In this step, you define the parameters you need to control the processing of background jobs.

You can define the following background jobs:

  • Activating of print jobs
  • Printing of work documents
  • Activating of deletion flags or deletion indicators.

For the background job, you determine the following parameters:

  • Description of the background job
  • Priority of the background job (job class)
  • Computer on which the background job is executed
  • the number of "steps" of the background job (each step starts a new program)
  • whether the background job processes ABAP/4 programs or external programs
  • when and how often the background job is to be run

    You can select the following options in the SAP System:

  • Immediately
    • The system executes the job immediately after it has been released.

  • Date
    • By entering date and time, you can determine when the job is run. It is also possible to have the background job repeated automatically.

  • After the job
    • You can enter the name of the job after which your job should be executed. In addition, you can determine whether this "linking" is dependent on the status.
    The indicator status-dependent means that the second job is only executed if the first job was finished successfully. This makes sense if the second job depends on the first job.
    Example:
    1. Create evaluation
    2. Print evaluation

  • After event
    • You can enter an event for which you want the job to run.
    Events are triggered by ABAP/4 programs, by external programs and by the SAP System. An event is a signal which indicates that a certain status has been reached in the SAP System or in another program.
    If you choose the option After event a job which is marked as being periodic is restarted whenever the same event occurs again.
