Creating a Variant 

Use

Variants are used for running background jobs or reports for DART utilities.

1. Execute the DART utility that you wish to run as a background job, interactively.
2. Enter the necessary parameters at the screen for that utility. For example, if you are creating a variant for the extract utility, enter the various parameters of the Extract data screen, including the name of the extract file and the directory set.
3. Instead of executing the utility, choose Save as variant.
4. Enter the name of the variant and all other necessary parameters at the ABAP: Save as Variant screen.
