Hello,

You can do this in transaction SM36 .

In this, you define the job name and in the step button you can define the program that will run. Then go to the button Start condition and in this when you select the button Immediate will appear a button Period Values and in this you can define the period of your job.

Regards.

Hi,

Goto Transaction SM36,

1. Give job name, Traget server and priority.

2. Add step, in that give your program name and variant.

3. Click start conditions and give the date and time for execution.

4. Save the job.

5. Check the job status using transaction SM37

If you want to schedule the job immediately, then from selection screen of your report press F9 and give the start time as immediate. this will schedule the program to run in background. Check the status of job using transaction SM37.

Regards,

Ranjith.
