Hi,
As far as I know there is no way that allows you to change the name of an pre-defined background job.
To see definition of a job you may go to the transaction sm37 and check only the scheduled option and go to job (top left corner) --> change. However this only allows us to modify the program / variant / user etc. but it does not allow us to modify the name of the r/3 job.
So this means you can not change the name of an already defined job, what you can do is copy the job (again from SM37) and give the new name.
As an additional information I would like to share is for every job you create in SAP r/3 system there is unique number that is generated associted withevery job you define called as job id, which you can see by double clicking on job in sm37 and going to job detail.
This job Id is used for mapping of jobs with external schedulling tools like tivoli workload scheduelr and if you're using this tool the jobs won't trigger from this tool so you'll again have to redefine them from TWS.
Also one more thing I would like to share is you can get the information about the job name and job Id in the table TBTCO, now it may be possible to change the name of the job there but it is not advisable.
Hope this information helps you.
Thanks & Regards
