Background Job scheduling

Former Member

Hi ,

I need to schedule a background job.In the transaction sm36 i gave the job name and pressed enter.

In the pop up i can give the program name .The first field in the Pop up is User . Usually the default value is the sy-uname(logged in name). I need to change it to anthr account and then schedule it.

I am trying this coz after some time my login may expire and this should not affect the job..

After i save it and got to sm37 and saw my saved job.But the job created by coulmn shows my name.

So but when u point at this job and click on Step button on the app toolbar , the user column over there shows the account i gave in teh pop up.

Is this correct way of doing? As the job created by is my username will the job get cancelled if my username getrs expired?

Please help with your valuable suggestions.

Thanks,

Neeraj

No it will not get cancelled. The important point is that you chose a different (probably technical) user name under which the job will be executed from an authorization point of view.
