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

You can define the following background jobs:

  • activating print jobs
  • printing shop papers
  • activating deletion flags or deletion indicators

You specify the following parameters for a background job:

  • name of the background job
  • priority of the background job (job class)
  • computer on which the background job is executed
  • how many "steps" the background job is to contain (each step starts a further program.)
  • whether the background job processes ABAP/4 programs or external programs
  • when and how often the background job should run

    The SAP system provides the following selection options:

  • Immediately
    • The system starts the job right after it is released.

  • Date
    • You can specify a date and a time at which you would like the job to be executed. If desired, you can also initiate an automatic repetition of the background job.

  • After job
    • You can specify the name of the job whose processing is to precede your job. You can also specify whether this "appendage" is to be status-dependent.
    The indicator status-dependent means that the second job is executed only if the first one was completed successfully. This is useful if the second job depends on the first one.
    Example:
    1. Create analysis
    2. Print analysis

  • After event
    • You can specify an event at which you would like the job to be executed.
    Events are initialized by ABAP/4 programs and external programs and by the SAP system. An event is a signal that a certain status has been reached in the SAP system or in another program.
    For start option after event, a "periodic" job is started for each occurrence of a described event
