Background run

Former Member — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 22:00:05 GMT

Hi experts,

I am working on an interface and I have developed my object completely and now I have been asked by my team lead to make sure that this program runs in background, so can you please guide me through how can I take care of this.

Thanks

You can make a small program which can submit this program via jobname and jobcount to run it in background...

You have use like:

FM JOB_OPEN

SUBMIT Z_REP

FM JOB_CLOSE.

This code can help you:

  DATA: w_job_name       TYPE btcjob,
        w_job_nr         TYPE btcjobcnt.

start-of-selection.

w_job_name = 'ZTEST_NP'.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
  EXPORTING
*   DELANFREP              = ' '
*   JOBGROUP               = ' '
    JOBNAME                = w_job_name
*   SDLSTRTDT              = NO_DATE
*   SDLSTRTTM              = NO_TIME
*   JOBCLASS               =
 IMPORTING
   JOBCOUNT               = w_job_nr
* CHANGING
*   RET                    =
* 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 ztest_np1 and return
     USER sy-uname
     VIA JOB w_job_name NUMBER w_job_nr.

  CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
    EXPORTING
      jobcount             = w_job_nr
      jobname              = w_job_name
*      strtimmed            = co_marked
    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.
*   Internal error
  write: 'error'.
  ENDIF.
*

Do you mean the progam or the batch input session that it creates?
