Transaction SM37 - Job overview

In this transaction, i can see Jobs status as
- Scheduled
- Released
- Ready
- Active
- Finished
- Canceled
Is there a sequence which has to be followed ie, first will be active, released ...... finished.
ALso what is scheduled Job do.

Hi,
you no need to follow any sequence in SM37.
Once u create a job via SM36 or via some programs, the jobs will be coming under Scheduled job.
If you submit a job via program, the job will be released automatically. but if u schedule a job theu SM36 , it'll be under scheduled and u have to release that job to run--u can see release button
Once u release that job , it'll go to active state and then finished or if any issues come , it'll be under cancelled..
Scheduled
- Released
- Ready
- Active
- Finished
- Canceled
These are all for users to see the job, I mean the Job status. This whole cycle will be run automatically. U need to release the Job that's it.

Hello Rajesh,
Any background job goes through the following states 'in that sequence':
1. Scheduled (the job has been planned, it will execute at some point of time in future, but you may still edit the job steps at this stage)
2. Released (the job steps cannot be edited, any job scheduled in 'immediate' mode will be in released state directly)
3. Ready (the job is in execution queue and is about to be executed depending upon availability of background work process and the job priority)
4. Active (the job is being executed by a background work process, you may monitor this in sm37 and sm50/51)
5. Finished (all the job steps completed successfully) OR Cancelled (there was a error and job has been terminated, as mentioned in the job log)
Coming to your second question, scheduled job will go through the states mentioned above before its finished or cancelled.
This may clarify your doubts.

Saurabh.

Is it possible to have Multiple Spool requests in one batch job overview?

Hi,
While running one of my z program in back ground, there are two spools generated (one by write statement and one by OPEN_FORM statement and both the spools are available in SP01 Transaction), but when i see the job overview in transaction SM37, I only see one spool request (that of the last spool request). Can any body in the group please tell me is it possible to see multiple spool requests in the job overview of one Abap program and if yes, how?
Thank you.
Abinash

Hi Jayanthi,
Thank you for the link. But probably that discussion was also an unsolved one.
Anyway, does any one in the group think that display of multiple spools per one step job is dependent on client / SAP Server setting? Because as evident from the chain of mails in the link provided by Jayanthi, some people say that they see multiple spool requests for one program in batch mode job overview (SM37)? If yes, can some body tell me the required configuration?

Cancelled job still visible in Job Overview as active

Hello Peers
I am loading the data from One Cube to other and had given selection wrongly,
I tried checking the PID number for the Job and Cancelled it with Core in SM50.
then i made the Traffic light Red and deleted the request from the Infocube Manage.
But in SM37 i see that job is in Active state.
Can anyone tell what could be the reason, even i tried selecting that and cancelling it from menu it shows Cancellation not possible as job is not in active state.
Suggest me why it is showing the job in active state

Hi there,
That's because the job is already cancelled but transaction sm37 is not automatically refreshed.
Go to transaction sm37 mark your job and choose Check Status (CtrlShiftF12).
This will update your job status to cancelled.
Diogo.

SM37 - JOBs was CANCELED

Hello all,
Can someone explain why Job was Canceled...
tx = SM37 - JOBs were CANCELED
Some JOBS were finished ans some were canceled:
name: DELIVERY_APR / user: JHERNANS/ stts: COMPLETED/ date: 06.06.2007/start: 01:00:32/ finished: 07:26:17
name: DELIVERY_JUN / user: JHERNANS/ stts: CANCELED/ date: 06.06.2007/start: 01:00:36 /finished: 01:03:56/
name: DELIVERY_MAR / user: JHERNANS/ status: CANCELED/ date: 06.06.2007/ start: 01:00:32
name: TS MAY NAT/ user: JHERNANS/ status: CANCELED/ date: 06.06.2007/ start: 01:00:36
All JOBS above has just 1 STEP which is:
ABAP program: AQIWGM==========TS============
However each JOB has a different VARIANT(PARAMETER):
job: DELIVERY_APR / parameter: &0000000004820
job: DELIVERY_JUN / parameter: &0000000004885
job: DELIVERY_MAR / parameter: &0000000004801
job: TS MAY NAT / parameter: &0000000004856
ALL CANCELEDS JOBS were canceled because :
ABAP/4 processor: DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR
All CANCELED JOBS has the same at Job Log:
- ABAP/4 processor: DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR/ message class: 00/ message nº: 671/ message type: A
- Job cancelled/ message class: 00/ message nº: 518/ message type: A
Question: What has happened?
Is a time overlapping problem
Or
Can it be a program problem?

SM37 Job schedule in BW

Hi,
I had a 2 SM37 Jobs in BW.
for the next 3 Weeks my requirment is to schedule One Job to run from MON-WEd and Another jon to run THu-SAT
How can i schedule/release a job in SM37 and meet my requirment

hi friends..
your solution might be correct, but we need to create 3 jobs with different timings (MON, TUE, WED) and same for the second also then the number of jobs created are 6, here time is wasted i think so.
so i have one small idea, i hope it works.
make a FACTORY CALENDAR such with MON, TUE, WED as working days and while scheduling the job use that factory calendar. and create one more FACTORY CALENDAR with THU, SAT as working days and us it for scheduling the second job.
hope it works.

FM to deschedule Multiple SM37 Jobs

Hi All,
I need to deschedule about 250 SM37 Jobs.
Is there any FM or Program to accomplish this, So that i can give only list of jobs and let the program to deschedule.
Regards,
Vijay.

Hi,
See the Belwo FM's
SAP_REORG_JOBSTATISTIC --> Deletes job statistics for jobs not run since the specified date (statistics no longer needed since job was a one-time occurrence or is no longer run)
SAP_REORG_UPDATERECORDS -> Deletes old completed update records (automatic delete deactivated); deletes incomplete update records (automatic delete deactivated).
Even you can runa Small Select statment on table TBTCO ro deschedule the SM37 jobs ....

SM37: job sends message even when report list is empty

Dear gurus,
I run job over transaction VD59 - the result of this report is sent to recepient via email. Even when VD59 gives no results (no rows), recepient receives empty message.
Can I somehow set that in the case of empty result list job sends no message?

Writing in SM37 Job Log

Hi Abappers,
I have a requirement in which I am displaying all the error messages in an ALV when my program runs in Foreground. But this program runs in background, those error messages must be displayed in the Job Log of SM37.
I should not raise any error or information messages to come in log automatically as it affects the foreground processing of my program.
Is there any FM to write in the Job log?? Or can I use the Message statement in such a way that it is not diaplayed in forground?
Thanks in Advance,

Hi,
Try this.
If you are using ALV grid in the foreground, use the same without without creating the container (basically check the SY-BATCH, before creating a container). Then the same ALV grid will create a spool with all the messages during background execution.

SM37 Job is not visible in SM50

Hello Gurus,
I am seeing a peculiar situation- We ran a job and after a while I am seeing it has dissappeared from SM50 but has "Active" status in SM37.
*We have only one application server.
Does anybody have any idea how it could be cancelled.
Cheers,
Ankur

Hi Subhash,
The issue was that Job was active in SM37 but was not present in SM50. I found the answer and this is due to termination of work process without making a call to "BtcCleanUp" kernel function .
Anyway thanks for replying.
Cheers,
Ankur

Call transaction inside job

hi all,
I have a call transaction program for tcode ME55, the probleme is when i execute the program directly via se38 to release the sales documents it work fine, on the other hand when i call the program via SM37 nothing will happen.
thanks,
karim

Hi,
What exactly do you want to do by calling t.code me55 ? Upload some data in background or display the transaction to a user only ?
If you want to do a call transaction in background, you will have to pass BDC data to it as well. Then transaction will run with the passed data then. To know what data to pass, simply record your transaction in SHDB T.code and create a program for the BDC.
ME55 is a report, so perhaps you can use SUBMIT with the selection parameters in your program to be able run that program in background.

Advait
