Hi,

>Rant over the one thing I dont like about SAP

If you have only one single thing you don't like about SAP products then you are very lucky.

There are plenty of things that I hate in SAP products, specially with the weird "ergonomy" of a lot of transactions or bugs I know since R/3 release 2.2 and still there in ECC 6.0...

Number one on my "hate list"is presently J2EE logs analysis...

Fortunately, there are also a lot of things that I love in SAP products.

Otherwise, I would not be still working in this area since 11 years.

I am always amazed that the architecture of the abap stack is so old (1992 !) and still up to date and so reliable (especially compared to Java...)

Where do you want to see this button?

You could introduce a new batch event Z_RUN_NOW via SM62, change all the released jobs in your productive system to start at event Z_RUN_NOW, then write a little ABAP that just displays a button saying "Run now!" which will fire event Z_RUN_NOW by calling method CL_BATCH_EVENT=>RAISE.

After clicking the button, you should start running immediately.
