Definition

After a mass processing function has been triggered, there are various ways in which processing can be carried out:

  • Create a function request
    First, requests are created very quickly, without any further checks. Mass processing is actually executed with the report COWORKDISPATCHNEW
    • Either in Customizing, in the background, (Execute Function) or
    • Via the menu in the dialog, (Execute Function)

      As a result, processing is delayed until the next time the program is started.

  • Execute function immediately
    The functions are executed directly after mass processing has been triggered. For functions that require a lot of system resources, the processing can take a very long time.
  • Execute function in the background
    First, requests are created without any further checks. Afterwards, a background process is started that processes these requests immediately. No additional background process is started in the batch job - the function is executed immediately.
  • Execute function with dialog transaction
    Further processing is controlled by a dialog that is specific to the function.
