Setting Up the Background Processing System

Context

To ensure your background processing system is set up correctly, complete the following tasks.

Procedure

  1. When you first set up the SAP System, you should decide on a strategy for giving important background jobs priority in processing.

    For more information, see Prioritizing Class A Jobs.

  2. When you set up a new background server, make sure that background processing is activated and that the server is integrated into your operation modes.

    For more information, see Activating Background Processing.

  3. You will need to assign the correct user authorizations when you set up either of the two following users:

    • A new background processing administrator

    • A background-processing end user with more capabilities than simply scheduling jobs and checking job status

    For more information, see Authorizations for Background Processing.

  4. You have the option to create RFC groups for specifying which servers may be used for processing particular parallel backgrounds.

    For more information, see Defining RFC Groups for Parallel-Processed Jobs.
