Periodic jobs using ABAP program

former_member403640 — Tue, 31 Jan 2017 20:38:42 GMT

Hell Developers,

I have a master job which has around 10 steps. And i would like to schedule this job periodically. Lets say run once for every 45 mins.

I know i can achieve this using SM36, but i would like to do it using the ABAP program.

I am using FM JOB_OPEN for job creation and JOB_SUBMIT to create 10 steps. But not sure how to run this master job periodically (for every 45) through the program.

Since i cannot transport a job to the other systems, i wanted to schedule this using an ABAP program.

I would appreciate any help here.

Ram - Why can't you just create it in target system using SM36/other job scheduling tool if you have one ?

Did you (search and) read online help in Background Processing like Programming with the Background Processing System (BC-CCM-BTC), Scheduling a Job: Full-Control Method, Look at the samples for JOB_CLOSE schedule options.

We will be distributing this program to our customers to install. Customers wanted an automated process that would trigger the job and process those 10 steps.
