Function Module to get central instance - /SDF/INSTANCE_INFO

joo_gaia — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 16:25:12 GMT

Hi All

Inside an abap program it is necessary to create a job. This job must run at the central instance with high priority.

I am going to use the FM /sdf/instance_info to obtain the central instance and export it at the targetserver parameter of the function JOB_CLOSE.

At the FM JOB_OPEN I will export 'A' to the parameter job_class.

My question:

- This function /SDF/INSTANCE_INFO may somehow cause damage to the production environment?

- Submitting a job with class 'A' may harm the production environment?

Could you please advise?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The FM only reads the central instance, it wont update anything so you can use the FM.

A-High priority, the system reserves at least one separate background work process for your job. Class A jobs are always processed before jobs of other classes.

If your job is a critical job then use this class otherwise use default class C.

Thanks a lot. I am going to implement it at the production environment.
