Hi,

In SM35, there's an option to process the session in background. Look at the first menu: Session--> Process in background.

Hello Ambichan,

In SHDB, you can create a program using the option EDIT-->Create Program.

Then you can schedule this program in background. Is this what you're looking for ?

now client wants to execute this "t_test" session

in background at particular "FROM DATE"(not immediately).

since i dont have variant for my program i can schedule this in SM37 also.hope now its understandable.

using SHDB, I have already created program as Zfb05.

Hi,

then what is the problem ?

1. Go to SE38 and enter the program name.

2. Use the menu path <i>Program>Execute>Background.</i>

3. In the next screen, choose <b>Schedule</b>.

By the way, are you sure that your program doesn't have any variant? I think there would be one. Because the program you have created using SHDB, ZFB05, will have a selection screen. Just create a variant and use it in the step 3 above.

Hope that helps.

Hello Ambichan,

I don't think there's any way that you can schedule a session directly in a background job, without wrapping it up in some program. (The only option is to execute it immediately, as explained in the earlier post)

<i>The job step has to be a program.</i>

So you can create the program from SHDB for your session in SM35 and then schedule it.

Hello,

you could use the report RSBDCSUB. Create a variant for this report and create a job executing teh programm RSBDCSUB with your variant.

Hi Ambi,

As Anand and Wolfgang suggested, what you need to do in your ZFB05 program is as follows. Insert this after you create the sessions.

Add parameters to your ZFB05 program for the session background processing like date, session name etc.

Then after you create your sessions, insert the following code

*-- run in the background
      CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
           EXPORTING
                jobname          = 'YOURJOBNAME'
           IMPORTING
                jobcount         = v_jobcount
           EXCEPTIONS
                cant_create_job  = 1
                invalid_job_data = 2
                jobname_missing  = 3
                OTHERS           = 4.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE 'E' NUMBER sy-msgno
                WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      submit rsbdcsub  with mappe    = 'YOURSESSIONNAME'
                       with z_verarb = 'X'
                       with fehler   = 'X'
                       USER sy-uname 
                       VIA JOB 'YOURJOBNAME'
                       NUMBER v_jobcount AND RETURN.
*-- close the job
           CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
           EXPORTING
                jobcount             = v_jobcount
                jobname              = 'YOURJOBNAME'
                strtimmed            = 'X'
           EXCEPTIONS
                cant_start_immediate = 1
                invalid_startdate    = 2
                jobname_missing      = 3
                job_close_failed     = 4
                job_nosteps          = 5
                job_notex            = 6
                lock_failed          = 7
                OTHERS               = 8.
      IF sy-subrc <> 0.
        MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE 'W' NUMBER sy-msgno
                WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
      ENDIF.

Hope this helps,
