Hello bindhu.konidala

As of now it is not possible to trigger application jobs using VBA hoioks. But that said I am currently working on a custom VBA development that will leverage the oData API to trigger any application jobs in SAP IBP.

I am primarily using the communication scenario 0035 (which is used in API calls for external schedulers) to pull in the application jobs and then trigger the same using inbound API in SAP IBP. But currently it is under development and will take sometime for me to complete the coding. Plus this needs to be validated for performance and stability by Excel UI development team in SAP.

Once it is complete I will share the link for github from where you can leverage the code.
