Hi

SAP background processing automates routine tasks and helps you optimize your organization’s SAP computing resources. Using background processing, you tell the SAP System to run programs for you. Background processing lets you move long-running or resource-intensive program runs to times when the system load is low. It also lets you delegate to the system the task of running reports or programs.

Background jobs are pgms that are scheduled to be run in the Background without user interaction. So this can be done only for Type 1(executable) Program and not for Module-Pool Programs. Typically, a variant is defined and the pgm is run using the same.

The transaction code is sm36 -Define Background job. Using the <b>Start Condition</b> tab you can define when you want the job to run (specific time or if it has to follow after a particular job is done etc.,) Using the <b>Step</b> tab you can assign the pgm name and variant.

After the job is scheduled, you can check the status in sm37, along with the Job log and Spool.
