There are two ways for you to handle,

one manually setting up the job through SM36 which is better and convinient,

secondly through program using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.

Find below steps in doing both:

Procedure 1:

1. Goto Trans -> SM36

2. Define a job with the program and variant if any

3. Click on start condition in application tool bar

4. In the pop-up window, click on Date/Time

5. Below you can see a check box "Periodic Job"

6. Next click on Period Values

7. Select "Other Period"

8. Now give '15' for Minutes

9. Save the job

In SM37 u can check the status of the jobs that u have assigned to background...

Here u mention the job name or the report name to check the status of the job...

After mentioning the job name or program name u just execute it.. ( without any name also u can execute then it gives u all the jobs set by your user name..

the status colud be released,active,finished etc..

Procedure 2 via Program:

Below is a sample code for the same. Note the ZTEMP2 is the program i am scheduling with 15mins frequency.

DATA: P_JOBCNT LIKE TBTCJOB-JOBCOUNT,
      L_RELEASE(1) TYPE c.
 
   CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
     EXPORTING
       JOBNAME                = 'ZTEMP2' 
    IMPORTING
      JOBCOUNT               = P_JOBCNT
    EXCEPTIONS
      CANT_CREATE_JOB        = 1
      INVALID_JOB_DATA       = 2
      JOBNAME_MISSING        = 3
      OTHERS                 = 4.
   IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
   ENDIF.
 
   SUBMIT ZTEMP2 VIA JOB 'ZTEMP2' NUMBER P_JOBCNT
          TO SAP-SPOOL WITHOUT SPOOL DYNPRO 
          WITH DESTINATION = 'HPMISPRT'
          WITH IMMEDIATELY = SPACE
          WITH KEEP_IN_SPOOL = 'X' AND RETURN.
 
   CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
     EXPORTING
       JOBCOUNT                          = P_JOBCNT
       JOBNAME                           = 'ZTEMP2' 
       STRTIMMED                         = 'X'
       PRDMINS                          = 15
    IMPORTING
      JOB_WAS_RELEASED                  = L_RELEASE
    EXCEPTIONS
      CANT_START_IMMEDIATE              = 1
      INVALID_STARTDATE                 = 2
      JOBNAME_MISSING                   = 3
      JOB_CLOSE_FAILED                  = 4
      JOB_NOSTEPS                       = 5
      JOB_NOTEX                         = 6
      LOCK_FAILED                       = 7
      INVALID_TARGET                    = 8
      OTHERS                            = 9.
   IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
   ENDIF.

Hope the above helps you.

Kind Regards

First create a program

such that it fetches the data from other table into an internal table.

and with that internal table you can insert that data into your Z table.

So write the code first and you can assign this program in Background (if needed)

by scheduling a job in SM36 Tcode.

Create a variant for the program, Create a job in SM36 and schedule immediately

Reward points if useful
