Background Job creation (Using multiple variants)

former_member297642 — Tue, 08 May 2007 14:27:24 GMT

Hi all,

I have a requirement that I need to send 3 different files from SAP to Legacy system.

First file ---> at 1:30 PM & 6:30 PM (Daily twice).

Second file -

> at 2:30 AM (Daily).

Third file -

> at 1:00 Am (Daily).

I need to write a Interface Report program to create these three files and send to Legacy system. So can I create a job according to the mentioned timings above?

(Note : Each file will be using different variant)

I think you understand my problem. Appreciated your early inputs.

Please let me know that you want more explanation......

Thanks

Ranjith.

HI Ranjith_T.

If i undestood you right, you want your interface to run twice with one variant (say variant 1), and once with variant 2 and 3.

After creating your interface, there are several options to schedule that.

One very simple would be (in SM37):

- Create a daily job (var1) at 1:30 PM

- Create a daily job (var1) at 6:30 PM

- Create a daily job (var2) at 2:30 AM

- Create a daily job (var3) at 1:00 AM

If that's not it explain a little better the scenario.

You can also use FM JOB_OPEN and FM JOB_CLOSE but in this scenario i dont't think it's necessary.

Hope this helps.

Reward usefull ideias.

Best regards.

Hi Ranjith,

Include a field on the selection screen for the name of the File that you want to send.

Create 4 Variants (One for Each File Type & Time Combination)

Var1A & Var1B - First File

Var2 - Second File

Var3 - Third File

Use Transaction SM36 to create 4 Background Jobs:

Provide the following

Job Name : Z_JOB_1

Job class : (Priority - As per your choice)

Goto Define Steps (Function Key F6)

Provide the following

Name : (Name of Program)

Variant : Var1 (For 1st File)

Language : EN (or whatever)

Specify Start Condition: (Function Key F5)

1. Press Date/Time Pushbutton

2. Specify Schedule Start date (Todays Date) - Dont specify end date so it will execute everyday

3. Give the Time that u want to start the processing (1:30 PM as 13:30:00 for 1st variant)

4. At the botton left hand corner of the screen you will find a checkbox for Periodic Job - Select that & Press Function Key F5

5. Select Periodic Value as Daily & Save

6. Save the Job

Create the other 3 jobs similarly with the required variant & Time.

This should hopefully solve your problem !!

Kindly be generous with points if you find the solution useful....

Gaurav Parashar
