Executing the Deadlines Using Subordinate JobsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You have identified the tasks (with high deadline workload) that must be executed using a dedicated job.

Context

You use this procedure to create separate background jobs called subordinate jobs to execute the deadlines of work items with high deadline processing time. In general, the deadlines of work items are executed by the background job, SWWDHEX. Some of the tasks associated with the work items with deadlines have a higher number of deadlines and take more time for execution. This affects the deadline processing of other tasks and their work items. To overcome this situation, you can create and configure dedicated, subordinate jobs of SWWDHEX for executing the deadlines of tasks with high deadline workload.

Procedure

  1. Call the transaction, SWF_DEADL_CONF.
  2. Group the related tasks, the deadlines of which must be executed using a dedicated job into a task set:

    8. In the Task field, select the required tasks that you want to add to the task set.

    9. Repeat steps f through h, to add more tasks to the task set.

  3. Create a dedicated job and assign the task set to it:

    1. Choose the Jobs & Task Set Activation tab page

    2. Choose Display <-> Change .

    3. Choose Create .

    4. In the Job Name field, enter a name for the dedicated, subordinate job.
