setting multiple jobs simultaneousely..........

[Former Member]

i want some info how to set multiple jobs simultaneously.

i have one pgm which is taking much time in prod.

infact that pgm updates one table and picks from that table and sends to FTP file.

i have splitted those table updates into 4 parts , i mean i have taken 4 pgms to do this.

am splitting the table values into 4 parts and updating from these 4 pgms.

now i am calling the 4 pgms in background using submit.

now can reduce the half-of the time.

fine with this but i want to still reduce the time.

i want to schedule these 4 pgms simultaneously in background so that all the values will update at a time and can reduce the time

Hi srini,

you may program these jobs based upon an event. You should do this:

- with transaction sm62: define a custom event

- with transaction sm36: define these 4 jobs, based upon this event you've just created

- with transaction sm64: trigger the event

Alternatively, function modules 'JOB*' (and specially 'JOB_CLOSE' with parameter EVENT_ID) allow you to simulate transaction sm36.

I hope this helps. Best regards,

Alvaro
