Hi,

You'll find many suggestions for this type of problem (if not this specific example) by searching the forum.

The most likely solution you will find is to write a wrapper program to apply the date logic and schedule this program daily.

Hi ,

One way is to maintain a facory calendar where only the particular day (ie) the day you require the job to run is highlighted.Rest all days are maintained as holiday.

Transport such a calendar from the devlopment system to the production system .

Then in SM36 , while scheduling jobs , in the Start Conditions tab , maintain the start date and time of the job.Next , check the "Periodic Job" .In the period values select the value as "Monthly" as given in your example.

Finally select the Restrictions tab.in this give the name of the calendar which is customized according to your requirement.Then select the option "Do Not Execute Job on Sundays or Holidays".

Hope this answers your question.

Hi ,

Refer the link http://www.sapmaterial.com/background_schedule.html

or create a factory calendar with tcode SCAL. then create job in SM36 and assign its scheduling to this factory calendar.

Hi,

Thanks for you inputs..

In our system, as the number of such specifc requirements have been increasing..we are now using an external tool,

to manage SAP jobs which have specific start condtions such as:-

1. Job has to run on very specific days,

2. JOb has to run after a specific file arrives in our application diretcory

3. Job has to run only after a certain set of jobs are completed.. etc etc...
