Variants for background jobs

You need to schedule and automate batch jobs in an organisation. There will be multiple variants and multiple steps within same batch jobs. The variants are date dependent and needs to change every day. You need to automatically change the variants every day and schedule the jobs. Also check for the failures in the jobs. Apart from that Once the jobs in one server example : R/3 server ends the jobs in BW servers should be triggered automatically. Explain all steps with proper T codes and also provide a dry run example. Also provide all the table used for the variants purpose.
Please help on this,thanks
Narendra

Hi Narendra,
The background jobs are scheduled depending on the requirement with specific variants which are both date specific and even specific sometimes. These variants are created for the programs or reports which are run in the background job ,These variants are stored in VARID table for client specific variants and
VARID_CI for client independent. For most of the times all these jobs are maintained in some job scheduling tools so that they automatically inform about job failures and processes can be automated.In our organisation we use UC4 for background job schedulign and it controls the process as you are looking for.
Please award points accordingly

Regarding Variants for Background jobs

Hi Folks
Can you please let me know the procedure how we can create the variants for Background jobs.
Points are assured for correct answers.
Regards,
kumar

Hi Sree Ram,
Check this info.
If you have any selection screen parameters for your program you need to enter the values for those fields in runtime. So, if you schedule your program in background to execute then there is no one to do this job. Here comes the concept of Variant.
With variant you define what are the selection field values in the runtime. During runtime the program picks this values and runs the program.
When you execute your program which has selection fields, you enter the values and then you click on 'GO TO ' tab and 'SAVE AS VARIANT'.
When you schedule your program in background, give this variant also. Then it will run automatically.
Hope this resolves your query.
Reward all the helpful answers.

Date and time for background job

Hi,
I am creating a program with out selection screen . This program runs based on date and time . so I need to create a table
with date and time fileds.
Program runs based on FROM DATE FROM TIME TO DATE TO TIME....... FROM DATE and FROM TIME will get it from ztable and TO DATE & TO TIME values as SY-DATUM & SY-UZEIT. In the end I will update sy-datum and sy-uzeit values in the custom table to get the values ( Use it for from date from time ) for next run of the program.
This program is mainly used for background job so how do we get the values of from date and from time for the first run of the program ? how do we update the latest date and time details by deleting old date and time details.
Thanks ,
Vinay.
Edited by: Vinay parakala on Apr 22, 2010 9:18 AM

First of all, I'll suggest to maintain TVARVC instead of doing it in custom table unless you need a complete log.
As per my understanding, you are trying to fetch some records based on the time period(Delta loads).
So, you will do an initial run to load the complete data then you will run it for time periods. For example,
1st Load- 01/01/1991(earliest date possible) - today's date say 03/22/2010
2nd load- 03/22/2010 - today's date
so on............
You have to move the to date values to from date values and to date value needs to be updated by the latest one for each load.
Do you have any dependency on background job? Please let me know if my understanding is correct or specify your requirement in detail.

Program for Background Job for COGI

Does anyone know what is the Program name for creating background job to run COGI? I'm using CORUAFFW to create variants and run the program but its not working as I guess it isonly generating the report but not deleting the records if inventory is added.
Thanks
Mama
Edited by: Amit Raichura on Mar 21, 2008 1:31 AM

Amit,
Use Program "CORUAFWP" to schedule background job to post COGI error records if the error is corrected, as in your case stock is corrected.

Use "grid display" for background job of RM07DOCS / MB51

Hello experts,
When you execute program RM07DOCS with transaction MB51, it uses a "hierarchy display" for the output, a list of material documents. User can then use the menus for "Goto>Detail List" and the display changes to a "grid display".
If we define a background job for program RM07DOCS with a variant, the program uses the "hierarchy display". Is it possible to use "grid display" instead? do we need to call a different program?
Thanks.
Raul V

Hi Raul,
Copy standard program RM07DOCS to ZRM07DOCS
Then add this code "PERFORM detail_list."
before the code "CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY' "
This will solve your problem.
Regards.

Creating a variant for background scheduling

Hi All ,
I have 3 seperate executable programs which take filename as an input on the selection screen ( from the application server ) . Now the requirement is to schedule these programs as background jobs using a variant , but the variant is not possible as there can be many files in the directory at the same time with different filenames.
We need to execute all the avalaible files in the application server directory at that time .
If someone can give any idea how it can be possible to schedule these in background , I would appreciate the same .
Thanks
Ankit

hi,
One thing u can do is,
Store the filename into one txt file,
and through program read this file for your input purpose,
that which prog. has to run....
I hope this will help u.
thanks

FM for Background Job Check

Hi,
is there a function module that will check the background job status and will wait for it to finish before returning to the calling program?
I have developed a program that triggers a background job at runtime, but i also need to make sure the job is finished, successful or not, before the output of the program. i'm currently doing a query in a job table inside a do enddo loop, but i believe this is not efficient.
Any ideas?
thanks.
tyken

I am not having the sample Code with me right now...
But i'll help you to build the logic...
after Write report.
Use the Function module I told u...
then...
write a select query on table tbtcp with job info you will get from FM.
What is your objective after getting the Background Job details..?

Spool error for background job

Hi All,
I have scheduled one job in sap for a report.I have made a distribution list via tcode SO01.
I have given this distribution list to the SPOOL RECEPIENT section in SM 36.
The job is running successfully but is giving the following error and not sending emails to the distribution list.
The error is :-
"Spool list of step 1 could not be sent due to error 7".
Does anybody has any idea about this error?
Please help its a production issue.
Thanks in advance
Vivekanand Meghmala

Look at SAP note : 760838
Symptom
Background job spool lists are not sent.
Other terms
RSBTCRTE, RSPO_SPOOLJOB_TO_OFFICE, SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1
Reason and Prerequisites
1. The jobs in question have recipient references in table TBTCO but these have no equivalent in the Business Object Repository.
2. An error occurs when sending in the spool or in the Sapconnect layer.
Solution
This note does not provide a direct solution to the problem but it does provide a source code enhancement that you can use to create more trace information about the cause of the error. When you copy and execute a job with spool list recipients, trace messages are output when errors occur.
After implementing the correction instructions, use transaction SE91 to create the following message:
Message class: BT
Number: 347
Text: Spool list of step &1 could not be sent due to error &2.
In detail, the error numbers mean:
1 = Spool request does not exist (or no longer exists)
2 = Spool request does not contain any data
3 = Empty page area selected
4 = No authorization to send the request
5 = Access to the spool request is not possible
6 = Read error in the Temse layer
7 = Spool request could not be sent (sending problem)
8 = Incorrect request type
9 = Other
