Hi All

could you please give me some more details for TCODE SM37.

[Former Member]

sm37 will give the list of all background jobs.

you can select the user name, date of the job run etc..

in the list, you can see the job name, job start date, time, job status, and the job log as well..

hi Joel,

SM37 is used to select the back ground jobs which were defined in SM36 and process them in SM37.

Here we can give job starting conditions, when the job should be executed and all .

and we can know the status of the perticular job here.

<b>Reward points if useful</b>

cheers,

Hi,

Tcode SM37 is used to check the status of background jobs Schedulling.

We can use this transaction to schedule the report in a specific time without any user interface.

Check the below link:

Hope this info will help you.

With function module BP_JOB_MAINTENANCE (transaction SM37), you can call the full job maintenance system of the background processing system, starting with the job selection screen.

Since many users are not familiar with job maintenance and have no desire to search for their jobs, you can use the function modules BP_JOB_SELECT and BP_JOBLIST_PROCESSOR to select and display a list of jobs for the users of your program.

Use BP_JOB_SELECT to generate an internal table of jobs. Then, with BP_JOBLIST_PROCESSOR, you can display the selected jobs in the list format used by the job maintenance system.

You can also use BP_FIND_JOBS_WITH_PROGRAM to select jobs that run a particular program. Use this function module with BP_JOBLIST_PROCESSOR to display a job list to your users. Like BP_JOBLIST_SELECT; BP_FIND_JOBS_WITH_PROGRAM offers interactive and silent modes.

For an example that uses BP_FIND_JOBS_WITH_PROGRAM, please see Displaying Job Status: SHOW_JOBSTATE.

You can display a job list in three modes:

Display mode: The user can view job attributes and such job products as spool requests and job logs. He or she cannot, however, change jobs or perform such operations as releasing a job to run.

Edit mode: The user can perform all maintenance operations for which he or she is authorized.

Select mode: The user is requested to select a job from the list. When the selection is made, the list is closed and the TBTCJOB structure of the selected job is returned to your program.

Authorizations

The authorization tests for background processing are in effect for processing of job lists. These authorizations are described in the Users, Authorizations, and System Security guide and in Basis Customizing.

The following table shows for each attribute of a job:

whether the attribute applies to a job as a whole or only to a single job step

Each of the programs in a job forms a separate job step. For each job step, you can make separate specifications for attributes other than the start date and target system for running the job.

where and how the value for each attribute is assigned.

For programming examples of the attributes, please see the next section. Values for most of the attributes are predefined in the ABAP module LBTCHDEF.
