Features

Job Scheduling

  • You can define any enterprise service that does not require user intervention as a component type. Each job is an instance of a component that has a well-defined set of parameters. For the task to be completed successfully, you must define the parameters.

  • You can schedule a job to run with the following release options:

    • Immediately

      A single iteration of the job is scheduled and released for processing.

    • Date/Time

      Several iterations of the job occur between the Scheduled Start Date / Time and No Start After Date / Time based on the Period Value you define.

    • After Event

      The job releases once a particular event is executed, for example, SAP_ARCHIVING_DELETE_FINISHED, SAP_ARCHIVING_WRITE_FINISHED or SAP_DBA_ACTION.

    • After Job

      The job releases after the execution of the job specified in the After Job field.

    • At Operation Mode

      A job releases when the system switches to a different operation mode. Operation modes can be configured in the system for various resource requests, for example, night operation with more background work processes. The system is informed by a time table when it should switch operation modes. Contact your system administrator to configure operation modes.

    • Do not release job

      The job is scheduled, but you must release it in Job Monitoring for it to process.

    • Choose Period

      When scheduling a job, you can select a period value to have the job occur for several iterations. Alternatively, you can select Choose Period to define your own period iterations. For example, by entering 2 in the Day(s) field, you indicate that you want to execute the job every 2 days.

Job Monitoring

You can use job monitoring to:

  • Search and monitor jobs

  • Cancel the execution of jobs

  • Release scheduled jobs for execution

  • View the application log of finished or aborted jobs

  • Rerun existing jobs
