I want to understand how the Batch Job change logs can be pulled from SAP .

[ardhavara]

TBTCP and TBTCO are not helping with what has been changed in the Job .  I want to see the logs of Job definition changes or frequency changes of Batch Jobs . Also want to understand if there is any system limitation on Batch Jobs change logs information extraction ?

Hi,

https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-discussions/change-log-for-a-bcg-job/td-p/85258... 

background job is not an object, so it does not have change history.

During execution of job with defined period new task is scheduled.

So what You can do is check previous executions and compare parameters

- look at TBTCO (and maybe others TBTC*) tables.

• Or

It is not possible to see the changes, if the good house keeping job deleted the job logs. The only way to find out the issue, may be investigating change documents (CDHDR and CDPOS tables), if they are keeping changes on it. One another way is checking table change logs, if the table logging is activated.

Which specific table shows last batch job changes like details "old value" and "new Value". From CHDPOS  Is there any specific field where we have Input field has Job Name and Job schedule, Variant and then see job changes .

Hello,

The job SAP_REORG_JOBS delete all the history of your job

the job SAP_REORG_SPOOL delete all the history of your spool

if you want to change the parameter of the job (Retentiontime e.g.) you need to go to program RSBTCDEL

your joblogs should be kept under /sapmnt/<SID>/global
