Can I CALL FUNCTION 'SPBT_INITIALIZE' many times ?

Hi ABAP Expert,

I need your advise whether is recommended to calling FUNCTION 'SPBT_INITIALIZE' to get updated information regarding available background process for parallel processing in ABAP.

Because if i just call this program 1 time at the beginning and the report running quite long, the information is not updated anymore.

Please advise.

Thank you in advance

Hi Fernand,

In function module HRCCE_EXT_EMP_ATTR_CE, SAP has called SPBT_GET_CURR_RESOURCE_INFO if the pbt is already initialized.

So, I believe you can use the same to achieve it.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

It is not advised to call that module more times.If u call it for more times u will get exception SPBT_INITIALIZE - pbt_env_already_initialized error

Hi

what you can do is create form and perform

write your code for that FM in Form part and use perform wherever in your program you want to use.

whenever the perform will be triggered it will go to the form part where you are calling the FM.

I hope this way you can use it multiple time without calling it every time from pattern.

But I am not sure whether it is a good approach or not?

thanks
