Variants Batch Job

[former_member222016]

Dear All,

In our production system when i go to SM37, I am able to see for various programs, variants are like '&0000000527521', '&0000000000009' . Could anyone tell me what are these types of variants, and how are they created.

Thanks in advance

Hi George,

This variant is getting generated when you run the program in background through your selection screen.

By Opting the path - Program --> Execute in BackGround.

At that time, the system will generate automatically a runtime variant - '&0000000000001'. Next time if you run the system will increment the same and change the value to - '&0000000000002' and so on.

You can check the table VARI where system stores the data for variants. Run the programs in background and you can see the behaviour in this table.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Abhi

Exactly as Abhi says.

Alternatively, you can create your own variants and give them the name you want, so it's easier to track.

Cheers,
