Pausing and Restarting an ABAP Program

Hello all,

My company is currently in the process of upgrading from 4.6C to ERP 2005. In the new ERP DEV box, the where-used button is not functioning properly.

After doing some research, we found out that we need to run SAPRSEUB to re-index some of the tables associated with where-used.

The problem that we are running into is the amount of time it takes for the Job to run. Every night our Database is brought down for backups, so the job cannot run durring this time.

Is there any way to pause the abap program and restart it where it left off after the database is brought back online?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

Aaron

No, there is no way to "pause" a program in this fashion.

DB being brought down, means that application server must come down as well right?

Rich-

I just talked to one of our BASIS guys and he said that the application server does not go down when the DB is brought down.

However he did say that when the DB is brought down, nobody can get into SAP.

Nobody can get into SAP, but yet the instance will stay up? If so, I have to assume that absolutly nothing can be running anywhere in the entire system including background jobs.
