Get background job detail

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have created a report and created a background job for this. In another program I want to check whether an active/scheduled job of the first report exist or not?

How to solve this problem??

Hi ,

To run a report in a background, a job needs to be created with a step using the report name

and a variant for selection parameters. It is recommended to create a separate variant for each

scheduled job to produce results for specific dates (e.g. previous month) or organizational units (e.g.

company codes).

While defining the step, the spool parameters needs to be specified

(Step-> Print Specifications->Properties) to secure the output of the report and help authorized users

to find the spool request.

Use FM : BP_JOB_READ

Pass the job number and jobcount and it will return the status of the job.

Hi,

Use the Function module

BP_FIND_JOBS_WITH_PROGRAM

Check the output table

JOBLIST (Structure TBTCJOB)

It will have all the job details

Just pass the program name
