Variant based job schedule

Former Member — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 05:44:35 GMT

Hello,

I want to schedule a background job using Function module.

I have searched on SDN forums for the same, n got some function modules but they are not variant based.

I am providing job name, report name, date , time & variant name to the code.

I want a function module for the same.

Please if anyone can help me out with this?

Regards,

Krutika

Hi,

Check FM JOB_SUBMIT.

You can give variant in this FM.

HI ,

try with FM " BP_VARIANT_USED_IN_JOB

There are no date or time relevent fields in this FM where start date and time can be defined hence it will run immediately by default.

Hello Krutika,

You need to use JOB_OPEN, JOB_SUBMIT & JOB_CLOSE.

Also, you can use RS_CREATE_VARIANT for creating dynamic variants.

In JOB_CLOSE you can use following parameters:


CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
  EXPORTING
*   AT_OPMODE                         = ' '
*   AT_OPMODE_PERIODIC                = ' '
*   CALENDAR_ID                       = ' '
*   EVENT_ID                          = ' '
*   EVENT_PARAM                       = ' '
*   EVENT_PERIODIC                    = ' '
    jobcount                          =
    jobname                           =
*   LASTSTRTDT                        = NO_DATE
*   LASTSTRTTM                        = NO_TIME
*   PRDDAYS                           = 0
*   PRDHOURS                          = 0
*   PRDMINS                           = 0
*   PRDMONTHS                         = 0
*   PRDWEEKS                          = 0
*   PREDJOB_CHECKSTAT                 = ' '
*   PRED_JOBCOUNT                     = ' '
*   PRED_JOBNAME                      = ' '
*   SDLSTRTDT                         = NO_DATE
*   SDLSTRTTM                         = NO_TIME
*   STARTDATE_RESTRICTION             = BTC_PROCESS_ALWAYS
*   STRTIMMED                         = ' '
*   TARGETSYSTEM                      = ' '
*   START_ON_WORKDAY_NOT_BEFORE       = SY-DATUM
*   START_ON_WORKDAY_NR               = 0
*   WORKDAY_COUNT_DIRECTION           = 0
*   RECIPIENT_OBJ                     =
*   TARGETSERVER                      = ' '
*   DONT_RELEASE                      = ' '
*   TARGETGROUP                       = ' '
*   DIRECT_START                      =

Hope this resolves your issue!

Thanks,

Augustin.

Hi, Try these steps. The details are enough to follow the below step. <li>JOB_OPEN function module is used to create a background job <li>JOB_SUBMIT function module is used to add a job step to a background job that you have opened with JOB_OPEN <li>JOB_CLOSE function module is used to submit a background job to the background processing system for execution Thanks Venkat.O

Dear all,

The problem that i am facing is not of background job scheduling, but that the function module which i am using is not considering the variant name.

As my requirement is scheduling a job with the program variant as given by the user.

The FM that i am using is SUBST_SCHEDULE_BATCHJOB which has a option of variant name. But when the job is scheduled the variant name is not considered.

Kindly help me with the same .....

regards

Krutika

Hello Krutika,

In that case you can use JOB_SUBMIT.


CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_SUBMIT'
  EXPORTING
*   ARCPARAMS                         =
    authcknam                         =
*   COMMANDNAME                       = ' '
*   OPERATINGSYSTEM                   = ' '
*   EXTPGM_NAME                       = ' '
*   EXTPGM_PARAM                      = ' '
*   EXTPGM_SET_TRACE_ON               = ' '
*   EXTPGM_STDERR_IN_JOBLOG           = 'X'
*   EXTPGM_STDOUT_IN_JOBLOG           = 'X'
*   EXTPGM_SYSTEM                     = ' '
*   EXTPGM_RFCDEST                    = ' '
*   EXTPGM_WAIT_FOR_TERMINATION       = 'X'
    jobcount                          =
    jobname                           =
*   LANGUAGE                          = SY-LANGU
*   PRIPARAMS                         = ' '
*   REPORT                            = --------> Provide report name here
*   VARIANT                           = ---------> Provide variant name here
* IMPORTING
*   STEP_NUMBER                       =
* EXCEPTIONS
*   BAD_PRIPARAMS                     = 1
....
.......

I hope this will resolve issue.

Thanks,

Augustin.
