Background Job

Former Member — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 15:33:57 GMT

Hello Experts,

I want to run a background job whenever I want to. For defining that, what conditions do I have to mention? I have 3 programs that I have to include in that job.

Thanks for the help!

Go to transaction SM36 for scheduling job and use the wizard. Should be self explaining.

There are two ways for Background Job Schedualing.

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

2. Using FM's JOB_OPEN, SUBMIT, JOB_CLOSE.

SM36 steps.

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
