Does the job have a start date?

Display the job’s start date (see Analyzing Job Status)

Does the job have a start date?

  • Yes:

    Continue with step 2

  • No:

    assign the job a start date

Step 2:

Does the user who scheduled the job have authorization to release jobs?

Display the authorizations that the user has for background processing (see Analyzing Status, Configuration and Administration Data)

Does he have release authorization?

  • Yes:

    Continue with step 3

  • No:

    either give the user release authorization or have the batch administrator release the job.

Step 3:

Has the start date been reached?

  • Yes:

    Is start date = ‘after Event’and was the event raised using the sapevt program?

    • Yes:

      Check whether sapevt is working (see Analyzing Problems With Events)

      Is sapevt notifying problems?

      • Yes:

        End of analysis

      • No:

        Continue with step 4

    • No:

      Either wait until the start date is reached or assign the job a new start date (see Analyzing Job Status)

Step 4:

Are the resources necessary for executing the job available?

Call the graphical job monitor

(see Analyzing ABAP Runtime Problems)

Does the job have a target server?

  • Yes:

    Is there a free background work process on the target server for the job class requested?

  • No:

    –Is there at least one host with a free background work process for the job class requested?

    • Yes:

      Continue with step 5

    • No:

      Either wait until a background work process becomes free or set up an additional background work process for the job class (see Analyzing Parts of the Runtime Environment, Switching Between Operating Modes)

      Continue with step 7

  • No:

    Continue with step 7

Step 7:

Record background processing

–Record the component of the background processing which is responsible for starting the job (see Analyzing Parts of the Runtime Environment)

Analyze the trace information

Can you solve the problems yourself?

  • Yes:

    End of analysis

  • No:

    Send the trace to SAP.
