[Former Member]

Transaction code is not needed.

Sure shot solution.:

Program with variant is always needed to schedule a job.

Yes you can use your created variant for BACKGROUND execution of your program.

After selecting the variant follow the same procedure .

Hi Ramesh,

This is simple.

Goto SE38. Type the program name.

Then choose the menu item Program->Execute->Background. Then Click schedule in the 'Execute Report in Background' Screen. Then give a job name and then give a time and Then click schedule periodically. Then give in the hours field the value 5.

Thanks and best Regards,

Hi ,

SM36 and SM37 are the transactions to difine back ground job and job selection respectively.

In SM37 you can execute the background job , that is created in SM36.

In the SM36 specify a job name and press ENTER and then in text screen specify the program

name that you want to schedule in the background and SAVE . So the job with the specified jobname

will be scheduled .

In the Transaction SM37 spcify the JOBname and check the Job status as SCHED.

Now execute it .
