Definition

There are several background jobs that should run periodically in a production SAP System. These jobs perform housekeeping chores such as deleting outdated spool requests of background jobs.

You should schedule each of these jobs for periodic execution according to the schedule shown in the following table.

Note

This list does not include housekeeping and reorganization programs that belong to SAP applications. See the customizing system for more information on these programs.

By following the naming conventions shown in the table, you help ensure that SAP will be able to verify that these programs are properly scheduled in the event of any problems.
