedule the new program as a daily batch job.

  • Want to schedule a Job (Strt Cond after JOB which should be periodically !!

    Transactions : SM36 SM37 SM37C  SM62  S64 SE38
    Requirement
    JOBA should execute program   PROG1 with variant VARPROG1 in background everyday @ 10 AM.
    JOBB should execute program  PROG2 with variant VARPROG2 in background after JOBA
    JOBC should execute program PROG3 with variant VARPROG3 in background after JOBB
    JOBD should execute program PROG4 with variant VARPROG4 in background after JOBC.
    When i schedule the above jobs for one day ..It works fine !!
    We Require when JOBA scheduled daily / JOBB / JOBC / JOBD should should follows,
    which will not happen with a option : "Start Condition : After a JOB"
    irrespective technical i scheduled 1st job daily and JOBB / JOBC / JOBD as mentioned above.  Result : !st dya all jobs got executed and 2nd day only 1st job got released ans got executed.
    How can we acheive this ??
    Rgds

    Hi,
    You follow the below process.
    1) Define a BG job in your system with Daily Frequency and have four variants in that jobs such a way.
    Step-1    ---program PROG1 with variant VARPROG1
    Step -2 ---program PROG2 with variant VARPROG2
    Step-3 - program PROG3 with variant VARPROG3
    Step -4 program PROG4 with variant VARPROG4
    If you define the job in this way, this will ensure that Prog -2 will only start when Prog -1 will be over and similarly other will also follow the sequence and in this way you achieve the Daily frequency also.

  • Execute program in background(Scheduled)

    Hi guyz
    I want to execute a program on every last friday of the month. It should be scheduled automatically in back ground with out any manual interruption. Is there any way i can do that?
    Thanks

    Hi Satya,
    For executing jobs in non-interactive mode, schedule the job for background processing. To create a background processing job you should specify:
      The name of the report
      The name of any variant it needs
      What to do with output
      When to start it
    After this, the SAP system does not require user’s intervention and can proceed with the job even without you. It executes the report and prints the output using printer or output controller. While scheduling a job in background process, three parameters should be specified. These parameters are:
      Definition of programs
      Its start time
      The printing specification for getting the prints as required
    After this, you can check whether your job was executed successfully and display a log of any system messages.
    For scheduling background processing, you have to direct the system to process an ABAP/4 or external program in the background. This is a two-step process:
       Scheduling the program
       Releasing the job
    This needs to have a special authorization for releasing and scheduling the job. Generally, the system administrator, who organizes and monitors background processing, supervises the release of these jobs. Many users are also authorized to schedule background processing of reports. You cannot schedule a job unless and until you have a release authorization. If a user is authorized and has specified a start date or selected "start immediately," he or she can release the job.
    Authorized users can change start time. A program can be scheduled as a separate job or you can append it to an existing job, which has not yet been processed. Background process can be run while doing some other online work. However, this can adversely affect online operation and should be avoided. For example, if you run a program that locks the database, the work of online users will be hampered or stopped. Often, long-running reports are scheduled automatically or semi-automatically for background processing.
    First Step
    Initiate the job scheduling function. Standard job scheduling must be used in case of scheduling of an external command or external program as a background job and ABAP job scheduling function can be used to schedule ABAP programs. For starting a standard job scheduling function choose the following:
    Administration menu bar option à CCMS option à Jobs option à Definition option.
    For starting ABAP job scheduling function, navigate to ABAP Editor and choose Program menu bar option àExecute option à Background option.
    Second Step
    Now define a job. Using the Job Wizard you can define your job. From the Application toolbar, choose the wizard button. After this, the initial screen of the SAP Job Wizard appears. The Job Wizard is available only from the standard job scheduling function.
    Third Step
    Now, you have to save the job. When it displays the message "Job saved" it means the job has been successfully scheduled. We know that a job must be released before it is scheduled. Only authorized users can release the job, otherwise your system administrator will release your job.
    Fourth Step
    This is the last step of scheduling. In this step you have to check the status of your job. For this you need to choose System menu bar option à Own jobs option.
    In SAP System, the background processing runs according to your instructions. In case a list is generated by the report, the report either prints directly or waits for you in the SAP output controller. The status of background processing can be checked for its correctness.
    I think this will help you.
    If so then award the points.

  • What happens in the background when a job is scheduled!!!

    Hi,
       Can anyone tell me what exactly happens in the background in SAP when a job is set to "Scheduled" ( sm37) .
    Can v see the code executed in the background during the transtion from " Scheduled" state of a job to" Cancelled" to "Complete" state.
    Its urgent,
    Answers will rewarded,
    regards,
    Rohan

    Hi Rohan,
    Jobs and job steps enable you to treat complex tasks as single units. That is, you can schedule several programs needed to complete a particular task as steps within a single job, with the advantage of the job being single logical container for all the steps needed to complete the task. You need to schedule or review only one background job in order to schedule or review any of the individual steps necessary for completing the task.
    Assume that a particular data transfer with batch input requires that you start two programs, an external program to prepare the batch-input session and an internal program to process the session. Creating a job made up of two steps lets you handle the two programs as a single unit. Scheduling that one job schedules both programs. The results of each program's run can be seen in the job log.
    Some background processing attributes apply to entire jobs and, therefore, to all job steps within a job. For example, the earliest possible start time for any job steps will be the start time for the job. Frequency of repetition, priority, and other global attributes also apply to the whole job.
    To ensure that you can flexibly run individual programs, you can set important attributes individually for each job step, too. Each job step can:
    have its own spool, or output, specifications
    run under the authorizations of a separate user
    use a different language
    have its own runtime options (for programs external to the SAP System), such as handling of error output and synchronicity
    In general, job steps run sequentially and synchronously in the order they're entered in a job: the first step starts, runs, and is completed, then the second step starts, and so on. The only exception is when you schedule an external program to run asynchronously. In this case, the background processing system starts the next job step without waiting for a return code from the external program. If the external program runs long enough, then the start of the next job step may overlap it.
    Job steps run partially independently of each other’s status. That is, the abnormal termination of one job step does not roll back the work of a previously completed job step if this previous step was executing a commit. If any job step fails, however, then the entire job fails. No further job steps are carried out, and the job's status changes to Canceled.
    There are two types of job steps:
    An executable ABAP program
    Only type 1, or executable, ABAP programs can be used as job steps. Module pools and function groups, which are collections of ABAP modules, are not allowed. The specifications required for an ABAP job step are:
    ABAP program + Variant + Print and archiving parameters + Language
    An external command or external program
    This type of job step allows you to run programs outside the SAP System. External commands are predefined, authorization-protected commands for end users. External programs are unrestricted, directly entered commands reserved for system administrators.
    The type of external command and external program is unrestricted, meaning that you can use either compiled programs or scripts. Such programs can be run on any computer that can be reached from the SAP System. Parameter passing to non-SAP programs is completely unrestricted except by the predefinition mechanism for external commands.
    Output of non-SAP programs, particularly error messages, is included in the job's log file.
    Specifications required for an external command or program are:
    External command + Type of operating system + (Parameters) + Target host system
    External program + Parameters + Target host system
    Job Step Language
    If your SAP System runs with an Arabic, Cyrillic, or Asian character set, then you may need to change the language specified in the standard background jobs listed above. Languages are assigned to jobs based on job steps. Be sure that the language specified in the job step definition in each of these jobs is set to English (EN).
    This change is required because not all languages are available with all code pages. If the job’s specified language is not available, the job will not run.

  • Scheduling same program inbackground after reading values.

    Hi,
    I have a sel screen, where user is entering the file path,on click of a button , i am reading this file.
    I have a check after at sel-screen, that if sy-batch NE 'X', then some code(do in foreground).
    else (background) it will go to start-of-selection event, where i am manipulating with the file.
    But if after reading the file, user executes this program in background, the file data is getting refreshed.
    Please help.
    OR - i would like to put in simple words.
    Is it possible to execute a program in background from F9 and in foreground using a pushbutton on screen. (after reading values and manipulating them on at-selection screen event)
    Regards

    Edited by: Manu on Sep 25, 2010 6:23 PM

    If you save the data in a Database table, then in the background the program can do a SELECT to recover data.
    or
    Why you don't create a second program for backgroup, then ...
    1st Program for Read, process and store data (foreground)
    2nd Program to process data (to be exec in background)
    In the 1st program you can use a checkbox for launch the second program (in background) :
      - Using the command SUBMIT you can pass values from the first program to the second program
        or
      - Creating a JOB for call the second program (functions JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT and JOB_CLOSE)

  • Schedulling program in Background.

    Hi All,
    I have schedulled a program to be executed in back ground on a date greater than current date. While doing so, i have provided no of pages to be printed wrongly. Now i want to cancel/change only this no.of pages value. So to do this if i reschule this program to be executed in background on the same date & time as set in ealier but with changed/correct value of no.of pages, then will it over write the wrong value and will correctly print on that day? or do i have to do in other way?
    Thanks

    Time/Date/Jobname are not the keys, so you will have two jobs running. You need to delete the wrong one und reschedule it again.
