Hi,

I have to write a program to schedule a background job for another program.

Need your help to understand how we can achieve this functionality.Any example of an abap code would be of great help.

Need it urgently.

Thanks in advance.

Sandeep.

Hi,

Search the forum for JOB_OPEN and JOB_CLOSE, these function modules are used to create a job from an ABAP program and are often discussed.

Regards,

Nick

Hi,

You can use the JOB_OPEN & JOB_CLOSE FM to schedule a background job for another program.

Check this and do reward points if helpful.

Thanks,

Hi,

JOB_OPEN

JOB_SUBMIT

JOB_CLOSE

You can use the import parameters of function module JOB_CLOSE

SDLSTRTDT & SDLSTRTTM

to pass the required start date and time (respectively) of your background job.

these are the function modules used to shedule in programmatically.

Hi Sandeep,

Here is the demo program regarding the BDC For the background job.


report zprprbdc1
       no standard page heading line-size 255.

include bdcrecx1.

parameters: dataset(132) lower case.
***    DO NOT CHANGE - the generated data section - DO NOT CHANGE    ***
*
*   If it is nessesary to change the data section use the rules:
*   1.) Each definition of a field exists of two lines
*   2.) The first line shows exactly the comment
*       '* data element: ' followed with the data element
*       which describes the field.
*       If you don't have a data element use the
*       comment without a data element name
*   3.) The second line shows the fieldname of the
*       structure, the fieldname must consist of
*       a fieldname and optional the character '_' and
*       three numbers and the field length in brackets
*   4.) Each field must be type C.
