[VijayCR]

Dear all,

As most of the companies are moving to the S/4 HANA On-Premise.When you get a requirement to create a report which will perform month end posting especially in the S/4 Finance area.

How to you design an Application for such requirement.

Is it possible to Create a  Ui5 App to perform both front end and month end background jobs moniter ? Yes but is it a good design as you have to do lot of reworks to make it work as a background job.

When i was going through certain Fiori Apps I found an interesting S/4 HANA standard Application Application Jobs from Fiori APP library : https://fioriappslibrary.hana.ondemand.com/sap/fix/externalViewer/#/detail/Apps('F1240')/S14OP

Let explore the options in the above Appplication jobs

1. How to create job template

Open the transaction SAPJ and then Create Job Catalog Entry Name .



There are three options which SAP Provided in the transaction SAPJ in the tab HEADER :

Report : SAP GUI Report Name

Class : In case you wanted to re-use the class for a Fiori App you can also provide class here

Chain : In case you wanted to take this run the chain of Jobs then go with this option

Check Class : ABAP class that is used to check the parameter values the user enters.To be able to use all methods that are pre-delivered and up-to-date make sure that the check class inherits from the abstract class CL_APJ_JT_CHECK_BASE.

Value help : In case of value help inherit the interface  IF_APJ_RT_VALUE_HELP_EXIT will inherited for the F4 helps.

Delete Exit : In case if you want to delete the jobs after sometime Inherit the interface IF_APJ_RT_DELETE_JOB_EXIT

Text Exit : In case if you want to display the text  IF_APJ_DT_JCE_TEXT_EXIT

Scoping Relevant  :If a job catalog entry is defined as Scoping relevant, the application job component makes it available only in clients with a corresponding tuple (<client id>, <job catalog entry id>). These are maintained in the APJ_C_SCOPE table. If the flag is not set, the job catalog entry is available in all clients.
