SAP Jobs: Control programatically

former_member203070 — Wed, 01 Jan 2014 15:05:20 GMT

I need a quick suggestion.

I need to control the below parameters for a particular background job -

Job Name
Job Class
Status
Exec. Target
User
ABAP Program Name
Variant
Scheduled Start Date
Scheduled Start Time
Status

I know we can leverage of tables TBTCO, TBTCP.

But is there any FM (function module) or BAPI to handle the background job through our custom program???

Prompt reply will be highly appreciated and rewarded.

Thanks

Hi Partha!

Yes we have so many FM's ( BAPI_XBP*) to control the Job sechduling! do let me know what exactly you want to control through the custom program!

Do you want to get the Job log information or schedule the job!

Hi Kiran,

Thanks for your reply.

I need to schedule the job for one case and need to change the status of the job for some other case.

When scheduling the job we need to specify the mentioned parameters -

Job Name
Job Class
Status
Exec. Target
User
ABAP Program Name
Variant
Scheduled Start Date
Scheduled Start Time

as in SM36.

Thanks

Hi Partha,

You can use theFM BP_JOB_CREATE

call function 'JOB_SUBMIT'

BP_JOB_STATUS_GET

TUJOB_UPDATE_STATUS

finally just check if required

Object type XBPJOB

Externally controllable background (an interface)

Hi,

You can use the following BAPIs for scheduling a job in background

BAPI_XBP_JOB_OPEN - This BAPI solves the first step in scheduling a job in the R/3 background processing system. You can create the job with this method.

Using additional BAPI calls BAPI_XBP_JOB_ADD_ABAP_STEP and BAPI_XBP_JOB_ADD_EXT_STEP, you can add job steps to the job.
