E-mail notification

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have job's running on production system. I have access to SM37 ... but everyday I have to go & check SM37 to see wether any job failed or not at SAP's end ... Is there a way where in the users & myself can get an e-mail notification if the job fails ...

Thank You,

SB.

Thank Michael... could you also tell me what is the purpose of NEWFLAG & how does this value get populated in the table.... I see various combinations like

Status = S Newflag = C

Status = F Newflag = C

Status = A Newflag = C

Status = P Newflag = S

Status = F Newflag = ' '(blank)

Status = S Newflag = ' '(blank)

Thank You,

SB

I don't know of an SAP provided solution, but you could easily write your own program to monitor the background jobs (tables TBTCO, TBTCP) and send emails when an error is detected. I did something similar to this to monitor errored transactions in SM58.

Hi,

Create a report to do the following select, to get the job failure.

Select * from V_OP where STATUS = 'F' "(For failure).

If anything gets selected, then send the details using the function module mentioned in the previous post.

Thanks,

Juwin.

Hi Juwin,

Thanks for your reply... I am checking V_OP in prodcution system... & I wanted to know what the various values of the feild STATUS ... but I could not find them...

Above all just now a job finished which creats a session in SM35 ... so I was closely monitoring this job from SM37, SM35 & table V_OP...

SM37 & SM35 shows job as completed & session created & processed... but in V_OP (STATUS feild) is now showing "F" ... previously it was showing "S" ... also a new entry in V_OP got created with tomorrows date for the job & currently it's status feild is "S"... What I understand with this is "F" = Finished & "S" = Scheduled...

So how will I know from this table which all jobs failed??

Thank You,

SB.

Hi,

I am looking into view V_OP ... & I am unable to get what are the different values to the field "STATUS".... there isno check table for this field so how do I know which job completed successfully & which failed...I also found the value "P" for this which I have no idea to what it stands for...

My requirement is that I have to check for successful & failed jobs that are related to all the interfaces running in the system ... My approach is to write a generic program with parameters having job names & then cross check against V_OP & alert or download a file giving the job status...

Is my approach correct ??

[Former Member]

Any Suggestion for the "STATUS" field in V_OP ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You,

SB.

A - Cancelled

F - Completed

P - Scheduled

R - Active

S - Released

I'm sorry I don't know what the newflag values represent. In the past, I've only concerned myself with the status field when writing monitoring routines.

You can receive e-mails about failed jobs by using Tx: RZ21 and RZ20.

Refer to the following links:

RZ21: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/2c/abb2e7ff6311d194c000a0c93033f7/frameset.htm">Define Automatic Alert Notification</a>

RZ20: <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/20/df2270043c11d294c300a0c93033f7/frameset.htm">Monitor Alerts for Background Processing</a>

SB,

I use the following code to create a job and check on the status of that job. You could replace my error message with code to send an e-mail.
