Scheduling Background Jobs

Scheduling Background Jobs

Here is what you need to do to schedule a job for background processing and have it run:

Identify the job
Optionally specify a mail recipient for spool requests generated by the job.
Specify the start time or start condition for the job, and specify whether the job should be automatically repeated.
Define the job step(s) that are to run in the job.
Save the completed job to submit it to the background processing system.

Release the job so that it can run. No job, even those scheduled for immediate processing, can run unless the job has been released.

If you have administrator authorization or end user release authorization, then your job is automatically released when you schedule it.

You can refer your end users to a simple job scheduling procedure in the R/3 Getting Started guide.
