Documentation
Definition
Name of the host system on which you want to process a background job.
In programs that schedule jobs, the name of the host system is evaluated according to the type of job step being run. For an ABAP job step, the background processing system looks for an SAP instance on the target system. For an external job step, the name is used directly as the target system for running the external program or command.

Procedure
If background work processes are active on several host systems, you can determine the host system on which a background processing request is to be processed.
Normal case: Leave the field empty. The SAP System processes your request on the host system which has the lowest background work load at the starting time of the request.
Exception: If you have to specify the host system, display a list of the background host systems with the possible entries key. A background host system is a host system on which an SAP instance runs that offers the service background processing.
Then enter the name of the host system. Only then can your request be processed on the entered host system.
You should determine the host system if, for example, a printer which is necessary for processing your request can only be reached by a certain host system.

Procedure
Enter the name of the host system on which the external program is to be started.
Examples
Dependencies
On the target system, an SAP instance does not have to run at the starting time. However, the SAP System must run at the start date.
To be able to start an external program successfully, the following conditions must be met:
- The SAP gateway server must be active and must be able to establish a connection between the SAP background processing server and the target system.
The external program is started via CPI-C (the gateway server).
- You must enter the complete path name of the external program or the program must be in the search path of the SAP CPI-C user.
The gateway server starts the program with the SAP CPI-C user. Usually, this is the host system user c11adm.
- The SAP "executables" directory must be in the search path of the SAP CPI-C user. The external program is started using an SAP control program that also receives the return value of the external program.
By default, this is the directory /usr/sap/C11/SYS/exe/run.
