Hi,

i execute a report to run in backgroung.

Program->executein background->printersetup->immediately

periodicvalues->otherperiods->5minutes..

In the periodic tab i have selected other periods and made it to run for every 5 mts.I am seeing this in SM37 that program is executing for every 5 mts.Now i want to stop this, i have deleted the released job for this program in sm37 and the job was stopped running further.Which is the proper way to stop this.

Thanks,

Ponraj.s.

You need to change the JOb definition. Remove the Periodic job checkbox.

In SM37 you see the instance/occurances of job and not the job itself. Say if you have daily job , the moment the job runs for today ( the scheduler ) will schedule it for the next day . You will see another entry and the status as "RELEASED" in SM37 . You have to delete this "RELEASED" job to stop it from running the next time and subsequent times .

What you may have been doing is deleting the occurances of job which have already run ( Status - Completed ).

In SM37 if you expand the date range you will a number of entries for same job if its a daily job. You only need to delete the one with "RELEASED" status.

If after stopping the job say after one month you again want to restart. You have to search for one old occurance for that job in SM37 ( may be give a ate range in past ) . Select that job and do a repeat scheduling.

If you want to delete the job totally you have delete all the occurances starting from the first run of the job.

Hope this helps.
