in sm36 you can

schedule a job by giving some job name (this can be any name )

in job class u can give prority of that job

execute target is the server name where that job shuld execute

on application tool bar

u will find some push buttons like start condition

etc...

start condition :- after some job or etc...

step :- you can give a variant name ( for inputs)

Use transaction <b>SM35</b>.Select the session and press F5 (process in background). Or press the execute button (F8) and tick off 'Background'.

Hi Pandrangi,

There are 3 ways to schedule a background job without going to SM36.

1. Using FM's : JOB_OPEN, JOB_INSERT and JOB_CLOSE

2. Using SUMBIT report_name VIA JOB job NUMBER job_number

3. If the program has a selection-screen, then go to the Selection-Screen. In Menu, select Program->Execute In Background.

here is the sample code

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
jobname = jobname
IMPORTING
jobcount = jobcount.

SUBMIT rfkk_mass_act_single_job
USER sy-uname
VIA JOB jobname NUMBER jobcount
WITH p_jobno = t_jobtab-jobno " parameters of report
WITH p_jobnam = t_jobtab-jobname
WITH p_jobcnt = t_jobtab-jobcount
WITH p_progn = c_progn
WITH p_laufi = p_basics-runkey-laufi
WITH p_laufd = p_basics-runkey-laufd
WITH p_interv = 'X'
WITH p_xdebg = ' '
AND RETURN.

CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_CLOSE'
EXPORTING
jobcount = jobcount
jobname = jobname
strtimmed = 'X'
IMPORTING
job_was_released = l_job_released.
