Hi,

You can use the background work processes for long-running tasks. These

are sometimes also called batch work processes.Here user interaction is not required.

Normally, background processing is used not only for long-running, but also

for recurrent tasks. Examples of this type of task are the daily database backup or the month end work for financial accounting.

For examle Dialog work processes should be able to respond to end users requests quickly. Dialog resources should therefore not be burdened with long-running programs. This can lead to bottlenecks in the dialog response time. The

system profile parameter <b>rdisp/max_wprun_time</b> exists for this reason. It limits the maximum runtime of a dialog step within a dialog work process. This

should ensure that dialog work processes are not blocked by long-running

programs, interfering with online operation. After the maximum runtime the program is terminated.

It won't happend in background.You can define background jobs in <b>SM36</b> and you can monitor the jobs status in <b>SM37</b>.

I hope it will help you.Any issues plz post.
