Scheduling Run Series in the Central SystemLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

For each remote system to be checked, an ATC run series is configured in the Central Check System using the corresponding object provider. More on this: Configuring Run Series in the Central System

Context

As administrator or quality expert, you can schedule the check runs in remote systems from within the Central Check System. Check runs using object providers analyse code in a remote system using the checks provided with the Central Check System .

Target Audience

  • AS ABAP System Administrators
  • ABAP Quality Experts

To start a central run series, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. Log on to the ATC master system (Central Check System ) as ATC administrator.
  2. Launch the ATC administration tool (transaction ATC )
  3. In the navigation pane, expand the nodes Start of the navigation path ATC Administration Next navigation step Runs End of the navigation path and double-click the Schedule Runs entry.
    The screen that appears, displays a list with the existing run series.
  4. Select the run series in question and click the Schedule button in the toolbar.
  5. In the dialog that appears, adapt the settings for the Life Span of the series and for Execution to your needs. Otherwise, leave these settings unchanged.
    Remember The Life Span defines how long (number of days) the ATC result will be kept in the system. After this duration, the ATC result will be automatically deleted in the system.

  6. Choose Execute (or press F8 ).

Results

The execution of the run series in the remote system is managed by the ABAP background processing mode: an ATC dispatcher runs as a batch job within the Central Check System and from there it starts the individual work processes using the RFC connection to the remote systems.

After successful completion of this procedure, the check results from the Checked System(s) will automatically be made available in the Central Check System for analysis.

Tip With the option Execute in Background, you can schedule a run series in regular time intervals.
