Procedure documentationCreating a Job with Job Control Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

If job control is activated, you must create a job request in SAP Solution Manager before a new job can be scheduled in your managed system from the job documentation.

You can create the following types of jobs with job control:

  • Periodic: You must create job requests when you create periodic jobs, because these are required to go through an approval process.

  • Ad hoc: Your configuration settings determine whether you must create job requests for ad hoc jobs. For more information, see Ad Hoc Jobs.

Prerequisites

You have configured job control. For more information, see Configuring Job Control.
