Procedure
To schedule a program for background processing:
To start the standard job scheduling function, choose Administration
To schedule ABAP programs, you can also use the ABAP job scheduling function. From the ABAP Editor, choose Program
® Execute ® Background.If you are scheduling an external command or external program as a background job, you must use standard job scheduling.
The Job Wizard is available only from the standard job scheduling function.
The initial screen of the SAP Job Wizard appears:
A job that has been scheduled must also be released. This restriction applies even if you specify an immediate start for your job.
If you have the necessary authorization, your job is released automatically when you schedule it. Otherwise, your system administrator will release your job.
For more information on your jobs than is shown in the status screen, choose Job overview. See also Checking the Status of a Background Job.
