Foreground Execution Vs. Background Execution

Former Member — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 12:35:28 GMT

Hi all,

I've a program, when executed in the foreground, it's taking few seconds for the output to be displayed. But, when i execute in the background, it's taking longer time.

My question is what might be the reason for such difference in execution times?

Regards,

Pavan

hi Pavan,

the reason could be that there are (were) not enough free work process for background jobs. You can check that in SM37, whne you start the report if background, if it already started or still waiting for a free work process.

Alternatively you can check in SM50 as well, what the processes are actually doing (BTC stands for batch/background in the list).

hope this helps

It is not already started and even it's not waiting.... We have executed it as Start Immediately.

Anyways thanks for your reply.

Hi pavan,

1. JOB Class

2. By default the Job class = C

3. So, put this as A

<b>A - High priority</b>

B- Middle priority

C - Low priority
