Hi,

Many times its needed to run the jobs/programs at prededefined schedule, without user intervention / triggers.Thus Job scheduling is required.

[Very useful SAP Help Link |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c4/3a7f8750521]

[Scheduling background jobs by triggering events|http://www.saptechnical.com/Tutorials/ABAP/BackgroundJob/OnEvent.htm]

Use JOB_OPEN to create a background job. The function module returns the unique ID number which, together with the job name, is required for identifying the job.

After OPEN, add job steps to it with JOB_SUBMIT

and

JOB_CLOSE sends job for processing.

TCODES: SM36, SM37

Hi Somesh

Job Scheduling means planning to execute the program at a particular time.

Importance : scheduling plays key role in business process flow.

Say, in the daily transactions, we come across many orders ie. purchase orders, sales orders etc... So there's need to update all to related database tables, and it is preferred to do once for all not like one by one. So, simply all these are scheduled to run at night time and that too we can reduce system load rather than doing at day time.

How to schedule.

Go to T.code SM36

there we find options to give date, time, status etc..

To see the status of scheduled jobs, go to SM37.

Also we can do it manually by using editor program.

We've function modules, BDC_OPEN, BDC_SUBMIT, BDC_CLOSE.

If u want program, i can send you.

If it helpful to you, reward me plz.

Thanks
